Ask HN: News aggregrator sites for mechanical engineers
So HN has been invaluable as a source of news, blogs, guides and general tips relevant to our industry.
I have a mechanical engineering colleague and was wondering if there are similar sites like HN for mechanical engineering related news. I know HN itself is a pretty rare and high quality site, but you never know.
I am aware of the reddit groups /r/engineering and /r/MechanicalEngineering, but is there any other similar sites?
- richardboegli 10y agoGreat question. I've never seen the need. Having a variety of tech sites usually gets the larger mechanical projects as everything is leading to Mechatronics anyway. Exactly what kind of Mechanical engineering specialisation are they looking at?
- kabouseng 10y agoWell they are more in the traditional mechanical engineering fields, namely petro-chemical, mining, transport, hvac etc. Or rather lets say heavy industrial. Usually these industries are serviced by trade magazines, usually you can only get a hard copy, so very little online presence, and very little community participation (forums, user submitted content etc.)
