Interdisciplinary Problem-Solving in Engineering Projects
Rhea Gutigulao1 April, 2026
A city grid strains under rising demand as power fluctuates; infrastructures show signs of fatigue, and environmental thresholds are pushed closer to their limits. In this context, a single perspective cannot fully capture the scope of the system. To better understand its behavior, a civil engineer examines structural stress, an...Read More
4 Takeaways from Exhibits in Engineering Collaboration and Sustainability
Rhea Gutigulao1 April, 2026
Engineering solutions have a greater impact when brought together in a shared space, placed side by side, and examined closely under focused lighting. Within these environments, prototypes operate as working systems with visible components; outputs are displaced in real time, and collaboration unfolds naturally between participants. Through this shared process,...Read More

Engineering Waste into Valuable Resources: Closing the Material Loop
Rhea Gutigulao1 April, 2026
Modern engineering is no longer defined solely by what is built, but by what remains afterwards. As industries face growing demands to lessen the environmental impact, waste is being reconsidered not as something to discard, but as a resource with potential. This move towards circular thinking in engineering presents an...Read More

An Integrated AI Framework for Crop Recommendation
Dr Kumari Gamage, Shadi Youssef and Fouad Zablith25 March, 2026
Despite recent advances in artificial intelligence for agriculture, reliable crop recommendation remains constrained by limited access to soil diagnostics, insufficient integration of environmental context, and the absence of transparent, quantitative evaluation frameworks. This study addresses the research question: How can we integrate multiple indicators to generate accurate, explainable, and context-sensitive...Read More
Noise-Resilient Protection Algorithm in Renewable Integrated Microgrid Based on Zero-Sequence Current Detection, Differential Faulty Energy, VMD, and SVM
Dr Hossein Tafti, Munira Batool and Julius N. Nteh23 March, 2026
The integration of renewable energy sources into microgrids introduces significant challenges in protection, stability, and reliability. Reliable protection of renewable integrated microgrids remains a major challenge due to the presence of harmonics, switching transients, and noise contamination that compromise conventional fault detection schemes. The work in this paper suggests the...Read More
