Databases provide subject access to journal articles, papers, reports and other publications.You can use OneSearch, but you can save time and get more targeted search results with specialized, subject focused databases. These are some of the most useful databases for engineering research:
Compendex (Engineering Village)
From Engineering Information. Indexes over 2600 journals published worldwide in all engineering disciplines and the applied sciences. Compendex also covers conference papers, reports, and publications of engineering societies.
IEEE Xplore
Journals, conferences, and standards from IEEE.
Web of Science
Provides seamless access to Science Citation Index Expanded, Social Science Citation Index, and Arts & Humanities Citation Index. Over 10,000 journals are indexed in this multidisciplinary database. 1991 to present.
If you need articles about companies or industries, try these databases:
Look for Find It! in your search results for links to articles. 
IMPORTANT! OneSearch (search box on Library Homepage) does NOT search Compendex, our primary engineering database, and it does not search the full text of other important engineering resources such as IEEE Xplore or Knovel.
If you need articles about companies or industries or current civil engineering projects in the news, try these databases:
