American Society of Mechanical Engineers, American Society Of Mechanical Engineers. 1996-2010. Web. 7 April 2010

This is a web page for the American society of mechanical engineers. This web site was created as a place for engineers to gather and exchange information. Also for the everyday person who wants to know more about what an engineer does. This site has a lot of wonderful information on it. I hope to make the most out of this resource I can. This site I believe is credible because it has been around for years, and the fact that it is ran by mechanical engineers.

This is an article from pro quest that is very interesting. It talks about what mechanical engineers will do in the year 2010. It talks about how we will be trying to bring the poor back from the condition they are in back to respectable people. Also how all of the work will be done from home instead of from an office. This article is credible because from an library database. These databases seem to be extremely reliable.




Thilmany, J.. "MATH BY GENDER. " Mechanical Engineering 132.3 (2010): 15-15. Research Library Core, ProQuest. Web. 7 Apr. 2010.

This article is about how women are more appt to not take a degree in engineering, because they are not as confident in their math. If they were more sure about their math skills maybe there would be more female mechanical engineers. Honestly thing might be designed better if there were more female engineers. Because to me it seem women would succed greatly in this career. About this database it should be reliable.
