Internet sites for Mechanical and Automotive/Motorsport Engineering

There are vast amounts of information available on the Internet. Browsing can be time consuming. Be aware that the majority of material is not refereed, so it is important to make sure that you are using a reliable source - see our guide to evaluating web sources for more information.

If you are looking for specific information you can search the Internet using subject gateways and search engines.

• Subject gateways (eg Intute, techXtra) are sites where Internet resources are collected and (sometimes) evaluated for a particular subject area.
• Intute: Science, Engineering and Technology
• techXtra
• Search engines are used to search the whole Internet eg Google . Good *science-specific* search engines are Scirus and Scitopia.
