Professional Engineering Publishing launches new Journal of Sports Engineering and Technology Professional Engineering Publishing, publishers to the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, has launched the Journal of Sports Engineering and Technology, which will commence publication in 2008. The journal will form Part P of the Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. The launch of this journal comes at a time when academic activity within Sports Engineering and Technology is on the increase. Many Universities, over 20 in the UK alone, offer undergraduate degree programmes in Sports Engineering or Sports Technology. Coupled with the increasing number of global sports engineering associations this is a discipline that is flourishing. Professor Mike Caine, Loughborough University, has been appointed Editor of the new journal. Professor Caine commented: "There can be no better home for the Journal of Sports Engineering and Technology than that of the Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. I am delighted that the IMechE have elected to publish such a contemporary journal within their Proceedings." The Journal of Sports Engineering and Technology aims to become the publication of choice for authors seeking to disseminate original research findings related to the development or application of technology in sports. The scope of the journal includes but is not limited to papers on: * Equipment used for competition, training, rehabilitation and coaching * Sports equipment related design and innovation (the ideation process, concept creation, embodiment refinement, design for mass manufacture and for sustainability) * The development and validation of instrumentation, processes or software to enhance research activities within sports engineering and technology The Journal of Sports Engineering and Technology will be available as a combined print and online subscription in 2008.
