We think that reverse engineering projects are pretty darn cool, so we’ve created a Reverse Engineering List to keep them all organized. That’s it for this Hacklet, As always, see you next week.

An MIT undergraduate shares her observations on the strengths and weaknesses of a reverse engineering project using Google SketchUp. Learning the Landscape Through Reverse Engineering Projects ...

There was a time when we would start our electronic projects with integrated circuits and other components, mounted on stripboard, or maybe on a custom PCB. This is still the case for many devices,… ...

Detect Possible Project Constraints Sometimes, we also use reverse engineering to research project limitations. This helps us avoid technology constraints when implementing unique features.

"The plan is to engineer the mind by reverse-engineering the brain," says Dharmendra Modha, manager of the cognitive computing project at IBM Almaden Research Center. In what could be one of the ...
