- Are there any engineering data repositories available where I can deposit and access data as needed?
- I am trying to find well published collaborators from different institutions to work on a project related to Structural Health Monitoring. How can I find them?
- How do I refine my searches so that I do not have to go through hundreds of citations to pull up relevant papers?
- How do I set up alerts in Engineering Village so that I can find the latest papers presented at various conferences or papers published in journals?

- I am graduating this year and I want to expand my search to find companies that might be interested in my areas of expertise. What are some ways of finding them?
- I would like to continue my PhD on a topic related to Smart Cities and Smart Grids at Virginia Tech. I need to find a faculty adviser there. How do I go about finding a possible professor who can guide me in my dissertation?
- I have started writing my PhD thesis, but I also need to refer to relevant PhD dissertations from other institutions. How can I get them in Full Text?
