RSS (Rich Site Summary) Information Feeds from The Engineering Subject Centre

Our RSS information feeds mean you can feature our news and events on any website on the Internet. You simply add one line of code to your site and our information, kept up-to-date by us, will appear on your page. As well as our own feeds you can also get others provided by other Subject Centres.

Our main feeds

All RSS feeds take the general form of a list of brief summarized information with a clickable web link (where available) to a more detailed account. They don't look too good viewed directly in a browser, rather they need to be interpreted by a very simple tool available no-fuss via the web.

Engineering Subject Centre Resource Database:

The Engineering Subject Centre Resource Database is a searchable catalogue of learning and teaching resources for engineering academics.
