Records in the database provide summary information including computer requirements. Courseware can be downloaded online. Topics covered include atomic binding, magnetic behavior, crystal structures, diffusion, mechanical properties, nucleation and growth, phase diagrams, dispersion strengthening, and transformation and treatment, and corrosion and degradation. The goal of the site is to provide greater access to the historical documentation of engineering and technology. An excellent resource for learning about advances in engineering and technology since the 1960s.
Reviews are available for selected cases.
Also includes a description of how to write case studies in engineering and how to use engineering case studies in the classroom. The catalog for over 250 cases maintained by the Center for Case Studies in Engineering at Carleton University can be searched by subject classification. Ordering information is included. Includes a collection of brief discussion cases in engineering eithics with links to the actual NSPE Board of Ethics cases on which they were based. Case studies publicly available through ErgoWeb which describe real life occupational hazards and their ergonomic solutions.
