Engineering Word Of The Day: ARCHIVE

Do scientific research articles sometimes sound like another language? To K-12 students, very often it’s yes. Tanya Dimitrova tried to help solve this problem by founding the Scientific Journal for Kids, where her team of writers, designers, and teachers translates articles from scientific research journals into more kid-friendly language. Learn more about it in the latest episode of The K12 Engineering Education Podcast 🎧 wherever you get your podcasts: https://k12engineering.net/episodes/114

LEDs, or light-emitting diodes, have changed the world – and continue to do so.  This energy-efficient electronics technology came from decades of design and discovery in engineering. Dr. Russell Dupuis is one of the engineers behind LEDs, and he recently was one of five winners of the Queen Elizabeth Prize for Engineering for his work in this technology. Dr. Dupuis explains his contribution to creating thin-film electronics necessary for LEDs, starting from his university days in Illinois, and he also discusses its implications for the future.  He currently is a professor of electrical engineering at Georgia Tech.  This is a joint episode with The K12 Engineering Education Podcast and Engineering Word Of The Day.
