What's Your Problem?

Rather than scratching heads when faced with a seemingly impossible contradiction in a job, engineers could do worse than apply the Triz theory.

There has been quite a buzz around Triz, the Russian theory of problem solving, for some time. Since it was fully refined in the mid-1980s its use has been slowly spreading as word gets round, much like the increasing popularity of a political movement.


Subject Guides from the IMechE

In order to try and get some of the vast store of engineering information we're sitting on out to a wider audience we've created a number of occasional subject guides for engineers and students. The aim is to highlight sources of information available from our Library and the Institution itself.

You can see an example of one of these (for the aerospace industry) here, from which you can browse to a whole host of others.

Question is, does it work? As a potential end user and casual browser, would you find this easy to use? How would you improve it?

Let me know in the comments.

News feeds from the IMechE

I run part of the website here at the IMechE in the UK. Since we have many international visitors to our technical events I thought I'd point out that we've finally brought out a whole raft of RSS goodness with the launch of a range of industry specific feeds from our calender of events. We intend to launch more feeds for other content areas soon.
