Many Women Leave Engineering, Blaming Work Culture Over the course of three years, Nadya Fouad, a psychologist at the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, surveyed 5,300 women who earned engineering degrees within the past six decades in order to figure out why so few stayed in engineering. Fouad reported that only 62 percent of respondents were currently working in engineering. Those who left the field provided their reasons for doing so in the survey. http://www.npr.org/blogs/alltechconsidered/2014/08/12/339638726/many-women-leave-engineering-blame-the-work-culture #womenwednesday #engineering http://click-to-read-mo.re/p/8RK1/52acf39c

STEM Education Matters to Our National Security, Innovation and World Leadership Over the last 230 years, the United States became a global leader, in large part, through the genius and hard work of its scientists, engineers and innovators. Today, a little over four percent of the workforce is employed directly in science, engineering and technology. Yet, this small group of workers is critical to economic innovation and productivity. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/michele-nashhoff/stem-education-matters_b_5610942.html #STEM #education #nationalsecurity #innovation #leadership http://click-to-read-mo.re/p/8RoI/52acf39c

How Visuals Can Help Deaf Children 'Hear' The Cooper Union in New York City is combining engineering and acoustics to create a unique learning environment for deaf and hearing-impaired schoolchildren. The college has installed an interactive light studio at the American Sign Language and English Lower School in New York City. The studio, comprising a 270-square-foot space, is equipped with a wall-mounted digital-projection system that works in conjunction with specially designed computer programs to display entertaining images and graphics on an interactive screen. The pre-kindergarten children using Cooper Union's interactive light studio learn through their interactions with the moving images and light pulses, the displays enable the kids to actually understand the intricacies of sound, despite their hearing impairments. http://news.yahoo.com/visuals-help-deaf-children-hear-182413749.html #deaf #hearing #deafness #children http://click-to-read-mo.re/p/8R93/52acf39c

What Tiny Drones Can Learn from Hummingbirds In a new study, researchers at Stanford University's Bio-Inspired Research and Design (BIRD) lab compared the flight of 12 different species of hummingbird with that of a Black Hornet Nano, one of the world's smallest drones. Despite the sparrow-sized surveillance drone's extremely efficient flying, it still can't match the best of the hummingbird species tested, the Calypte anna, the findings suggest. http://news.yahoo.com/tiny-drones-learn-hummingbirds-135456618.html #drones #engineering #hummingbirds http://click-to-read-mo.re/p/8QxM/52acf39c

Black Hat Security Conference Talk Cancelled Attendees of the Black Hat security conference were looking forward to finding out next month how the average person can identify people using Tor, a browser that masks the identity of users so people can do things like buy and sell drugs online and communicate privately without fear of people intercepting their chats and emails. http://readwrite.com/2014/07/22/black-hat-tor-talk-pulled http://click-to-read-mo.re/p/8PHV/52acf39c

The new lift technology that will let cities soar far higher When Frank Lloyd Wright sketched out his Mile High Skyscraper in 1956, it was four times taller than the Empire State Building, the tallest building at the time. Such was Wright’s faith in the technologies of modernity, foremost among them, steel frame construction and elevators, that he naturally presumed the challenges of this extreme height could be overcome. #science #engineering http://www.theguardian.com/cities/2014/aug/01/new-lift-technology-ultrarope-cities http://click-to-read-mo.re/p/8Pvf/52acf39c

Here's Why 3-D Printing Is Still A Niche Product In Enterprise There’s been a lot of buzz around 3-D printing lately, with some tech luminaries even calling it the next industrial revolution. But a recent report by Tech Pro Research suggests there’s still a long way to go, at least in the enterprise sector, according to ZDNet. http://www.businessinsider.com/3-d-printing-a-niche-product-in-enterprise-2014-8 http://click-to-read-mo.re/p/8Pgf/52acf39c
