We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Universities",
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 PhD shortage limits engineering innovation from
Royal Academy of Engineering, which we summarised at the time by saying "A recent report claims industry requires many more engineers and that funding per university engineering student needs to increase by 50 to 80%".
Earlier in the week,
we featured the news release Negative-stiffness vibration isolators explained from
Minus K Technology: "Although air tables have been around for the better part of a half-century, their usefulness as an efficient method for vibration isolation is now being seriously challenged, says Jim McMahon".
In January 2008, we covered the news from Granta Design
concerning its CES EduPack 2008
- take a look at Technical teaching resource suits university use
which says: "CES EduPack is based around a database of materials property information and a set of software tools, supported by textbooks and resources for lectures, projects and exercises".
Take a look also at the news release from Cambridge Consultants, Scholarship programme signs up 100th student,
as well as Turkish CC-Link office targets growing market from CC-Link Partner Association,
and Software deal targets Indian turbomachinery from SoftInWay.
