Model-based systems engineering is quietly, but consistently, becoming an important part of the design, maintenance, and cybersecurity of the federal government’s most complex IT platforms. MBSE ...

One hundred rods, customs, and classic trucks were chosen by the editors of this magazine in the Turtle Wax/STREET RODDER Top 100 program. Photos of all of them were posted on our website, and five of ...

Today’s electronic systems are an increasingly complex combination of hardware and software components. They contain an ever-expanding range of functions, require more computing power, have to operate ...

As heterogenous integration increases design complexity and forces engineers out of long-standing silos, model-based systems engineering (MBSE) is becoming essential for improving quality and reducing ...

In this video, we build a fully detailed mini V8 engine model using precision milling and turning techniques. Every part—from the tiny pistons to the crankshaft—is custom-machined and assembled with ...
