Knovel Bridges Knowledge Gap for Engineers

Engineering Cases Showcase Real Problem Solving Experiences
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."
