WARRENDALE, Pa. — SAE
International launched a new website designed to be more user-friendly
and offer better navigation through its industry-specific channels. SAE
International provides relevant technical content, develops consensus
standards, offers professional development courses and hosts global
conferences and symposia for the
mobility engineering industry.
The
site —
www.sae.org — offers a new interface that provides enhanced
searching capabilities with content from SAE International’s
award-winning engineering magazines, along with full integration with
SAE International’s social media platforms.
“SAE International’s new
website is designed, first and foremost, with our members and customers
in mind,” said Bill Cariello, manager, Web Strategy and Operations, SAE
International. “The site brings together all that SAE International has
to offer, yet still enables users to customize their navigation to best
fit their professional needs.”
Visitors to the site can choose from one of three industry tabs — aerospace, automotive or commercial
vehicle.
Each industry-specific page showcases the latest news, articles, papers, standards and events for that particular segment.
In
addition, visitors can identify themselves as “professionals” or
“students,” and then quickly select the activities in which they want
to engage, including submitting a paper, joining a discussion, looking
for a job or joining SAE International.
Technical interest drop-down
menus speed visitors to the resources they need, and existing SAE
International members and customers will find a more customized MySAE
function that helps to deliver content based on the users’ preferences.
Later
this year, SAE International will introduce “EngineerXchange,” a
premium online community exclusively for SAE members to share ideas,
information, employment opportunities and best practices.
