Eng-Tips Forums is an English-language knowledge market website that allows users to post engineering-related questions to be answered and answer questions asked by other users.[1] The targeted audience of Eng-Tips is engineering professionals.[2]
The website's content is primarily composed of engineering forums.[3] All of the content is generated by the users of the website. The forums' subjects include several areas of engineering, including aerospace, structural, and mechanical.[4] Users of the website have the option of marking a post as helpful, flagging it as inappropriate,[5] or doing nothing with the post. Marking a post as helpful gives stars to the person creating the post. The website is designed for professional engineers and discourages students from posting homework questions.[5]
Members of the website have the option of remaining anonymous. Users who wish to receive e-mail notification of new posts are given the option of adding their e-mail address to the website.[6]
Eng-Tips was started in 1997 by the Tecumseh Group.[7] In 2015 Eng-Tips was acquired by Engineering.com, Inc. It earns money by selling advertising on the website and by e-mailing targeted advertisements to its members.[8] Eng-Tips has about 1,000,000 members.
