We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Mechanical Engineer",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release For he's a jolly young Fellow from
Institution of Mechanical Engineers, which we summarised at the time by saying "Richard Sibbick has become the youngest mechanical engineer to become a Fellow, the highest level of professional recognition from the IMechE".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Software models glucose measurement system from
SolidWorks Corporation: "The Luminous Medical glucose measurement system required extensive and complex fluid thermal analysis".
In August 2007, we covered the news from Ansys
concerning its Ansys Workbench platform
- take a look at Software chosen for fusion power project
which says: "Engineering simulation solutions from Ansys will be used to accelerate research and development by optimising key components of the ITER experimental fusion reactor".
Take a look also at the news release from Sanyo DC Micro Motor Division, Micro motor offers a small footprint,
as well as Company makes steam trap choice from Gardner Energy Management,
and Instructors take a new approach to solid modelling from Alibre.
