Innovations report is a website that collects articles about innovations in technology from industry websites and professional journals. The description on its website includes: “With content from more than 8,200 partners and 201,000 publications, innovations-report offers up-to-date R&D results and information on leading-edge technologies, processes, products and services from innovative companies and well-known research institutes around the world, thus making us a key driver of global innovation.”
The site has a list of 20 engineering areas to choose from, and within each area there are further subdivisions with a long list of articles. Examples of engineering areas include: architecture & construction, business & finance, health & medicine, information technology, power & electrical engineering, transportation & logistics.
Within the area machine engineering, “innovations-report offers informative reports and articles covering technologies such as automation, motion, power train, energy, conveyor, plastics, lightweight construction, logistics/warehousing, measurement systems, machine tools and control engineering.”
The articles are complete and detailed, but short and focused enough for intermediate students and above to be able to read. The article, “Technical update for embedded industrial PC’s” (from Siemens) in the machine engineering section is only 297 words. The information for the third-generation Intel Core i7 processors includes a technical description and a description of the features that make it innovative.
The list of subject areas is extensive, and within each area there are so many articles that information can be found for any type of engineering class or student.
Not only can these articles be used for reading and class work, but students can be encouraged to visit the site on their own to focus on the specific areas that are of interest to them, either personally or professionally.
