Sections include: Career Guides, Multiple Disciplines, Aeronautics/Aerospace, Architecture, Urban Planning, Automotive, Biotechnology/Biomedical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Explosives Engineering, Facilities Engineering, Industrial Design, Instrumentation/Control/Automation, Mass Spectroscopy, Materials Mathematics & Statistics, Mechanical Engineering, CAD/CAM/CAE, Fluid Dynamics, Occupational Safety/Industrial Hygiene, Optics/Photonics, Pyrotechnics, Robotics, Surveying
Finding Sources -- Engineering
http://www.dianahacker.com/resdoc/p03_c07_s05.html
From Bedford/St. Martin's Press and Diana Hacker (editor of A Writer's Reference) comes this web guide to finding sources in engineering. Starting with Databases and Indexes, it also offers Web Resources and Reference Books. A guide to documenting sources is included. Overall a balanced approach to finding all types of sources in academic subject areas. See links for all types of engineering. [Web resources are not up-to-date.]
Intute: Engineering
http://www.intute.ac.uk/sciences/engineering/
"The Intute Engineering Gateway provides free access to high quality resources on the Internet. Each resource has been evaluated and categorised by subject specialists based at UK universities. Our target audience is students, staff and researchers in higher and further education." Site's Virtual Training Suite offers a "teach yourself" tutorial that lets those in Engineering (general and automotive) practice their Internet Information Skills; also one for Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Materials Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Offshore Engineering.
NSDL Scout Report for Math, Engineering, and Technology
http://scout.wisc.edu/Reports/NSDL/MET/2005/met-050422.php
A subject-specific report produced by the Internet Scout Project with reviewed links for research, education, general and topic in depth for Math, Engineering, and Technology. Better yet -- once on the site, search the archives for "engineering" or the sub-topic of your choice.
Science and Engineering Encyclopedia
http://www.diracdelta.co.uk/
There are many online encyclopedias floating around the web, but relatively few that cover the world of engineering. This particular online encyclopedia will be of great use to students of engineering and science, and educators working in these broad areas may wish to pass it along to their students. Visitors can click around at their leisure through the alphabet of terms and concepts explained here, or they may also wish to start off in one of the topical areas, which include mechanical engineering, computing, chemistry, and physics. With several thousand entries, visitors can learn about acoustic mirrors, aerodynamic noise, auralization, and benzene rings. Overall, it’s a nice find, and users will want to bookmark the site for future reference if they find themselves puzzled by Euler’s equation and other weighty matters. [KMG of Scout Report]
