Bioengineering databases:

  • ACM Digital Library – access the full text of all Association of Computing Machinery journals, magazines, and conference proceedings and e-books from 1985 onwards.
  • IEEE Xplore– database of journal articles, ebooks, conference proceedings and selected standards for use in the fields of technology and physics. This video tutorial will help you get started on using this database to find journal articles, reports, conference proceedings and more.
  • IET Research Hub – open access collection of 43 IET journals from 2013 onwards.
  • JOVE -collection of video resources on engineering concepts and developments
  • PubMed – essential database of journal articles for medicine and health sciences
  • SPIE Digital Library – The largest collection of optics and photonics applied research, providing full-text access to technical papers from SPIE journals and conference proceedings from 1962 onwards.

Video Resources for Mechanical Engineering:

If you like audio-visual resources to support your study then we have some within our collections.

  • JOVE Bioengineering offering animations on key topics equilibrium, forces, truss analysis, and structural mechanics.
  • IET Technical webinars – free, on-demand webinars on a variety of engineering topics including; AI, electromagnetics, robotics, vision and imaging.

 Useful websites for Engineering:

These resources are freely available on the web:

  • ArXiv – gives access to full text, open access research papers covering physics, mathematics and computer science.  It includes articles that have not yet been peer-reviewed / published
  • Biorxiv – provides access to full text, open access research papers covering bioscience. It contains articles that have not yet been peer-reviewed / published
  • TechRxiv – is an open, moderated preprint server for unpublished research in electrical engineering, computer science, and related technology.
  • WolframAlpha – unique engine for computing answers, analysis and reports using expert-level knowledge and algorithms.
