Michigan National Guard's 1431st Engineer Company (Sappers) is in Germany conducting joint training exercises with our State Partnership Program counterpart, Latvia.
For the sixth consecutive year, engineers and staff from Pima County’s Transportation Department will teach kids how to make asphalt cookies during the “Discovering Engineering at the Mall” event on Saturday, Feb. 20 from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. The event, held at Foothills Mall, 7401 N. La Cholla Blvd., brings together engineers from across the region to increase awareness and appreciation for the profession as part of Engineers Week, Feb. 21-27.
For background, I am a military engineer and the engineer castle is a commonly used symbol of military engineers. The castle used in the US is derived from the US Army Corps of Engineers and it has since proliferated into other branches and nations’ engineer corps. On of the more interesting versions I have seen is a Japanese-style pagoda engineer castle used by a Japanese engineer unit.
I have been thinking about how to build a worthy version of the engineer castle out of LEGO for a few years, and then one day I saw a build using cheese wedges turned vertically on a stud-faced brick combined with a hinge plate to create 45°-angled wall corners. This is when I had a “no kidding” moment and my idea finally evolved into something interesting. However, I ended up moving again and the idea was shelved for a few more years until last March. That is when I finally downloaded Stud.io and started exploring its capabilities, as I had only used LDD previously. It was not long before I imported my castle files, and over the next two weeks I started crafting the design, building small section mockups to test the building techniques. I luckily had about half of the parts on hand, but I put off buying the rest of the parts until this past December; they all arrived in January, and completed the build in early February. One of my favorite details is the inclusion of the various engineer tools and capabilities represented on the back side.
As a LEGO hobbyist and as a combat engineer, I am excited about the build as a whole and being able to see a digital design transition into actual bricks was extremely satisfying, and I of course had a great time building this. Enjoy.

Taken in the Parc des Buttes Chaumont.
The park, a public garden, was created through Baron Haussmann's development of Paris; a former quarry was developed by engineer Jean-Charles Alphand (1817-91), horticulturist Jean-Pierre Barillet-Deschamps (1824-73), and architect Gabriel Davioud (1824-81). Work was commissioned by Emperor Napoleon III in 1860, and opened for the Universal Exhibition in 1867.
IT ENGINEERING: WHAT IS IT?
Information technologies are omnipresent, yet IT engineering remains a mystery to many. To most people, an IT engineer is a wizard behind the screen who makes sure computers work smoothly. To an extent, they might be right, but there is much more to the vocation than just installing a firewall and updating the OS. Read More...
I seen a similar pic online and decided I wanted to try it and put my own spin on it.
The ring is my Engineers ring, given to BASc students in Canada when they graduate University. The book is actually my electric motors textbook from probably 14 years(!) ago
This smiling military engineer was handing out bracelets at the Rotary Day parade as part of the recruiting center contingent.
Very impressed with how this one turned out. Could very well be a publicity photo for the smiling face of the Canadian Forces.
Northern class operated by AT & SF Railroad and made by the Baldwin Locomotive Company in 1944. Because of wartime restrictions some of the parts were heavier to offset the lack of high-tensile alloys. As a result of the substitutions, these locomotives became the heaviest passenger locomotives ever built. Retired in 1959. [credit]
GALVESTON, Texas (June 9, 2016) – The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Galveston District celebrated the Corps’ and U.S. Army’s 241st birthday with an awards ceremony to recognize the STEM Volunteer, Innovator, Employee, Engineer, Regulator and Supervisor of the Year, induct a USACE Galveston District retiree into the Gallery of Distinguished Civilian Employees as well as to honor staff for their contributions to the community, state and nation.
The Soldiers of 2D Engineer Brigade returned home to their Families from a seven-month deployment to Afghanistan. The unit managed engineering projects across Afghanistan, trained Afghan Army and Ministry of Public Works engineers and oversaw the clearance of explosives ranges. The homecoming ceremony was held at Buckner Physical Fitness Center on Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska, 14 December, 2014. Photos by Capt. Richard Packer, 2D Engineer Brigade Public Affairs.
