Vicor, a power system design company, will be presenting at the World Congress Experience 2024 in Detroit. They will be discussing their innovative approach to power conversion for 800V and 48V systems in the automotive industry. As the industry moves towards 48V zonal architectures, engineers are seeking high voltage power conversion solutions with attributes such as power density, weight, and scalability. Vicor's presentations will focus on their new power modules and packaging techniques. [Extracted from the article]

The article presents information on the Fundamentals of Engineering Design course taught at the New Jersey Institute of Technology. The engineering problems are fanciful, but the purpose is to teach students how to design original solutions to biomedical challenges. Richard A. Foulds, an associate professor of biomedical engineering, teaches the course with Bruno Mantilla, a lecturer. Each group of three or four builds a robot out of a Lego Mindstorm kit, which includes plastic building blocks, gears, motors, sensors, and a box with a processor that can be programmed from a personal computer. Usually the students design robots that operate with a combination of programmed actions and remote control by a human operator. Each group then submits several short papers and makes an oral presentation.

Features TAK brand pushpins designed with double prongs and a horseshoe-shaped cavities for better attachment and handling.

The article reports on the completion of mechanical works and associated infrastructure by construction firm Flour Corp. for joint venture between BASF and Petronas Chemicals Group known as BASF Petronas Chemicals. Topics mention including producing aroma ingredients, meeting the demand in flavour and fragrance industry and execution such as for engineering, construction and procurement.

The authors discuss the need to include engineering in learning other science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) subjects. Topics discussed include the role of space exploration in providing students with hands-on engineering experiences, the goal of teachers to adopt engineering design process to develop students' communication and content knowledge, and spacesuit designing.
