General Engineering Sites

SVcommunity.com

New for January 2011, this promises to be a great resource. The site is a Web 2.0 style social netwrok aimed at sound and vibration engineers (think of LinkedIn or Facebook). Anyone can view material, but you have to be a member to contribute. Membership is currently by invite only to prevent spam.

Engineering.com

A wealth of engineering related news, videos, resources and jobs.

The Engineering Toolbox

A great site, well structured into various engineering categories that lets you drill down to find the information you need. The flow of the site is a little spoiled by too many Google Ads links, but that is just a minor irritation.

Not strictly an engineering resource, but LinkedIn is a great place to network with fellow engineers (it’s a bit like Facebook for grown-ups) and has some really useful special interest groups for sharing knowledge, meeting like-minded professionals and exchanging job opportunities.

GlobalSpec

Calling itself “The Engineering Search Engine”, GlobalSpec is packed full of engineering products and suppliers. Has some great email newsletters and product alert emails. You can even find Prosig on GlobalSpec.

How Stuff Works

Whenever we need bit of extra background information for an office discussion this website is one of our first ports of call. Packed full of straightforward explanations.

Eng-Tips Forums

A fine collection of discussion forums, blogs, whitepapers and more. Covers a wide range of engineering fields.

Wikipedia

Again, not strictly an engineering site, but Wikipedia can’t be ignored when seeking information. Much has been made of the possible innaccuracies of Wikipedia’s articles, but genarally the scientific and engineering pages are well maintained.

Discover Engineering

A fantastic site for students or anyone new to engineering. Or just about anyone who enjoys quirky science projects and engineering themed games and activities. We all need a little light relief, right?

Fun-Engineering

As the title suggests, another bit of fun. Fun-Engineering (maintained by Prof. Jim McGovern of the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Dublin Institute of Technology) is a great little site, full of engineering gems. To my mind it is sites like this that make the WWW what it is.

Tutorials, Education & Training

Digital Signal Processing Tutorial

A useful collection of DSP Java applets and other resources.

Civil Engineering Degree

Useful links and resources for anyone considering studying for a civil engineering degree in the USA.

The Signal Processing Information Base

The Signal Processing Information Base (SPIB) is a project sponsored by the Signal Processing Society and the National Science Foundation. SPIB contains information repositories of data, papers, software, newsgroups, bibliographies, links to other repositories, and addresses, all of which are relevant to signal processing research and development.

SAVIAC

A good site with loads of papers, software and links.

Institute of Sound & Vibration Research

Based at Southampton University. Original home to quite a few of our staff and customers.

Technology Training Initiative

TTi offers short courses in vibration and shock testing, measurement, data acquisition and analysis, and other related topics.

Equipment Reliability Institute

Training courses and consulting, particularly in the fields of vibration & shocktesting, HALT, ESS and HASS.

Mathtools.net

Mathtools.net is the technical computing portal for all scientific and engineering needs. The portal is provided as a free service to the scientific community and contains useful links for technical computing programmers.
