Welding Engineering is a sophisticated engineering discipline that extends far beyond the visual spectacle of arcs and sparks. This field encompasses elements of materials science, metallurgy, lasers, design, inspection, quality assurance, and the integration of mechanical, electrical, and electronic systems. Welding engineers are specialists in material joining, leveraging extensive knowledge of physics, engineering principles, metallurgy, …
The electrification of vehicles has been a driving force in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and improving energy efficiency, particularly in on-road transportation. While electric vehicles (EVs) for passenger and commercial on-road fleets are gaining traction, the off-road equipment sector is lagging behind. The slower transition in this sector can be attributed to the diverse range …
Climate change is one of the most pressing issues facing humanity today. It refers to significant alterations in weather patterns over extended periods, primarily due to the increased concentration of greenhouse gases. It affects natural ecosystems and communities worldwide. In the context of engineering, climate change presents both challenges and opportunities for innovation. It is …
The state of farm mechanization in many African countries is deplorable and it is one of the main reasons for food insecurity in many parts of the continent. Amongst small scale farmers, access to farm mechanization services is low because of the high cost of largely imported agricultural machinery and equipment. Yet, a good fraction …
The Environmental and Biosystems Engineering Students Association (EBESA) hosted a Career Talk on Thursday, 28th March 2024, at the University of Nairobi’s Upper Kabete campus. The event, which was sponsored by KeSEBAE, aimed to facilitate engagement between students and industry stakeholders, providing insights into career prospects post-graduation. It featured two distinguished Fellows of KeSEBAE from …
