Web Quest Report/ Evaluating Websites
Introduction
There are many websites that provide useful information concerning mechanical engineering. As a student taking this course, I regularly visit the various mechanical engineering sites. They provide me with useful information regarding the career path that I have decided to follow. It should be known that some websites do not offer much help and thus the reason why I have to search until I get the required information. Therefore, this report will provide an in-depth evaluation of ten websites that have mechanical engineering information.
Evaluation of Mechanical Engineering Websites
- Institution of Mechanical Engineers- http://www.imeche.org/
The first website that I found on the internet is known as the ‘Institution of Mechanical Engineers’ (Improving the world through engineering). The website easily grabs the attention of the individual who is viewing it for the first time. It has used extremely attractive graphics and is also quite user-friendly. There are several portals, which an individual can click in order to find more useful information regarding the website. The author of this website is sure to reach the intended audience because of the vast amount of information on offer. It is also up to date with reliable information, and therefore I recommend it to anyone interested in mechanical engineering.
- American Society of Mechanical Engineers- http://www.engr.sjsu.edu/asme/
There is not much that can be said about this website because it does not meet the expectations of a mechanical engineering student. It does not have a lot of information to offer an individual and the graphics are extremely few. The fonts used in the website are small and they are in white and black. It seems that the author of the website was only interested in reaching out to members of the society. This clearly shows that non-members of the society will not find the website to be of much help to them. However, it has current information about what society is doing, as well as events that it will have in the future. Also, the website is very easy to navigate because it does not have much content and it does not live up to the standards of a mechanical engineer.
- The World-Wide Web Virtual Library: Mechanical Engineering- http://vlib.org/Engineering
A virtual library often attracts the attention of many individuals, but this website does not do that. The information on the website is quite complex and is not easily understood. It does not even offer specific information regarding mechanical engineering. It seems that the author of the website did not pay much attention to what content they were putting up. The website is thus not user-friendly and this can affect the individual seeking information from it. Therefore, I would not recommend this information to first-time students of mechanical engineering who do not have knowledge about the course.
- Target jobs Engineering- http://targetjobs.co.uk/career-sectors/engineering/294514-what-jobs-can-you-do-with-a-mechanical-engineering-degree
This engineering website has information on engineering as well as the career prospects that exist. An individual who visits this website easily obtains information regarding jobs on offer for mechanical engineering graduates. The website has a list of employment sectors where an individual with a mechanical engineering degree can work. Some of these industries include the chemical industry, automotive industry, and aerospace industry, among others. The website does not offer a lot of information as there are no portals. Furthermore, the website is not attractive enough to make anyone want to visit it again. In my opinion, I would not recommend it to any mechanical engineering student.
Prospects is a United Kingdom’s website with information on graduate careers. On this website, an individual has to choose the career that they want to find out about and then the information will be displayed. Mechanical Engineering students, as well as those who want to study the course, will be informed about more about it. The website has information, such as further studies, careers and job options in mechanical engineering. The most distinct feature about the website is that it offers real-life case studies on what takes place in the field of mechanical engineering. Unfortunately, the information is not up to date because the author came up with it in the year 2011.
- Science Buddies- http://www.sciencebuddies.org/science-fair-projects/Intro-Mechanical-Engineering.shtml
There are numerous science fair project ideas on mechanical engineering that students can find on this website. It also easy to navigate regardless of the level a student is in as it has selection portals to meet different needs. This includes; advanced, intermediate and beginner levels. This website is user-friendly when compared to all the mechanical engineering websites I have seen. The author of this website intended that students find information searching to be easy as well as finding relevant information.
- Total jobs.com- http://www.totaljobs.com/careers-advice/job-profile/science-engineering-jobs/mechanical-engineer-job-description
The website offers information on where mechanical engineering graduates can find jobs anywhere in the world. It has information regarding everything concerning employment, such as life at work, legal and money matters, as well as interviews, among others. The audience for this website is students who are through with their mechanical engineering degrees and are searching for jobs. Unfortunately, there are many questions that are unanswered, such as how much is the entry-level salary in a company like Shell. With regards to the design, the website is easy to navigate and useful for research.
- Engineers Handbook- http://www.engineershandbook.com/
The website is an exceptional resource for mechanical engineering researchers and students. An individual searching for an explanation on various mechanical terminologies that include diagrams will find the website useful. Other information on the website includes; materials and mechanical processes used in mechanical engineering. Also, there are unit conversion features, equations with explanations making it a useful site.
- Mechanical Engineering TV- http://www.engineeringtv.com/
It is not easy to deny the fact that this website has vast resources of videos for mechanical engineering professionals and students. An individual can easily sign up and thereafter, watch and upload videos. A member has access to videos such as descriptions of how certain things work, future innovations and tutorials. An example of a video that is often watched is the Titanium Manufacturing Process. This website is a must watch for all people interested in the field of mechanical engineering.
The large portal has information on design resources in mechanical engineering. The portal has three key functions and they include;
- A collection of various applications that achieve certain tasks- Check wrench clearances or Design a spring.
- A huge list of links to resources with information on conferences, suppliers, among others.
- A blog section with spaces for commenting as well as asking questions.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the ten websites have provided me with knowledge and information regarding mechanical engineering. It is thus recommended that mechanical engineering professionals and students constantly review the websites to always be informed. Therefore, I am now well prepared when it comes to matters concerning researching information on the internet.
