The editors of Mechanical Engineering magazine recognize technologists who developed a robot that can sterilize hospital rooms, a filter that can kill microbes in HVAC systems, an autonomous droid that delivers food, a lobby kiosk that can check for masks and fevers, and an open-source design for a face shield that anyone can 3D print. These are just a few of the many ways engineers responded to the COVID-19 pandemic.
