…women pursuing careers in science, technology, engineering or mathematics (STEM), the company says. LogicMonitor is accepting applications for the Women in STEM Scholarship now until March 31, 2021. Despite making up roughly 50% of the workforce, women hold less than 30% of STEM jobs, and men vastly outnumber women majoring in most STEM fields at the higher education level. The LogicMonitor Women in STEM Scholarship seeks to break the gender gap disparity by providing financial support to women seeking careers in STEM, company says. One candidate will receive $6,000 as a result of this scholarship for the 2021 academic year.…

…over whether predictive maintenance delivers measurable benefits. This doubt stems largely from companies that have difficulty determining what kind of ROI they will see from investing in the application and are unsure whether they have the proper amount of equipment failure data or even the right data to achieve a functional algorithm. Often predictive maintenance has been mislabeled as a “black box” solution, in which an application receives operational data from equipment and uses an algorithm to somehow predict the remaining useful life of a machine. But this is an inaccurate representation as it neglects the role domain knowledge plays…

…President Maria Klawe is speaking on boosting diversity in STEM education at the upcoming CAASE20 virtual conference, coproduced by DE.) “It's important for us to provide laboratory experiences because they are a formative part of engineering education,” said Spencer. “It's much harder when the students don't have access to the hardware we usually use to do it. For this lockdown, Spencer's remedy for the robotic class was a portable Arduino kit students can take home. “It has a very short learning curve, and the connections on the board are already connected, so the students don't have to solder anything, which…

…designs, a “Laser Welding Head” and a “Hip Implants Stem Design,” are use cases of industrial 3D metal printing. In the student category the first prize went to Younes Chahid from BiometicAM based in the United Kingdom with his Hip Implant Stem design. This unctional application improves patients’ lives by shortening operation times as well as recovery times. The design of the structure is fully optimized with varying lattice densities and thicknesses for optimal bone ingrowth. The part can only be produced using metal additive manufacturing and in addition, is designed to print without supports, capable for being nested to…

…by Younes Chahid from BiomimeticAM with the Hip Implant Stem Design, from the University of Huddersfield (UK). With this redesign of the hip implant stem, issues with implant revision surgeries and bone resorption could be greatly improved. The new design of the hip implant stem has many such features including density and thickness distribution optimization to reduce the stress shielding and increase osseointegration. The team SCUT Robotlab from South China University of Technology (China) improved the stabilizer mount on the robot for the RoboMaster competition, a key component which connects the mobile system with the upper projectile system. The original…
