SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the value of ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers) as a resource for research in engineering fields. Participants highlight ASME's trade journals, specifically the Journal of Turbomachinery and Journal of Heat Transfer, as essential sources of information. Additionally, AIAA (American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics) is mentioned as a valuable resource for aerospace-related research. The challenge noted is the overwhelming number of available resources, making it difficult to navigate effectively.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with ASME and AIAA organizations
  • Understanding of engineering research methodologies
  • Knowledge of academic journal structures and indexing
  • Basic research skills for navigating databases
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore ASME's Journal of Turbomachinery for specific case studies
  • Review the Journal of Heat Transfer for thermal engineering insights
  • Investigate AIAA's publications for aerospace research trends
  • Learn effective database search techniques for academic research
USEFUL FOR

Engineering students, researchers, and professionals seeking comprehensive resources for mechanical and aerospace engineering research.

I has occurred to me that when I go to research, I would first like to survey the research that has already been done in that particular area.

Does anyone have any experience with ASME in this regard? Or possibly with other organizations?

I use the databases that I have access to at school, but I thought maybe there were some others out there that are 'the standard'.

Thanks,
Casey

Like any large organization, the tough part is knowing where to look. ASME/SAE has some great information sources. Most notably are their trade journals like Journal of Turbomachinery, Journal of Heat Transfer (to name a couple) are really good sources.

Like I mentioned, the problem is that there are so many out there it is tough to know what exists and where to look.

I have also found AIAA a good source for research material. But that is really pretty specific to aerospace applications.
