Producing fusion energy is a breakthrough, but making it work as a reliable power source requires a reactor that can withstand radiation, sustain their own fuel supply, and manage extreme heat. This article examines three engineering considerations that will determine whether fusion power can move beyond experimental breakthroughs to become...Read More

The Engineering Institute of Technology (EIT) celebrated 32 graduates at Crowne Plaza Melbourne on Friday, September 11, 2026. More than 110 people attended the EIT Melbourne graduation, including graduates, families, friends, EIT staff and special guests.  Graduates travelled from across Australia, New Zealand and the Solomon Islands to attend in...Read More

Moving from a trade to civil engineering can build on years of practical experience. Before enrolling, check the role you want, the qualification it requires, and how study will fit around your working life.  A carpenter may understand how a structure comes together. A plumber may recognize installation challenges that...Read More

An online electrical engineering degree can make study more accessible for working adults. Before enrolling, check how classes, assessments, practical learning, and professional recognition fit your plans.  “Online” does not necessarily mean “part-time” or “study whenever you choose.” For working adults, the details matter: how many hours to set aside,...Read More

A maintenance call runs late. Next week’s roster switches to nights. The evening you planned to work on an assignment disappears.  Studying engineering while working shifts requires more than finding spare hours. Your plan needs to account for live classes, practical work, assessment deadlines and adequate recovery time. Start with...Read More

A master's degree in automation is a sizeable commitment, especially if you are fitting study around a job. Beyond the qualification itself, you need to consider whether the curriculum develops the skills you need, whether the workload is manageable, and how well the course aligns with your career goals.  Perhaps...Read More

Renewable energy generation is expanding across Africa, but getting the power to where it is needed is becoming a growing challenge. As new projects connect to the grid, transmission networks must move larger volumes of power across networks while managing existing capacity constraints. This article features transmission capacity as a...Read More

When a disaster strikes a community, the questions are often straightforward: What was damaged? Which systems remained operational? And what will it take to recover? But for engineering professionals, however, these questions can lead to a broader consideration: what does the recovery process reveal about engineering quality? This article looks...Read More

Sensor-based ore sorting can reduce the rock sent to grinding and wet treatment. The savings depend on mineral response, sorting speed and how much valuable material stays in the processing stream.  A grinding mill uses energy to break rock down, whether that rock contains valuable minerals or very little worth...Read More

An engineering design might meet every requirement today, but will it still perform reliably in 10, 20, or 30 years? From changing operating conditions to component failure and maintenance demands, long-term performance starts with asking the right questions during design. Engineering design involves more than selecting components and completing calculations....Read More
