The Internet is an excellent place to look for answers, especially for those in specialized industries. There are a bunch of Web sites that relate to engineering terms, technologies and engineering. This month's Web site review looks at a few of these engineering sites.
http://www.nspe.org. This is the National Society for Professional Engineers' (NSPE) Web site, which contains the latest in engineering news. This site is membership-based, but visitors are able to access all areas except those listed as members only. For links to engineering-related news items, click the News Room tab near the top of the page. Then click one of the links, such as NSPE News Releases. Each release is dated and links to the whole story.
