what are these?
Databases
Engineering Village
The most comprehensive interdisciplinary engineering database in the world. Covers all fields of engineering.
Science Direct College Edition
Full text access to Elsevier publications in the Sciences back to 1996. GFU subscribes to the Life Sciences, Health Sciences, and Physical Sciences and Engineering journal packages.
Knovel Engineering
Knovel is a web-based application that integrates technical e-book information with analytical and search tools. Knovel's interactive graphs and equations allow users to accurately plot points, test ranges for 'what-if' scenarios and solve real-world problems from tables and charts in references that would otherwise be static images on the page. We have access to four sections of Knovel:
- Biochemistry, Biology and Biotechnology
- Civil Engineering and Construction Materials
- Electronics and Semiconductors
- Mechanics and Mechanical Engineering
Synthesis Electromagnetics & Antennas Collection One
Produced by Morgan & Claypool Publishers, the Electromagnetics & Antennas Collection One is comprised of 25 Synthesis lectures.
