ESDU International

Engineering Solutions for Academia

Many major universities worldwide use ESDU International's industry standard data and software in teaching and graduate & postgraduate research projects. You too can use ESDU to equip your students with the latest tools and knowledge that industry demands.

ESDU provides a vast range of validated design and analysis methods, software and engineering information. These are key elements in many of the largest companies in the aerospace, process, structural and mechanical engineering industries. ESDU has become a fundamental learning and teaching tool for many Faculty and Students. Available online, ESDU is a hands on practical resource, complete with empirical and theoretical data, worked examples and software.

Phil Stocking, Lecturer and Senior Stress Engineer, Cranfield College of Aeronautics

"Universities must prepare students to provide practical, immediate value to industry. The demand for students to be better prepared for industry is greater than ever. Cranfield are strong in this area and recognise the contribution tools like ESDU can make in their mission."

Dr. Peter Render, University of Loughborough

"The increased availability of ESDU Data for students, including access from their rooms via the Internet coupled with the power of the search engine to rapidly locate the appropriate techniques, is significantly increasing the efficiency of their learning process."

In the development of ESDU design and analysis methodologies, our engineers collaborate with ESDU’s unbiased, international committees comprised of world renowned academics and experts from industry & research institutes. Only after a rigorous review process and unanimous approval by the committee does a methodology become part of the ESDU product.
