The 2024 event recognized women who served as computer scientists, mathematicians, and engineers for their service in advancing America’s space exploration efforts.
Each month throughout the year, we spotlight a different SWE Affinity Group. In this post from the First-Generation Students and Professionals AG, Mariel Cisneros reflects on her experience as a first-generation graduate and engineer.
Photo of the Day A mere 56 million light-years distant toward the southern constellation Fornax, NGC 1365 is an enormous barred spiral galaxy about 200,000 light-years in diameter. That's twice the size of our own barred spiral Milky Way. This sharp image from the James Webb Space Telescope's Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) reveals stunning details [...]
Photo of the Day What created an unusual dark streak in Comet Tsuchinshan-Atlas's tail? Some images of the bright comet during mid-October not only caught its impressively long tail and its thin anti-tail, but a rather unexpected feature: a dark streak in the long tail. The reason for the dark streak is currently unclear [...]
Photo of the Day The largest canyon in the Solar System cuts a wide swath across the face of Mars. Named Valles Marineris, the grand valley extends over 3,000 kilometers long, spans as much as 600 kilometers across, and delves as much as 8 kilometers deep. By comparison, the Earth's Grand Canyon in Arizona, [...]
Learning on Coursera adds flexibility to the Berkeley Engineering experience.
Each month throughout the year, we'll be spotlighting a SWE Affinity Group. We are excited to highlight SWE's Military & Veterans Affinity Group!
In this podcast episode, first-generation engineers reflect on the complexities of navigating two cultures, the importance of building strong networks, and the unique strengths they bring to the workplace.
Photo of the Day Comet Tsuchinshan-Atlas is now headed back to the outer Solar System. The massive dusty snowball put on quite a show during its trip near the Sun, resulting in many impressive pictures from planet Earth during October. The featured image was taken in mid-October and shows a defining visual feature of [...]
Photo of the Day Why were the statues on Easter Island built? No one is sure. What is sure is that over 900 large stone statues called moais exist there. The Rapa Nui (Easter Island) moais stand, on average, over twice as tall as a person and have over 200 times as much mass. [...]
