Engineering Salaries and Jobs Keep Expanding - Mostly
This year – as we look at new Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) for engineering salaries – we’re comparing salaries to last year’s numbers. We’re also passing along the number of projected engineering jobs for each discipline. Most engineering disciplines saw year-over-year growth in average salaries except for Materials Engineers and Mining Engineers who saw slight decreases in average salaries. The BLS projects growth in all engineering jobs through the middle of the next decade.
Choosing the Best Advanced Precision Motor for Robotics and Automation
Frameless BLDC motor designs like Sensata’s model DIP34 allow for the motor to be fully integrated within a given assembly. (Image source: Sensata) People have been improving industrial processes since the first factories harnessed water and wind. Manufacturing means motion, and engineers have tried to improve industrial processes using every technology at their disposal—from motion-efficiency studies in human workers to advanced management paperwork systems.
Manufacturing Day Spotlights a Robust Sector
This year, Manufacturing Day comes at a time when the sector is absorbing a wide range of new technology. Manufacturing has been transformed in just a few short years by technology leaps that include: the Internet of Things; affordable human-friendly robotics; autonomous mobile robots; 3D printing that is finally production-ready; predictive maintenance; and Big Data analytics.
Engineering Salaries and Jobs Keep Growing
Time to review engineering salaries. This year, as we look at new Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) data for engineering salaries, we’re comparing salaries to last year’s numbers. We’re also passing along the number of projected engineering jobs for each discipline. BLS projects growth in engineering jobs through the next decade. For the engineering profession as a whole, BLS projects 139,300 new jobs during the coming 10 years. The total number of current engineering jobs is 1,681,000.
Should Your Industrial Plant Rent or Purchase Compressed Air Equipment?
The idea of renting compressed air equipment is catching on quickly. In fact, industry research released by Technavio says the global compressor rental market is expected to generate approximately $4 billion USD by 2020.
Brand New “You Might Be an Engineer” Entries
Ok, it’s time to get semi original with “You Might Be an Engineer If” sayings. Some of these are Design News original sayings, some have been gathered from the comments sections of UBM websites, and some are gems we haven’t used—but were too good to pass up. The last slide on this list answers the questions from last month’s collection, You Might Be an Engineer If.
Google Created AIs That Can Teach and Program Themselves
Two new projects from Google are leading the way toward AI that can learn on its own and even create its own algorithms. With only a little over a year having passed since Google's AI AlphaGo beat world champions at Go, it is no longer the smartest AI in classroom. Google has developed a new AI, AlphaGO Zero, that is better at Go than its predecessor (beating it 100-0 in head-on matches). But what's truly impressive is that it did it all by teaching itself.
