Websites

There are many resources available on the Internet for engineering technology. The websites listed below are only a sample set, and it is not meant to be an exhaustive list. At the time of this writing, all of the websites listed are currently active, however, due to the transitory nature of the Internet, this may not be the case at any future date. Additionally, information from the Internet needs to be evaluated critically, with attention to origin, author, motive, bias, and age.
