Computer Science & Software Engineering: Research Guide: Drexel University Libraries

Computer Science & Software Engineering

This page focuses on resources which have specific usefulness to the Computer Science and Software Engineering communities. However, many general, interdisciplinary engineering resources are useful for all engineers, regardless of their specialty. For example, Engineering Village 2 is a superb database for scholarly articles, handbooks, patents, standards, and more. For general engineering resources, please see our Fundamentals of Engineering Research guide.
