3 – DraftSight

Draftsight is a quality freeware AutoCAD software for any prospective engineers. It lets you create, edit, view, and markup any kind of 2D drawing.

  Website

4 – ICEWeb

Disregarding the eyesore layout, ICEweb is an established website to provide Instrumentation, Control and Fire and Gas information for engineers globally.

  Website

5 – Science Daily

A personal favourite, Science Daily has many fantastic articles, spanning from “Tech” to “Enviro”.

  Website

6 – Reddit Engineering

The engineering Subreddits available are some of the best forums to share engineering related content, or ask any questions you may have for other engineers.

Each engineering field also has its respective subreddit, situated on the right hand side of the page.
