A dialysis machine that can treat kidney patients in the home, precision agriculture through vertical farming and transformative electron scanning microscopy are vying to be named the UK’s leading engineering innovation of 2022.

Royal Academy of Engineering highlights that misconceptions about engineers and lack of understanding of the profession means young people are missing opportunities to make a difference to our world. New research1 has revealed that 76% of young people aged 11 to 19 do not know a lot about what people working in engineering do.

A five year engineering research project is set to extend the application of electric technology to a wider range of aircraft.

New fibre-optic lasers that can deliver high-power beams efficiently over long distances are to be developed by the Royal Academy of Engineering Research Chair at the University of Southampton, with support from SPI Lasers.  

A report published by the Royal Academy of Engineering shows that fewer than half of engineering graduates go into professional engineering jobs. The research in Pathways to success in engineering degrees and careers also shows that students who study engineering at post-1992 universities are just as likely to get professional engineering jobs as those from Russell Group and other pre-1992 universities. In some cases, post-1992 students are, in f...
