McGraw-Hill Announces Development on AccessEngineering 3.0

McGraw-Hill has been a leader in providing highly valuable engineering information for more than 100 years to students and professionals. Today, its web-based platform includes such valuable resources as Perry's Handbook for Chemical Engineers, Marks' Standard Handbook for Mechanical Engineers, and Roarks Formulas for Stress and Strain. The redesigned AccessEngineering will offer this renowned engineering content displayed and amplified in the most interactive, multimedia formats in their history. Available as a desktop platform, AccessEngineering will also be accessible for tablets and smart phones providing remote access to more than 200,000 content pages, 10,000 charts and graphs and 50,000 images.

The new version will allow students, academics, and professionals to better integrate McGraw-Hill content into their workflow in new ways. It will provide visual, video, and graphical enhancements and incorporate content assets from select businesses within The McGraw-Hill Companies' portfolio.

The new platform, launching at the end of 2011, will also contain the latest engineering news from industry publications such as McGraw-Hill's Engineering News- Record; a complete library of course related problems, solutions and examples; teaching videos and animations for major engineering concepts and examples, new curriculum maps, and thousands of interactive graphs, tables, and charts.
