10 Life Hacks Every Engineering Student Needs to Master

As an engineering student, you will most likely be using up most of your time studying and trying to pass your subjects. This leaves you with minimal time with other things, like cooking, doing your laundry, etc. That’s why we are presenting you with some life hacks that will help your engineering life a bit easier.

#1 If the temperature in your dorm room is rising and you don’t have a cooling fan, or by some chance you don’t have electricity, hang a damp towel in front of an open window. It’s important to make sure your room is conducive for learning, so make sure your room is at a healthy temperature. Source: Blogspot

 #2 If you want to have loud music for a change but don’t have enough money to buy a high-end speaker, use what you’ve learned in your physics or engineering acoustics class and make one yourself. Source: OSX Daily

 #3 Do you have a difficult time getting out of bed? Place your phone into an empty glass before you sleep. This will create and echo chamber effect and makes the sound by a few decibels. You’ll never miss an alarm again.

#4 Want to heat two bowls in a microwave? Here’s how. Source: Study International

 #5 Use the theory of supercooling when you want to chill your warm drinks instantly. Cover your beer/soda bottle with a damp tissue paper and pop it in the fridge, it’ll get chilled in just a few minutes. Source: Imgur

 #6 When you’re giving a presentation in class, tell a friend to ask a particular question beforehand. By doing so, you’ll already know the answer. Read more What Not to Do When Engineers are Faced With Conflict at Work Source: Giphy

 #8 If you’re stomped with a really difficult concept you have to research about but have very little time left. Go to Google and type in the subject matter & filetype:ppt. You’ll get free lecture PowerPoints Source: Study International

 #9 Forgot your textbook? Once again, go to Google and type the name of the textbook + filetype:pdf. You’ll be able to search the web for online copies. Source: Study International

Team Work - Meaning and Tips for better Team Work

A single brain is not always capable of making key decisions on its own. To come up with an efficient solution, an individual requires the help and advice of others. A team is established when individuals get together on a common platform with the common goal of completing a task. To guarantee optimum compatibility, team members should ideally come from similar backgrounds and have a single aim. To provide their best, the team members must complement each other and function as a single unit in tight cooperation. "There is no I in Team Work," as the saying goes, and each member must put the needs of his team first. Personal interests must take a second seat. Any team's performance is directly proportionate to the relationship between its members and their combined efforts. What is the definition of teamwork? Teamwork is defined as the sum of each team member's efforts toward the fulfilment of the team's goal. In other words, any team's backbone is its ability t

Scientists discover a new theory / The fundamental property of light – 150 years after Maxwell

Light plays a vital role in our everyday lives and technologies based on light are all around us. So we might expect that our understanding of light is pretty settled. But scientists have just uncovered a new fundamental property of light that gives new insight into the 150-year-old classical theory of electromagnetism and which could lead to applications manipulating light at the nanoscale. It is unusual for a pure-theory physics paper to make it into the journal Science. So when one does, it’s worth a closer look. In the new study, researchers bring together one of physics' most venerable set of equations – those of James Clerk’s Maxwell’s famous theory of light – with one of the hot topics in modern solid-state physics: the quantum spin Hall effect and topological insulators . To understand what the fuss is about, let’s first consider the behaviour of electrons in the quantum spin Hall effect. Electrons possess an intrinsic spin as if they were tiny spinning-tops,
