Engineering & Technology for a Sustainable World

Features

Tractor Pull Builds More than Machines
A university student's perception of a recent engineering design competition illustrates how contests can teach participants the value of teamwork and other life lessons not learned in the classroom.

Flow Meters Focus on Durability
As technology advances to change the way machines and systems measure water flow, some manufacturers are opting to improve traditional methods.

Sludge Effects on Land: A Case for Caution
Recycling non-farm waste for agricultural use could be a worthy goal. But the effects on public and environmental health and agricultural soils should also be considered.

Studying Earth's Structure
Prospecting for oil reservoirs could be one possible use for researching how sources outside the planet may determine depth, density and elastic wave velocities.

Last Word (reader opinion) - Solutions for Conservation
The new Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP) is an adaptable environmental enrichment effort focusing on the specific needs of a state or area. The CREP allows federal, state and local governments to work with farmers, ranchers and landowners to establish acceptable conservation practices. The goal is to combine and leverage the expertise and resources of public/private partnerships to help today's farm families achieve a balance between demands on nature and the need to feed and clothe the world.
