The new edition of the RS Components magazine, eTech, will feature an article I wrote. The abstract is as follows:

Developments in recent years suggest that we may be on the cusp of an engineering renaissance. Significant advances are being made in key areas such as tools, technology, principles and methodologies, and at the nexus of which is an ever growing desire and ability to engage in engineering practices.

It should be available from the RS website and via their iPad app later this week. In the meantime it can be found on their community website, DesignSpark.
