• Opinion: Are Foldable Phones Isolating UX?

  

  The fanfare of major events like Apple Event’s or Samsung Direct has become synonymous with big tech unveilings of new flagship devices for major manufacturers. EIT Journalist, Adriaan Roets, shares his thoughts on one of the latest topical releases.

  New products that seem odd upon unveiling often become more sensical later. AirTags, upon announcement in 2021, seemed daft to me because surely, its function was somewhat overly unnecessary and could remain tech-free.

  We’ve survived so long without it, and it seemed like a product that is almost like a tech intrusion on daily life.

• Reverse Engineering: It’s Not About Going Retro but Finding Solutions

  

  Paper. Something that has been around for thousands of years is getting reverse engineering treatment to help save the planet.

  At the helm of the operation is trained electrical engineer Mahbub Sumon from Narayanganj, Bangladesh. 

  In 2018, he and three friends founded Shalbrikhkho and started their first project to create eco-friendly paper that gives back to the earth. 

  They dubbed their creation, Bonkagoj, a bio-friendly product with embedded seeds that will sprout when the paper is discarded or ends up in a landfill.

• Artificial Intelligence – A Considered Approach

  

  Dear Colleagues

  In recent years, Artificial Intelligence (and Machine Learning) has been touted as the panacea for process plants: using instrumentation to gather the data and automated systems to effect improvements to the operations. There have been huge advances and some great successes, but maintaining a healthy cynicism is essential.

  Machine learning is certainly one of the most exciting technologies in recent times. Both large and small companies have embraced it with tremendous results.

• How Online Study Helped an EIT Graduate Further His Career

  

  Skilled Engineer and EIT Graduate, Daniel Baidoo, enjoys solving complex problems.

  However, one problem he never had to solve was studying while working full time. The two worlds just melded together in the end, and it is something he believes gave him an advantage professionally.

  Studying EIT’s 52882WA - Advanced Diploma in Electrical and Instrumentation (E&I) Engineering for Oil and Gas Facilities allowed Daniel to bring his course knowledge to his workplace, and he couldn’t be happier.

• How 3D Printing Is Changing the World

  

  From schools to pedestrian safety, 3D printing is playing a role in education. In rural Malawi, going to school is not simple. Long walks with no reliable transport coupled with the lack of infrastructure create a scenario where dropping out of school is common. Now, 3D printing is changing that.

  According to the Thomson Reuters Foundation, a newly established 3D classroom in the village of Salima in central Malawi is showing that 3D Printing is finally gaining its footing as an important part of infrastructure development, and education in the country.
