RESEARCH ON EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES
The process is ongoing, and lifelong, as I discover and research the new technological breakthroughs that emerge every day. I am also looking for technologies that cross-pollinate; they function together. Continually collated and updated DAILY, these files include extensive downloaded articles and raw transcripts of up-to-date information. The Emerging Tech files are a good start to any research.
Professional industrial designers, mechanical engineers, and students fortunate enough to pursue a career in those fields produce forecasts of future technology when they engage in the product or transportation design process. The more information they have on current research advances and emerging technology, the more they can imagine and engineer what will soon be possible, what is on the horizon. That is the true occupational description of the design engineer.
