The Value of Engineering in Critical Times

Coronavirus has confronted us with innumerable challenges. Some of them were already on the plate and are now urgent objectives to achieve. The lack of engineers, for instance, is a reality and weighs more heavily in times of crisis.

Le projet MODSIR19*, porté par le CHRU de Nancy et Mines Nancy – Des outils pour comprendre, surveiller et anticiper une épidémie

Le projet MODSIR19, porté par le CHRU de Nancy et Mines Nancy, école d’ingénieurs de l’Université de Lorraine, s’inscrit dans le cadre de la crise sanitaire du Covid19.

Cet outil de simulation, à visée pédagogique, a pour but de montrer les principaux facteurs influents sur une épidémie, et d’en visualiser les effets sur un graphe.

Engenheiros e profissionais de saúde de Brasília criam respirador mecânico

Um grupo de engenheiros, médicos e fisioterapeutas de Brasília desenvolveu um respirador mecânico de baixo custo e agora pretende disponibilizar o equipamento em grande escala. Eles não têm fins lucrativos com o projeto e pedem ajuda política para realizar os trâmites burocráticos de aprovação do produto o mais rápido possível.

ASME Studies the Impact of COVID-19 on Engineering

The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) is conducting an ongoing study tracking how COVID-19 is impacting the ASME community and engineering organizations. The first phase of the survey had close to 3,000 responses. This video highlights some of the responses and the ways the pandemic is changing how engineers work.

Academy maps out engineering challenges for recovery from COVID-19

In a briefing published today, the Royal Academy of Engineering highlights the key engineering-related risks and opportunities that COVID-19 poses for the UK beyond the immediate crisis response, drawing on the expertise of Academy Fellows and its partners in the National Engineering Policy Centre, who collectively represent 450,000 engineers across the UK.

Engineers are some of the hidden heroes of the COVID-19 pandemic

What would our shelter-in-place COVID-19 experiences be like in Canada without engineering technology advancements such as smart phones, Zoom, Amazon or Netflix? What would the mortality outcomes of COVID-19 be without technology advances in health care that have allowed us to decode the novel Coronavirus genome in a month, access geospatial information systems to help pinpoint areas of infection and the use of ventilators to treat critical patients?

Engineers supporting children’s learning during COVID-19 lockdown

Engineering professionals across the UK are supporting both primary and secondary pupils learning via fascinating online interviews during the COVID-19 lockdown. The ‘If you were an engineer, what would you do?’ competition, known as the Leaders Award and run by Primary Engineer, is offering pupils from 3 through to 19 the opportunity to join online interviews with engineering professionals and then identify a problem in the world and design a solution to it as a home project.

From modeling disease spread to the hunt for a vaccine, COVID-19 spurs engineers to prove anew that necessity is the mother of invention.

Well into April, the United States fought the highly contagious coronavirus with one hand tied behind its back, lacking a reliable treatment, short of basic personal protective equipment like masks and hospital gowns, and shifting ventilators among hospitals and between states to keep severely ill patients breathing. A vaccine was at best months away. Perhaps most crucially, the country lacked knowledge: How was the virus changing, and how would interventions, such as quarantines, affect the spread of a mutating pathogen?
