Top 5 Articles of 2021
The engineering stories of the past year kept their eyes firmly on the future.
One of the best aspects of engineering is its relentless pursuit of improving on existing systems. Even in years like 2021, where the present and recent past dominate the public mind, engineers were continually working with at least one eye on the future and figuring out how to make it better.
The top stories at ASME.org in 2021 reflected that future-focus. New technologies such as electric vehicles, advanced batteries, or small nuclear reactors are poised to transform society. The pandemic has altered assumptions in how—and where—we work, prompting engineering solutions to meet these new arrangements.
