Thank goodness for Google maps, right? This technology makes it possible to track where you are in the world and where you’re going. But while such mapping tools are common and convenient, the science behind them isn’t as easy as typing in an address. Land surveyors and survey monuments make it possible to keep track [...]
Pigs aren’t just farm animals or crispy snacks. In water treatment, the term “pig” refers to a piece of equipment inserted into a pipe to clean and inspect pipelines.

Exciting opportunities lie ahead for women who are interested in engineering. These days, it’s becoming more common to see women in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) professions. But women weren’t always so prevalent in these fields.
