The next generation of superconductors look set to revolutionise everything from medical scanners to rail networks, with its potential to enable lower energy consumption across society.
Fusion power may be THE clean and sustainable energy source of the future. Julia Pierce investigates the technology used and graduate opportunities at ITER, a multi-nationally funded, pioneering fusion reactor currently being constructed in France.
Civil engineering is not just about roads, tunnels and bridges; its about creating practical solutions for everyday people. From rebuilding towns and villages after natural disasters to creating hi-tech buildings in cities, civil engineers are at the heart of society.
The creation of a much-feted Large Hadron Collider at CERN hopes to uncover some of the biggest mysteries of science. But perhaps the biggest success of the experiment so far is the ingenuity and sheer hard work of the engineers involved.
New technologies are being forged to help the world deal with dwindling oil reserves. Julia Pierce looks at innovative projects that are aiming to improve production and its environmental impact
With domestic households one of the key culprits in carbon emissions, the race is now on to find the most effective ways to cut energy use in the home. Julia Pierce finds that eco-architecture could play a key role in the buildings of the future
With global energy demands increasing and environmental concerns a priority, Eric Russell shows that only the engineers of tomorrow - you - can save the planet.
From unmanned aerial vehicles to passenger jets, Eric Russell explores the aerospace engineering industry and the many exciting opportunities it offers graduates.
Engineering today is in a state of change globally and, suggests Eric Russell, engineers need to be known by another name, such as executives, perhaps, to reflect these changes.
A brief survey of universities and R&D organisations suggests that tomorrow's leading-edge engineers will be working in one of five areas and each will change the way we live in the world. Eric Russell investigates.
