Training the neural networks—the complex AI algorithms—that safely steer autonomous vehicles requires testing them against millions of rare driving anomalies, a process that demands massive cloud computing budgets. How can software engineering depart...
With students using tools like Copilot and ChatGPT for nearly every programming assignment, it is becoming increasingly difficult to gauge who actually understands the underlying logic and who is simply auto-completing their way through a script. Whi...
As semiconductor complexity scales, the demand for career-ready graduates skilled in hardware description languages (HDLs) and electronic design automation (EDA) software has intensified. How are departments navigating the high licensing costs of ind...
As no-code platforms allow non-technical users to build complex applications, the role of the computer scientist is shifting. Should CS departments focus more on underlying theory and logic rather than specific language syntax to keep graduates relev...
While the sustainability of software gets some attention, the physical environmental cost of infrastructure hardware–for example, server farms and the rare-earth mining required to build and maintain much of current day tech infrastructure–is stagger...
The rapid expansion of Internet of Things (IoT) devices is forcing a shift in architecture from centralized cloud processing to edge computing to reduce latency and bandwidth consumption. Will the move toward decentralized processing inherently make ...
As consumer products become increasingly software-defined, manufacturers often use proprietary code to restrict third-party repairs and hardware modifications. Does the engineering community have a professional obligation to design for open modularit...
Engineering firms are under immense pressure to adopt circular economy principles, yet many undergraduate programs still prioritize traditional linear design due to the efficiency gap—the extra time and cost required for deconstructable material scie...
Cornell researchers just revealed a technique called electron ptychography that allows us to see atomic-scale flaws ("mouse bites") inside 3D transistors for the first time.For decades, software engineers have treated hardware as a perfect abstractio...
Context: Research breakthroughs this year have propelled Sodium-ion batteries into the mainstream. Unlike lithium, sodium is abundant (it's in salt!) and safer. This week, we saw the launch of the Engineering+ Sustainability Institute at UC Irvine, f...
