Asian Pacific Heritage Month
May is Asian Pacific Heritage Month. In honor of this year's celebration, consider the art of origami for your next engineering endeavor.

Whether origami is an indigenous Japanese craft, or if it arose earlier in China, it is the Japanese form of paper folding that is best known today.
For centuries, it was a modest domestic decorative craft, but today, the techniques of origami can also help engineers improve everything from maps and camping gear to airbags and space telescopes.
See our origami engineering resources, as well as those on
Asian American engineers and scientists.
