The OnCampus program, administered by IEEE Educational Activities, last year expanded its engineering experiences from two to seven universities.
Part of TryEngineering, the program is held at universities around the world, offering preuniversity students hands-on opportunities to solve engineering problems.
The IEEE Innovation Committee provided funding for the additional locations.

Silk isn't just great as a smooth fabric for luxurious clothing: it's finding a wide range of uses in everything from edible food-preserving wrappers to skin-friendly wearable health monitoring sensors. There's plenty of scope to enhance its characteristics too, and a simple new approach has allowed it to get about as tough as Kevlar.

A new paper in _Nature Communications_ , covered by Ian Sample at the Guardian, claims a single 25mg dose may leave behind anatomical changes in the wiring itself, still visible 30 days on.
Researchers at UC San Francisco and Imperial College London recruited 28 psychedelic-naive adults and gave each of them a token 1mg primer, then a full 25mg session a month later. — Read the rest

Frequent burn exposure may have driven human genetic adaptations that improve healing but worsen severe injury outcomes. Humans may have been shaped in part by an unexpected force: repeated exposure to high-temperature burn injuries. New research suggests this long history has influenced how the body repairs damage, responds to infection, and reacts under severe trauma. [...]
O guitarrista Glenn Tipton, do Judas Priest, anunciou a doação de £250 mil (cerca de R$ 1,7 milhão) ao Imperial College London, por meio da Fundação Glenn Tipton para Parkinson, com o objetivo de ampliar pesquisas voltadas ao tratamento da doença. Diagnosticado com Parkinson em 2015, Tipton criou a fundação a partir de recursos arrecadados […]
MVK Chari,**** a pioneer in finite element field computation, died on 3 December. The IEEE Life Fellow was 97.
Chari developed a finite element method (FEM) for analyzing nonlinear electromagnetic fields—which is crucial for the design of electric machines. The technique is used to obtain approximate solutions to complex engineering and mathematical problems. It involves dividing a…
