What future might bring us to: 

Spray on solar panels (The usual is expensive and tricky to install. This spray on uses solar ink and being applied using spray gun at your windows, doors and roofs, turning them into power-generating panels.)

Smart homes (Intel's Home Dashboard uses Wi-Fi to communicate with home appliances to detect which sucks the most electricity. And adjustments can be made via internet or smartphone from anywhere anytime to control them. Extra additions on finger-operated apps that enable you to control security system or leave video messages for your housemates when you're at home.)

Cool house (Cheaper way to cool your home with a wall panel using microscopic paraffin wax capsules. When hot, it melts and absorbs heat. When cold, it solidifies and warm the room by releasing heat.)

Four-day working week (Utah, US shows that workers who received the same salary prefers 4 longer days than 5 shorter ones and called in sick less. Not just that, by practicing that millions of dollar can be saved as it cuts off the amount of traveling. This trend is expected to grow.)

Cheap, More Sensitive Cancer Detector 

Thanks to 15 years old teenager, Jack Andraka who invented way cheaper, more sensitive, most wanted invention by pancreatic cancer patients, instead of wasting hundreds of dollars on unreliable test available at the hospitals, which statistically speaking 30% of cancer patients were diagnosed to be cleaned. In addition, more than 80 percent of pancreatic cancer is diagnosed late, when the survival rate is around two percent. 

There is story behind the start of the invention and the success of this teenager. The death of his close family friend who died of pancreatic cancer triggered his journey.

Simple steps and only few elements needed to detect the cancer. Inexpensive strips of filter paper, carbon nanotubes and antibodies sensitive to mesothelin, a protein found in high levels in people with pancreatic cancer. When dipped in blood or urine, the mesothelin adheres to these antibodies and is detectable by predictable changes in the nanotubes’ electrical conductivity.

More points to go with.

Provide testimonials ( Just references at the end of CV is too common, put an extra page at the end of it with testimonials written by your past employers if you have job experience, mentioning your performance)

Hand deliver your resume ( Consider handing your resume directly to the employer, as this creates in-person interactions as well as displaying first impression)

Provide sample design document ( Presenting portfolio of your work. Prepare sample design plan from recent project and present it briefly during the interview. Another case is, prepare sample problem similar to the employer's project, solve it and present it)

Well truth story to be told. I have submitted my CV last month to like what, more than 10 companies in Malaysia to do an intern for next January. None of them replied. Positively thinking that they might need interns ASAP and another side of me thinks that I need to modify my CV. So here are some tips I gained from a website (engineering.com).

Know the target company (do some researches on the company, understand the company's values, mission, their strategic direction and over-riding goals and objectives)

Think outside the box (focus on the modules you have learned during your degree, master or phd. State how are you gonna be exceled in the work made available by the company by applying what was learned)

Work for that specific company, show your interest (for example, state there you are wiling to work for the company at minimum wage and re-apply for the position available with the experience you have gained)

Virtual and augmented reality to life. The users are capable of fully experiencing 3d holographic projections in front of them. 

The glass consists of two microprojectors attached to it, tracking camera and AR & VR clip-on. Other devices that come with it are "Magic Wand", controller that lets the user to position things in space by controlling then with a one hand joystick and "RFID Tracking Grid", to identify, track and augment physical objects across the surface.  

Physical characteristics:

Weigh <100 grams, slightly heavier than normal sunglasses

Can be placed on top of prescription glasses

Dedicated for Lamborghini owners and dreamers. Topless Lambho Veneno is on its way next year. Sounds sexy wait until you lay your eyes on it, drooling. As a start, I'm gonna shower you with heart-stopper pictures on every angle of it.

BOOM!

Not going to lie, but my heart beats as fast as it goes, from 0 to 60 mph in 2.9 seconds. Up to maximum 220 mph. The price gone up from $ 4.1mil to $5.3mil with the fact that topless models have historically retained value better that their hard topped counterparts over the long run.

Well this time, it appears to be less exclusive as 9 topless Venenos will be produced, where the original one had a total run of three.  

So you may ask, why is it always Eiffel Tower when it comes to 3D printing? Why not something else? Or maybe other buildings? 

3D printing of it catches manufacturers and designers attentions, even the casual enthusiasts. 

Lets go into the designer's head for this 3D printing model. Few points to break through, in term of architecture and engineering point of view.

The reasons why Eiffel Tower is chosen:

Elegant representation of engineer's capabilities

What amaze them physically? scaffold structure and symmetrical curves

Capability of showing skills in CAD modelling

Capability of enhancing better architecture for the tower
