Tight schedules and narrow profit margins often challenge innovators in the electronic product development process. Engineers determined to stay at the cutting edge need access to the latest tools and technologies to continue pushing the envelope.“Industries like automotive and aerospace face unique challenges in electronic system design, including the need for high reliability, stringent safety standards, and the integration of complex systems.”, says Sarmad Khemmoro, SVP at Altair. “In automotive design, the shift towards electric vehicles (EVs) and autonomous driving technologies adds layers of complexity in power management, sensor integration, and software reliability. Aerospace designs must contend with extreme environmental conditions and the need for fault-tolerant systems, which requires innovative approaches to design verification and validation.”The ATCx Electronics for Engineers 2024: Riding the Crest of Innovation event is therefore designed to provide engineers with cutting-edge insights and advanced solutions in the field of electronics. ATCx showcases how simulation, AI, and data analytics drive electronic design breakthroughs across industries, offering insights to enhance collaboration, shorten design cycles, and discover actionable insights that drive business value.<a href="https://events.altair.com/atcx-electronics-for-engineers-2024/?utm_campaign=CORP-2024-09-ATCx-SIM-Electronics&utm_source=wevolver.com&utm_medium=sponsored-article&utm_content=atcx-electronics-2024-wevolver-sponsored-article" target="_blank" id="isPasted" class="button-main-action" rel="noopener noreferrer">Register now</a>This global event is a unique opportunity to gain insights from top industry experts and explore cutting-edge methodologies in electronic engineering.

Engineers and innovators are invited to participate in the Resilient City challenge hosted by Hackster and Microchip. &nbsp;The top proposals will be awarded AVRIoT Cellular Mini hardware, and participants will have the opportunity to win up to $7000+ in prizes.<a href="https://www.hackster.io/contests/avriot/?utmsource=wevolver" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="button-main-action">Learn more</a><h2>What are resilient cities?</h2>Resilient cities are places that prioritize preparedness, proactive planning, and the implementation of innovative strategies to build and maintain strong foundations that can withstand and recover quickly from disruptions.By establishing efficient waste management systems, preserving natural habitats, and encouraging predictive maintenance options, resilient cities can improve the overall quality of life for residents by adopting cloud-connected sensor technologies to drive useful insight to help identify potential risks, develop emergency response plans, and implement early warning systems.<h2>Building resilient cities</h2>In this contest, we are asking participants to use Microchip's AVR-IoT Cellular Mini to develop and demonstrate a comprehensive system that reads sensor data and then creates an action to address the following smart city scenarios:<ul><li>Predictive Maintenance: Design and implement a predictive maintenance system that can accurately monitor and predict the health of industrial machinery or equipment related to city infrastructure. Use sensor data, machine learning algorithms, and IoT (Internet of Things) connectivity to enable real-time condition monitoring, fault detection, and proactive maintenance scheduling.</li><li>Waste Management: Devise an innovative waste management strategy that minimizes waste generation, optimizes waste collection and disposal processes, and promotes recycling and sustainable practices. This may include developing smart waste monitoring systems, waste segregation techniques, recycling programs, waste-to-energy conversion technologies, or any other creative solution aimed at reducing waste and promoting environmental sustainability.</li><li>Automated Conservation Actions: Participants should leverage devices to monitor the presence and behavior of various species or natural resources within the city. Use the device to trigger automated actions, such as activating sprinklers during dry periods to support plant life or deploying deterrents to keep animals away from sensitive areas. Use sensor data to help assess the health of the habitat and identify bio-diversity, help track population trends, migration patterns, and changes in animal behavior, aid in corridor management, reduce the risk of animal-vehicle collisions, etc. For example: when an animal shows up, take a picture.</li></ul>While these are great areas to focus on, if you have a killer idea that falls outside any of these areas that are unique to your city/community, that’s fantastic, too!<h3>Key dates:</h3>Contest begins: November 14, 2023 at 2:00 PM PSTApplications for hardware close: December 10, 2023 at 12:00 PM PSTHardware recipients announced: December 18, 2023 at 12:00 PM PSTSubmissions close: February 29, 2024 at 12:00 PM PSTWinners announced&nbsp;by Mar 25, 2024<h2 id="isPasted">Prizes</h2>We are giving away thousands of dollars in prizes to the top 14 projects!

It uses a heated nozzle to melt and extrude the granules layer by layer, enabling the creation of intricate and customized objects. What sets FGF apart from other 3D printing methods is its versatility, as it can effectively utilize a wide range of commercially available plastic or composite granulates. This feature makes FGF a cost-effective and easily scalable option with numerous applications.<img src="https://images.wevolver.com/eyJidWNrZXQiOiJ3ZXZvbHZlci1wcm9qZWN0LWltYWdlcyIsImtleSI6ImZyb2FsYS8xNjk4MzI3MjA2OTAzLVBfMjAyMzA4MDNfMTUxMDIyICgxKSAoMikuanBnIiwiZWRpdHMiOnsicmVzaXplIjp7IndpZHRoIjo5NTAsImZpdCI6ImNvdmVyIn19fQ==" style="width: 300px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib">Granular materials (pellets) used in Fused Granulate Fabrication (FGF) 3D Printing.
