Macworld December 2002 Charles Seiter	Matlab 6.5 The MathWorks' Matlab has long been the preferred math program for many engineering uses. After several years' absence, the latest version, Matlab 6.5, brings it back to the Mac.
Macworld December 2002 Charles Seiter	Simulink 5 The engineer's best friend returns to the Mac. This program, which uses a built-in Matlab computational base to generate simulations from block diagrams, is the best tool available for simulation of mechanical control systems and digital signal processing.
This Old House Craig Canine	Wright House, Wrong Roof High-tech solutions for the architect's notoriously leaky design at Wingspread
CIO December 1, 2002 Sarah D. Scalet	When Every Molecule Counts A group of electrical engineers at Purdue University hope that their research could lead to ultrasensitive sensors capable of detecting a single molecule of a biological agent or chemical pollutant.
IndustryWeek December 1, 2002 John Teresko	Build Strategies With FEA Simulation Leading manufacturers compete with the simulation capability of finite element analysis. The objective is to produce higher quality designs, reduce experimental material cost and reduce reliance on physical testing.
Wired December 2002 Scott Kirsner	Rebuilding Tomorrowland For 50 years, Disney's Imagineers have put the tech magic in the Magic Kingdom. Now economic pressures are bringing the grand ambitions back down to earth, where it's a smaller world after all.
IndustryWeek December 1, 2002 John Teresko	Technologies Of The Year -- Honda Civic Hybrid Sedan The automaker offers the first mainstream automobile application of gasoline-electric hybrid technology.
IndustryWeek December 1, 2002 Tonya Vinas	Technologies Of The Year -- LiquidMetal Alloys Innovative material is stronger than titanium but can be formed like a plastic.
IndustryWeek December 1, 2002 Tim Stevens	Technologies Of The Year -- DFM Concurrent Costing Version 2.0 Early-stage 'should-cost' estimating helps engineers select the most effective materials and manufacturing processes for new parts.
IndustryWeek December 1, 2002 Jill Jusko	R&D Stars To Watch These researchers and engineers continue to push the boundaries of technological and scientific achievement.
