    Studies
In summary, the conversation revolves around finding a resourceful case study focusing on engineering companies that specialize in renewable energy components. The person is seeking help in locating websites or resources for such case studies, and suggests a link for a start. They also mention that engineering case studies are essentially economic case studies and provide a link to a new solar energy company as a potential source of information.

I am looking for a very resourceful case study which would include changes the company has made in order to improve itself. I am trying to focus on Engineering Companies which design, manufacture and upgrade renewable energy related components such as turbines and solar panels. Websites of any Engineering related case studies will surely give me some idea of where to look. Prehaps there are websites full of these as I'm sure it would be a very beneficial resource and would be shocked if there is not piles of knowledge neatly organized some where.

Hope someone can help, Thank You.

Try this link for a start:
http://www.aciltasman.com.au/economic-case-studies

You may note that "Engineering Case Studies" are essentially economic case studies- ie. if a company does such and such what will be the return on investment over so many years. Such and such can be anything from re-tooling a plant, building a new plant, investing in or acquiring new technology, acquisitions, research, new products -- the list goes on and on.

The link may not be what you are looking for but it should give some new ideas on what and where to expand your search.

I don't know if this helps, but this is a fairly new solar energy company here in Silicon Valley:

Maybe some info at their website can be of help.

FAQ: Looking for 'Engineering Case Studies'

1. What are engineering case studies?

Engineering case studies are real-life examples of engineering projects, problems, or solutions that have been documented and analyzed for educational or research purposes. These studies typically include information on the engineering process, challenges faced, and outcomes.

2. Why are engineering case studies important?

Engineering case studies are important because they provide a valuable learning resource for students, researchers, and professionals in the engineering field. They allow for the examination and understanding of real-world engineering projects and can help inform future engineering decisions and practices.

3. How are engineering case studies conducted?

Engineering case studies are typically conducted by gathering information and data from various sources, such as project reports, interviews with engineers and stakeholders, and site visits. This information is then analyzed and organized into a comprehensive case study report.

4. What can we learn from engineering case studies?

Engineering case studies can provide insights into the engineering process, including design, construction, and problem-solving strategies. They can also highlight the importance of collaboration and communication in successful engineering projects. Additionally, case studies can showcase the impact of engineering on society and the environment.

5. Where can I find engineering case studies?

Engineering case studies can be found in various sources such as academic journals, engineering textbooks, and online databases. Many universities and engineering organizations also have databases or archives of case studies available for research and learning purposes.
