Internet Usage Paper

Internet Usage Paper

Billi Williams

October 10, 1999

For this paper we were to use three different search engines to find web sites that interested us that apply to our area work. I choose two that were relatively common and then one that is probably not very well known.

Yahoo (www.yahoo.com)

Lycos (www.lycos.com)

Dog Pile (www.dogpile.com)

Below you will find my results.

On Yahoo

National Tooling & Machining Association – www.ntma.org

An informative web page that was easy to use. This organization is similar to SME in that it helps its members find information and stay up on current trends in their profession.

Plastic Resources – www.plasticresources.com

I thought was a good web site to understand the wide range of tools that can be built. These range from blow molding, vacuum forming, to injection molding.

On Lycos

Women’s Advisory Committee To the Dean of Engineering – www.egr.msu.edu

This was an interesting page just not what I was looking for but it did lead me to the following page.

The Society of Women Engineers – www.swe.org

This was very interesting. It is similar to the SME organization but with the focus of helping women as engineers and also leaders.

East Tennessee State University, Dept. Of Eng. – www.etsu.edu/scitech/entc

I came across this page while searching for different engineering department. This is the collage that I received my undergraduate degree.

On Dog Pile

North American Tool Corporation – www.natool.com

This site was interesting in that it showed some of the tools that I use every day in my job. It allowed you to look at the tools and get more information about them.

All three search engines that I used were all helpful and easy to follow. Even the Dog Pile engine that I had only heard but had never used was not that difficult to catch on to how it worked. To make this page I used Microsoft Word and then saved it as a htm file. I then did my final editing in the Netscape Composer.
