Tell us your Tale!

Dear EDN Readers,

We’re thrilled to announce the successful expansion of our Design Ideas section. Thanks to your support, we now publish two new DIs every week!

We’re also excited to revitalize our Tales from the Cube column. This platform allows engineers to share their unique experiences in solving challenging design issues—whether they encountered a product failure, dealt with troublesome equipment, or tackled a persistent problem on a personal project.

We aim to regularly update this column with fresh content. With your contributions, we hope to gradually breathe new life into Tales from the Cube with new articles to feature in our Fun Friday newsletter.

Here are some FAQs to get you started:

What are Tales from the Cube articles?

Tales from the Cube are generally brief, focused narratives where engineers outline how they arrive at a solution to a specific design challenge or an innovative approach to a design task. This can relate to a personal project, a contract, or a corporate design dilemma. Here are some basic guidelines that might help you as you write out your article:

  • 600-1000 words 
  • 1-2 images
  • One-sentence summary of your story that goes along with the title
  • A short author bio

What technology areas are allowed?

We’re open to a wide range of technology areas, including (but not limited to) analog and digital circuits, RF and microwave, programmable logic, hardware-design languages, systems, programming tips, utilities, test equipment and techniques, power, and more. If you’re not sure about your topic, just email us at editors@aspencore.com.

Do I get paid for a Tales from the Cube article?

Yes! Monetary compensation for each Tales from the Cube article is $200 USD, not enough to keep the lights on, but it does offer you an avenue to tell your unique engineering story to tens of thousands of engineers globally and engage in some interesting conversations about your engineering remedy. 

How can I submit a Tales from the Cube article?

Feel free to email us at editors@aspencore.com with your questions, thoughts, or a completed article. So, Tell us your Tale!
