- Environmental Science Education
By: jacobson | - The world is changing faster now than at any time since the last ice-age 10,000 years ago and the major cause of that change is man. To allow the changes to continue unchecked is reckless at the least. Monitoring those changes and being able to convince others that we have to do or not do activities that affect the environment will take well qualified people with the relevant environmental science degree. Never before, as a society, have we paid real attention to the environment and many would a ...

- The Process Of Engineering Design
By: Dominic Donaldson | - To a large extent we take the technology around us for granted, stopping to notice its value only once it has ceased to function. What we notice even less is the engineering design process, where dedicated engineers, entrepreneurs and inventors work for years to bring a product to market. We take a look at what is involved from concept to commercialisation and how engineering designers avoid the ominous 'valley of death'.
It has been suggested that there is a rhizome effect in pla ...
