Yes Welcome to WikiProject Engineering, a collaboration area and group of editors dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of Engineering. For more information on WikiProjects in general, please see Wikipedia:WikiProject and the Guide to WikiProjects. Please nominate or vote for March's selected article and/or image on our portal. Thank you! Interested users are encouraged to add their name below and help improve this project. WikiProject Engineering General information Main project page (WP:ENGINEERING)  talk Engineering Portal talk Project navigation bar talk Project templates talk Project participants Project banner (doc) {{WikiProject Engineering}} talk Project category talk Invitation message talk Welcome message talk Project maintenance Assessments talk To do list talk Goals To improve Wikipedia's coverage of Engineering by creating, expanding, and maintaining such articles. To provide guidelines and recommendations for articles within the scope of Engineering. To serve as a point of discussion for issues related to Engineering in general in Wikipedia. To help coordinate the work of related WikiProjects. News September 9, 2007: Temporary page for WikiProject Engineering created. September 11, 2007: Moved to official Wikipedia space. November 10, 2007: Main project page expansion begins. Scope The project generally considers any article related to Engineering to be within its scope. See the following to find articles within our scope: Category:Engineering List of engineering topics List of basic engineering topics WikiProject tagged articles can be found in Category:WikiProject Engineering articles and lists. See this page for recent changes related to pages withinin this project's scope. Open tasks and guidelines Please nominate or vote for next month's selected article and/or image. Thank you!

Main articles Engineering List of basic engineering topics Aerospace | Agricultural | Architectural | Biomedical | Chemical | Civil | Computer | Electrical | Electronic | Environmental | Industrial & Manufacturing | Mechanical | Petroleum | Software | Computer-aided engineering | More New articles Cognate linkages - Kinematics Please feel free to list your new Engineering-related articles here (newer articles at the top, please). Any new articles that have an interesting or unusual fact in them, are at least over 1,000 characters, don't have any dispute templates on them, and cite their sources, should be suggested for the Did you know? box on the Wikipedia Main Page. If you would like to request the creation of a particular article, please post in the requests section. Categorization The root category for this WikiProject is Category:Engineering. Both the root categorty and its associated subcategories should be tagged with {{Engineering category}}. Please note that the major category, Category:Engineering, should be reserved for articles about disciplines of engineering, respectively, while specific individual engineering companies, engineers, concepts, etc. should be listed in the appropriate subcategories. Next, please ensure that it has the correct engineering type categories (one or more, in some cases). Here are some major categories for engineering: The main engineering categories Category:Engineers Category:Engineering awards Category:Engineering companies Category:Engineering concepts Category:Engineering disciplines Category:Engineering education Category:Engineering equipment Category:Engineering failures Category:History of engineering Category:Engineering literature Category:Engineering projects Category:Engineering research institutes Category:Engineering societies Category:Computer-aided design software Category:Computer-aided manufacturing software We also have a category for the project itself, Category:WikiProject Engineering. Images Wikimedia Commons has images of the engineering field. Many of these photos would make useful additions to many of our articles here which may be lacking adequate illustrations. Please see the Commons categories at right, or try searching on Commons since many images available there are not properly categorized yet. Issues of ongoing concern Please report vandalism, copyright violations, addition of unsourced material and edit-warring to engineering articles here: (One remark) The article Direct metal deposition has been AfD nominated as is non sourced.(but here is a source I have just found on a PDF [1] ) This is a registered trade mark, so really ought, I think, be redirected to Selective laser sintering. The technique it depends on however is call Direct laser powder deposition and I don't seem to be able to find that. So maybe that needs a mention. I am out of date on this technology. In my day, we had to make do with spaying metal or carbides through a plasma arc.--Aspro (talk) 17:24, 18 January 2008 (UTC) Please consider adding these articles to your watchlist, to help in reverting the ongoing vandalism which is certain to resume once semi-protection expires. Even during the period of semi-protection, some articles continue to be vandalized by recently registered accounts. Consider reporting users who chronically vandalize articles to Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism. If you find any other articles within the scope of this project which are being heavily vandalized (as a rough standard, over 10 vandals per day, or continual vandalism for several days such that the last 50+ edits are all vandalism and reverts, or 10+ vandalism / revert edits in 30 minutes), please report them at Wikipedia:Requests for page protection and add them to the list above. More articles or pages in need of attention could be found here at Category:Unreferenced engineering articles and Category:Engineering pages needing attention.
