The Next Frontier in Mechanical Engineering

Drones are being designed, built and programmed to link up and carry larger, heavier objects as a unit.

Drone technology is quickly evolving –no longer just for military use, these flying robots now have a place within commercial enterprise. Also known as unmanned aerial vehicles, drones today have practical applications, like delivering packages for Amazon or allowing realtors to take aerial video to show off a sale property.

To date, there is usually a weight limit on how much a drone can carry, restricting its usefulness. But Jonathan Rogers, assistant professor at the George W. Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering, is trying to change that. He is designing, building and programming robotic drones that can link up and carry larger, heavier objects as a unit

“In my lab, we are working with multiple drones that lift and fly packages together,” said Rogers. “This involves distributing heavy lift capabilities into a number of small drone units that can then organize themselves to pick the object up.”

With exceptional portability, unobtrusive size and remote control, drones are ideal for situations that are dangerous for humans. Rogers has designed the world’s first heavy lift small drones – robots that can work together to lift and evacuate wounded soldiers from the battlefield or civilians from a disaster area. Theoretically, three to four man-portable robots fly out together, connect to the person, and lift them 500 yards out of harm’s way.

Each drone has eight large propellers and can fold up into a backpack for portability. The drone can lift a 65 pound object, and with three or four drones working together, a human can be lifted. Rogers explains that it’s all about thrust density, a term he invented.

“Determining how much thrust you can pack into a small area is important when you are using multiple vehicles to lift a specific object,” said Rogers. “When you pack a large amount of thrust into a small object, the laws of physics work against you, so you need more power. That’s why we only fly the soldiers about 500 yards away after they are lifted from the battlefield.”

The drones Rogers works on are part of a new field called cooperative flight control, where multiple drones connect to an object that they know very little about and move it in a stable way. Rogers has named these drones “modular vertical lift robots,” and they also have useful implications for package delivery.

Currently, Rogers and his team are working on a funded project with the Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) to test multiple vertical lift robots that connect up to deliver supplies. The robots are programed to take into account flexible logistics by connecting to the object (payload) and determining its weight and size and how to move it in a stable way. The small robots work together as a team, known as multi agent control.

“Right now we are most concerned with ensuring the robots fly in a stable way once they analyze the payload and mass center,” said Rogers. “We are calling this autonomous flightworthiness determination (AFWD), and it’s a topic in the field that no one else has explored.”

A major challenge for AFWD and cooperative flight control is determining how the drones are going to attach to the payload. Rogers has developed a docking apparatus, so the robot vehicles can attach to the object. When a flexible payload, like a human, doesn’t have docks, Rogers is looking into using manipulators with soft gripper technology on the robots. Then the robots will have a flexible way of grasping the human.

In the next 20 to 30 years, Rogers predicts that mobile robots moving together will be employed in everyday situations. But a key hurdle remains – normalizing the technology to ensure it is compatible with and trusted by humans.

“I am really invested in creating new mechanisms and autonomy algorithms that allow robots to serve a beneficial purpose in society,” said Rogers. “The modular vehicle lift robot that can operate during disaster situations is a great example of the type of technology that can benefit people. Also, the drone docks we are designing will be a key piece of equipment that hundreds of companies can use to do their jobs better. Making an impact on society is really our goal.”

What Are Different Types of Engineering

Engineering continues to be a thriving college major, as the number of engineering graduates has increased. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, nearly 140,000 new engineering jobs are expected to be created between 2016 and 2026.

With so many different types of engineering jobs, it can be challenging for prospective and early-career undergraduate students to decide which track to pursue.


Engineers serve in various roles, from creating, improving and maintaining massive structures like highways and bridges to designing smaller items like laptops, smartphones and athletic sneakers. Aerospace engineers design and test technology used in spacecraft, aircraft and satellites while biomedical engineers help create medicine and technology to advance human health.


While faculty members at engineering programs say that both aerospace and biomedical engineering majors are increasing in popularity, these disciplines are not as common across the U.S. as some other fields.

Four of the most common engineering majors offered at most U.S. engineering schools are:
Civil engineering
Electrical engineering
Mechanical engineering
Chemical engineering

Civil Engineering

Civil engineers work on civil infrastructure projects that affect the quality of life in various communities in major ways. These projects include highways, bridges, skyscrapers and wastewater treatment plants.

Civil engineers often communicate with architects, contractors and government officials to complete projects. People attracted to civil engineering typically want to make a huge impact on society, says Zachary Grasley, head of the civil and environmental engineering department at Texas A&M University.


“We build things that put the public at potential risk,” Grasley says. “If a bridge collapses, people die. If a building collapses, people die.”


Unlike some other engineering fields, most civil engineers are expected to have professional licenses and receive continuing education. Having good character and not cutting corners are important qualities for civil engineers.


In addition, civil engineering is a great option for those interested in becoming entrepreneurs, experts say. Several Texas A&M graduates have started consulting or construction firms, Grasley says.


“It's hard to develop a mom-and-pop automobile company, whereas there are thousands of engineering firms across the country,” he says.


The median annual earnings for civil engineers in the U.S. was $95,890 in 2023, according to the BLS.


Grasley said that while starting salaries for civil engineering positions aren’t as high as those for computer science majors, civil engineering offers plenty of opportunities for growth and increased compensation starting at the mid-career level.

Electrical Engineering


Electrical engineers design and test electrical equipment and systems used in machines, boats, auto motors, cellphones and cameras.


Students interested in electrical engineering should consider the type of problems they are interested in solving, says Maria Yang, deputy dean of engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's School of Engineering.


“Would you be drawn to developing control strategies for making sure the electrical grid runs safely, to the signal processing algorithms that process audio, to the coding strategies for sending data wirelessly faster and more reliably?” Yang wrote in a text message.

Best laptops for engineering students in 2024

The best laptops for engineering students easily handle complex CAD projects and datasets. If you're getting ready for the Back to School season, these are the most powerful and lightweight laptops we recommend for any engineering course.

Our expert team of reviewers have tested of the best student laptops - and for engineering, we like the Dell XPS 15. With some great specs inside a light, compact chassis, it's ideal for taking to class. For alternatives, check out the budget HP Victus 15 and the always impressive m2-powered Apple Mac Air.


In reviewing the best laptops for engineering students, we've compared specs, benchmarked performance. We also explored core features such as ports, connectivity, and a comfortable keyboard for essay-writing, to help you find the right laptop, whichever branch of engineering you study.Best laptop for AutoCAD deals: We tracked down the best AutoCAD laptop deals around right now

"Laptop perfection" is how we described Dell's excellent XPS 15. Maintaining its outstanding classic design from previous generations, the 2022 model is a solidly built device. It's made with a brushed CNC aluminum chassis and carbon fiber palm rests that, alongside the ever-comfortable Dell keyboard design, we found comfortable for prolonged use. If you're writing a lot of essays, you'll feel the benefit of this design very quickly. We were also impressed with the extended battery life, letting you work across campus without worrying about losing charge too fast. 

However, limiting portability (without the use of a laptop docking station at least) is the lack of available ports. You'll find three USB Type-C ports, which won't be ideal if you're using USB-A peripherals. 

It's a small complaint, perhaps, in an otherwise great laptop. Paired with a beautiful screen, a great keyboard, and plenty of storage space, you'll blaze through your latest project. Better still, this is a Windows laptop - and many engineering programs, particularly Autodesk's line-up, only run on Windows. 

It might be marketed as a gaming laptop. Still, the HP Victus 15's simple design (free from the gaudy 'gamer aesthetic' of many powerful laptops) and RTX-equipped models make it a solid choice for any engineering student who will be running graphically-demanding programs.

It's also remarkably cheap for a laptop with a discrete GPU, likely to please any budding engineer on a budget. During testing, it performed below other gaming laptops in our standard benchmarks, but not by a huge margin. We also found that it takes air circulation seriously, boasting a dual-fan setup and a large air vent at the bottom. That's going to be a major benefit when working in those resource-intensive apps and large, complex projects that really test the mettle of any engineering laptop. 

A bright 15.6-inch FHD display and generally robust build quality mean that while this isn't the most lightweight laptop in the business, it's tough enough to withstand the bumps and bruises of college life. If you're looking to save space in your dorm, this machine easily pulls double-duty as a laptop and a desktop replacement. The Apple MacBook Air (M2, 2022) isn't just one of the best laptops Apple has ever made. It's one of the best laptops for engineering students who value portability and power. However, it's worth checking course requirements here, as depending on your discipline, many engineering classes require a Windows laptop for software compatibility. 

But if it's right for you, then you'll find this machine will absolutely breeze through just about any project, thanks to its incredibly powerful M2 processor. During our time with the MacBook Air, the laptop performed incredibly well, blazing through tasks like video editing and graphic design without a single drag on performance. So, it's more than capable of handle compatible engineering apps. Better still, for those working in libraries and other busy, communal areas, we found the fan was silent under normal operating conditions (although we would expect the volume to amp up when running heavier workloads). 

The laptop is thin, light, stylish, durable with an incredible battery life that lasts over 11 hours on a single charge. In other words, perfect for carrying around campus. Its screen is gorgeous, and the new-and-improved keyboard means you can effortlessly produce coursework for hours.

The Asus ROG Strix SCAR G834JY boasts an incredible array of specs that promise to make this machine rocket to the top of wishlists for engineering students looking for a laptop powerful for work and play (because college isn't all about studying, right?). 

While built with gamers in mind, the G834JY is built to effortlessly handle processor and GPU-intensive workloads on engineering courses. Specs are excellent - 13th Gen Intel Core i9-13980HX processor and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Laptop GPU. RAM tops at 64 GB of DDR5-4800 MHz memory and comes equipped with 2 TB of PCIe 4x4 configured in RAID 0. So, this machine should last you throughout your course - it's not going to age-out or need upgrading. 

The screen is great, too - 18-inch QHD+ 16:10, with more screen real estate to keep total oversight over your work. Especially good for designers, the display boasts 100% DCI-P3 color gamut and Pantone Validation. 

On the downside, it's not ultra-portable.  It's broad and heavy and you won't want to lug this laptop around college ground a lot. Cooling isn't great here. Nor did we find battery life especially good. The Asus ROG Strix SCAR G834JY is ideal, however, for setting up in one or two locations each day. Connectivity and port selection aren't great either, the only highlight being a single Thunderbolt 4 port, so you'll need a docking station if you have a lot of peripherals.

With its top-end specs and those minor shortcomings on a very high-performance laptop, this one gives us desktop alternative vibes.
