‘Engineering the Future’ is a documentary series on Curiosity Stream that explores the engineering behind some of the most important technologies that will be critical now and in the...
- Journey to the Center of the Earth. To unlock the terawatt potential of geothermal energy, MIT startup Quaise Energy is testing a deep-drilling rig in 2024 that will use high-power millimeter waves to melt a column of rock down as far as 10 to 20 kilometers.
- “Batteries Included” Induction Ovens. Now we’re cooking with gas—but soon, we may be cooking with induction. A growing number of consumers are switching to induction-based stoves and ovens to address environmental concerns and health risks associated with gas ranges.
- Triage Tech to the Rescue. In the second half of 2024, the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency will begin the first round of its Triage Challenge, a competition to develop sensors and algorithms to support triage efforts during mass-casualty incidents.
- Killer Drones Deployed From the Skies. A new class of missile-firing drones will take to the skies in 2024. Like a three-layer aerial nesting doll, the missile-stuffed drone is itself released from the belly of a bomber while in flight.
Engineering the Future: With David Oyelowo, Patrick Stewart, Gavin Allwright, Arjo van der Ham. An engineering revolution is underway. Driven by dedicated individuals who are building extraordinary machines that will change our lives.

Artificial intelligence is likely to define the decade. It has already begun to increase its footprint in engineering software, where generative design applications automatically optimize CAD designs to best fit the functional definition of a part, including how it will be manufactured. Software vendors are also developing AI systems to advise engi...
While the term “big data” is becoming more mainstream, most applications still run on a relative trickle of data limited to a machine, a factory, or feedback from a fleet of products in the field. That is changing rapidly, thanks to the growing proliferation of the internet of things (IoT) sensors that make it increasingly easier to collect real-ti...
Today, technologies like AI, IoT, big data, 5G, autonomous robots, and blockchain are stand-alone solutions. It is no small task to ensure a variety of IoT sensors can speak with a manufacturing execution system, which is in turn able to talk with a cloud-based data analytics package. That leaves producers with two choices: 1. Find a vendor who pac...
People want more out of their products, and information technology delivers those capabilities. Automobiles are the best example of this trend, looking beyond consumer features—voice-controlled phones and music systems or internet hubs—and considering safety systems. Today’s cars routinely take over braking when a car starts to skid or comes too cl...
“Disruption” may be an overused term, but information technology gives engineers a way to make once-staid products new again. Take, for example, automotive technology. Years ago, who would have imagined that an upstart company like Tesla would be selling upwards of 100,000 cars per quarter and have a stock valuation higher than Toyota, Daimler, or ...
Complexity is inherently unstable—which makes sense because the more degrees of freedom in a system, the greater the chance that something will go wrong. This applies equally to global supply chains, factory complexes, telecommunications systems, and the electrical grid, which is growing even more complicated as it stretches to accommodate such int...
Engineers have traditionally been personally responsible for the projects they worked on. Today, as products have grown more complex, engineers increasingly work in multidisciplinary teams. Further Reading: IoT 2020 Trends for Everyday Consumer Products On any given project, a mechanical engineer might collaborate with: 1. Electrical and electronic...
