Tech Engineering News

Tech Engineering News was a student-run publication at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology from 1920 to 1976.[1][2]

It started as an advertising supplement for Tech in 1920, and its last issue was Volume 60 No. 1.

In 1952, it published two short stories by Norbert Weiner: The Brain (anthologized in Groff Conklin's Crossroads in Time) and The Miracle of the Broom Closet (reprinted the same year in The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction).[3][4]

In 1965, Allan Gottlieb became the editor of the Puzzle Corner, which was later then also carried by Technology Review starting in 1966, and still running in 2015, for a fifty-year run.[5]

In 1967, the magazine republished Martin Graetz' fantasy short story "Building Nine" set at MIT.[6] Graeltz was one of the developers of SpaceWar!, an early video game, while at MIT.
