NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Knovel, an online resource that helps engineers find reliable technical information faster, today announced it has launched Engineering Cases, a regular content feature that aims to bridge the knowledge gap for engineers by sharing examples of best practices, rules of thumb, new uses of applications or technologies. The articles, written by engineers and reviewed by experienced editors, highlight specific examples of how engineers have applied innovative and fresh approaches to both common and uncommon challenges.
Written in a case study format and released on a rolling basis, the articles will focus on four engineering practice areas: Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Product Lifecycle Management and Sustainable Development.
“I’ve worked in the publishing industry for over 40 years, and my passion is to provide engineers with information and reference material that is a catalyst for innovation as well as a foundation for professional development,” says Myer Kutz, editor of Knovel’s Mechanical Engineering Cases. “I was eager to work with Knovel to capture examples of the decisions, pressures and actions engineers regularly face. I’ve recognized a need to document real world engineering experience for years- in fact, I had a similar idea prior to the internet era. I’m pleased that Knovel has created a venue for engineers to share and learn from each other.”
Articles will initially appear free of charge at engineeringcases.knovelblogs.com. Thereafter, articles will be made available through Knovel’s web-based application to ensure the collection is accessible to thousands of engineers, engineering managers and students that search Knovel each day.
“We are laser focused on the needs of engineers, and with a decade of experience of identifying and delivering relevant technical information, we recognized an unmet need to provide original content that helps engineers to share real world experiences in a practical way,” says Chris Forbes, Knovel president and CEO. “Given the size of the engineering community we reach, we are in a unique position to help the industry retain and collect a body of knowledge that bridges the gap of experience among engineers.”
