Top Resources for Engineers

Engineers by their very nature are inquisitive, but may not want to waste
any time wandering down information rabbit holes.

The internet is a perfect place for engineers to do research, stay
up-to-date on trends and connect with each other. In this article, we’ll
outline some of the most popular online watering holes for engineers of
all kinds.

Here are a few of the internet’s top engineer resources.

The Engineering Exchange
“Developed by engineers, for engineers,” The Engineering Exchange is a
social networking site connecting more than 11,000 engineers worldwide.

Users can log on to read and write blog posts, watch and share videos, and
engage in discussions on the forum, where topics range from everything
from electrical and mechanical engineering to 3D CAD, motion control and
fluid power.

You’ll also get the chance to talk to engineers whose jobs are like yours,
or people working in your field or your community.

LinkedIn
People in virtually any line of work can use LinkedIn to connect with
their peers and search for jobs, so why include them on this list of
engineer resources?

It’s because of LinkedIn’s groups function, which allows people in
specific industries to create a place just for them. Among the LinkedIn
groups that might appeal to engineers:

Engineering Collaboration for PLM – Engineers using product lifecycle
management to administer CAD data can visit this group to see how other
companies used PLM to manage their CAD projects.
Engineers Looking for Stuff – Engineers who need anything from consulting
services to whitepapers to additional engineering help can turn to ELFS
for guidance.
Engineering Jobs Worldwide – This group has more than half a million
members, and allows engineers to hunt for jobs all over the world, whether
they’re involved in chemical, electrical, mechanical, or civil
engineering.
Electrical Engineers World – This is one of LinkedIn’s biggest electrical
engineering communities, with vibrant, detailed discussion, as well as
answers to some of the field’s trickier questions.

Education Center.

The American Society of Mechanical Engineers
ASME is a not-for-profit organization that “enables collaboration,
knowledge sharing, career enrichment, and skills development across all
engineering disciplines, toward a goal of helping the global engineering
community develop solutions to benefit lives and livelihoods.”

The group’s website includes a job board, a place to submit and review
journal papers and more than 700 groups dealing with topics from aerospace
engineering to transportation to bioengineering.

Engineering.com
On Engineering.com, you’ll find a range of free tools and resources, along
with a vast engineering library. The site also recently gave birth to a
micro-site specifically aimed at electrical engineers.

At Mars International, we value what engineers do, and we also know that
your engineers work best when they have the best information.That’s why
our manufacturing engineers will work with your team from beginning to
end, making sure your product meets the required functionality at the
lowest cost, without losing quality.
