The Fourth Industrial Revolution - New Chances for Engineers
Ever since Klaus Schwab, the Founder and Executive Chairman of the World Economic Forum coined the phrase “Fourth Industrial Revolution” in his 2016 book, technologists and engineers have been getting to grips with what it is, and what role they will play in it. In the book, he describes it as a technological revolution where the lines between the physical, digital and biological worlds become blurred. In other words, how innovations like the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, quantum computing etc. interface and merge with our physical existence.

The Top Universities for Mechanical Engineering in Canada
Mechanical engineering students study the forces and thermal environment encountered by a product and its parts so they can come up with the best designs and manufacturing processes of a product. Most importantly, an in-depth understanding of objects and systems in motion are required, which makes mechanical engineering a broad and diverse discipline of engineering. While it can be difficult in the current climate to move to a new city or country in order to pursue your studies, many universities, including some of those on our list, offer distance-learning online degrees. You don’t have to leave wherever you're holed up and, most importantly, you can stay safe!

How Engineers are Helping to Solve the Global Food Crisis
The world is beset by intertwined crises: the climate, pandemic, and, increasingly, a crisis in the global food supply. It’s prosaic to say, but as the world’s population increases, more food is needed to sustain it. And regardless of the population size, humanity will only ever have the same amount of land on which to produce its food. This, as one may expect, is a growing tension. Luckily, engineers of all stripes are busy using their expertise, conjuring up innovative solutions to address the issue. Here we take a look at some of the most impressive.

Women in Engineering
Long gone are the days when women were believed to have no place in the workforce. In the United States today, women make up 49% of the college-educated workforce. However, despite this encouraging number, careers in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) remain severely lacking when it comes to females in the field. Let’s break down why that is, and how it can change.

Inventory of hazardous substances in container vessels: another necessary but bureaucratic burden for carriers
The European Union (EU) is working very hard to make ship recycling greener and safer in the future. It is quite clear that the dismantling of ships in many parts of South Asia in its current state is not acceptable, either from an environmental or a social point of view. Ship recycling regulations, adopted seven years ago, are finally gathering pace now. In particular, the regulation firstly prohibits or restricts the installation and use of hazardous materials such as asbestos or ozone depleting substances on board ships.

Freight container market needs a two-year recovery period
The COVID-19 crisis has hit hard enough and continues to affect the global container shipping market. The current economic situation does not give much hope for a short-term recovery of this market. Demand for container shipments has fallen sharply, especially as China closed much of its plants in February 2020. The volume of production or cargo to be exported to other countries plummeted. The situation was exacerbated by a number of restrictions and requirements in almost every industry and in the world's ports.

Can You Work As An Engineer And Travel Full Time?
Remote work can save you $7000 a year because of not having to spend so much on commuting, food, clothing and childcare. Many 'location independent' workers decide to spend this saved money on travel, since they are able to work from anywhere and have always wanted to see more of the world. Does this sound like your dream job? The problem is that not all jobs can be done remotely. Luckily for you, however, engineering work absolutely can. Demand for trained engineers is increasing, and companies know they can cut costs and increase output and employee retention by offering remote work. You just have to know how to find it.
