Engineers are the problem solvers of life by excellence. Whenever they need to solve a problem by designing a machine, a system, a computer program, etcetera, the team in charge of the task will follow the Engineering Design Process. This process, just like the Scientific Method, involves a series of methodical steps that engineers follow in order to solve a particular problem.…
Climate Engineering, also known as geoengineering, is a field of engineering that aims towards fighting climate change. The ultimate goal of climate engineering is to reverse the impact of greenhouse gases, carbon dioxide, and solar radiation, mainly. Up to this point, climate engineering remains hypothetical, yet research aims at environmental engineering, trying to manipulate the global climate. Several…
Since the implementation of solar energy as an alternative to fossil fuels to generate electrical power, solar engineering has been a difficult and bumpy road for specialists in the field. Even when nowadays seeing solar panel installations on different buildings, from businesses to personal residencies, there are still several challenges that keep solar energy from taking over…
