Looking for good English engineering dictionary...

[michaelbeijer]

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, but here goes...

I am a Dutch-English translator and I am looking for English dictionaries on general engineering topics. Can anyone here recommend any good (preferably digital) dictionaries for someone without any actual engineering experience?

Cheers,

Michael

Here is a link to a free engineering dictionary for download. It only requires registration with McGraw-Hill (a major publisher of engineering texts)

I have this one on my computer...not bad!
