YouTube - ‪3D Printer‬‏ - 0 views

  •  
    "3D printing is a form of additive manufacturing technology where a three dimensional object is created by laying down successive layers of material. 3D printers are generally faster, more affordable and easier to use than other additive manufacturing technologies. 3D printers offer product developers the ability to print parts and assemblies made of several materials with different mechanical and physical properties in a single build process. Advanced 3D printing technologies yield models that can serve as product prototypes."

Video: Harvard's Robotic Tentacle Can Lift a Flower Without Crushing It | Popular Science - 0 views

  •  
    " soft robotic tentacles here before, but researchers from Harvard working with the Department of Energy and DARPA have come up with one that they claim is sensitive and nuanced enough to grip and manipulate a flower without breaking it. Their work is detailed in the latest issue of the journal Advanced Materials. Most robot grippers/manipulators work in a very mechanical fashion. That is, they are generally made of solid materials and controlled by various actuators and joints that allow them to assist in tasks like factory manufacturing."

Clay Water Filters for Ghana » Curious Cat Science and Engineering Blog - 0 views

  •  
    "Pure Home Water, Ghana manufactures and distributes AfriClay Filters in an effort to bring clean water to 1 million people. So far they have delivered filters to provide 100,000 people clean water. The process is simple. Water is placed in a clay filter and gravity pulls the water through the pores left in the clay during firing. Sediment and bacteria are filtered out"

The Engineering Design Process - www.TeachEngineering.org - 0 views

  •  
    "The engineering design process is a series of steps that engineering teams use to guide them as they solve problems. Anyone can do it! To determine how to build something (skyscraper, amusement park ride, bicycle, music player), engineers gather information and conduct research to understand the needs of the challenge to be addressed. Then they brainstorm many imaginative possible solutions. They select the most promising idea and embark upon a design that includes drawings, and analytical decisions on the materials and construction, manufacturing and fabrication technologies to use. They create and test many prototypes, making improvements until the product design is good enough to meet their needs. "

Academics Blog » Mechanical Engineering - 0 views

  •  
    "I also chose mechanical engineering because it is a very broad major. Graduating with a MechE degree opens a variety of career paths. Relevant post-grad job topics include cars, airplanes, heating and cooling systems, manufacturing plants, industrial equipment and machinery, robots, medical devices and much more. I like the idea that I was leaving my options open by being a MechE. Last, it seems to me that with the technology advancements and global problems of today, mechanical engineers will be at the forefront of these solutions. I am not positive what I want to do when I graduate, but I am interested in alternative energy, especially wind technology. I like to think I am going to solve the world's energy problems."

Wing Design Competition - 0 views

  •  
    The Kentucky Wing Design Competition (KWDC) competition is sponsored by NASA Kentucky and is intended to provide an introduction to aircraft design. Student teams will design, fabricate, and demonstrate the flight capabilities of a wing to replace the stock Hobbico® NexSTAR™ wing. The goal of the competition is to design and build a high-performance wing, while demonstrating a balance between practical and affordable manufacturing techniques and good flight characteristics. The design objective is to produce a wing that, when mounted on the NexSTAR™ fuselage, has a high payload-to-wing-weight ratio and is efficient for high-speed flight.

Watch Boeing Build A Plane For Southwest - The Consumerist - 0 views

  •  
    "This time-lapse video of a Boeing manufacturing facility is pretty awesome, if you're into watching "how it's made" type stuff or if you like to see sped-up footage of people. I recommend keeping the volume down and making up your own sound effects starting at 1:03, when employees begin to test everything on the plane. "
