Magazines provide a great way to stay up to date with industry trends within your specific field. They offer a centralised accumulation of all relevant and current information. There are many different types of engineering magazines on the shelf. Some are geared towards entertainment and others towards detailed engineering topics. This article aims to give a general overview of engineering-related magazines for most of the main branches of engineering. These include mechanical, civil, chemical, and electrical engineering.

When you apply to present at a conference, you'll often be asked to provide a letter of motivation along with your abstract and CV. This is used to decide which applicants will be invited to give a talk or poster presentation at the conference. But what information should this letter of motivation contain, and what's the best way to increase your chance of being accepted to present?

Computer engineering is a hybrid between electronic engineering and software engineering and its focus is to develop hardware and software systems. Due to the complexity and rate of change in technology in this field, it is imperative for a computer engineer’s knowledge and skills to remain up to date. The most efficient way to achieve this is by attending conferences as these concentrate new developments in one place. Software engineering refers to the creation of programs that can perform a defined set of functions through coding.

When you mention the Internet of Things (IoT) and how it applies to engineering, most people’s thoughts turn to the manufacturing industry. Undoubtedly, the use of internet-enabled devices that link up, communicate and work with each other will revolutionise factory work. It will make assembly line processes more streamlined and cost-efficient. But, there are also plenty of uses for IoT technology in the traditionally, more ‘manual’ environments of construction and infrastructure projects. It’s estimated that IoT will have an economic impact of $6.2 trillion by 2025.
