As part of the Knowledge and Information Management project being led by Bath University, Cambridge University are undertaking a Survey on Information & Knowledge Requirements. This survey is being organised by the Engineering Design Centre at the University of Cambridge as a means of gathering the real information and knowledge needs of industry at present and into the future. Through this effort, we hope to determine how new techniques and technologies for collecting, managing, and utilising design and engineering information can improve the future design of products and services.

Designers, engineers, and managers from all of the industrial partners of the KIM Project and from the wider engineering design community of practice are being invited to participate in this survey. Our intention is to gather responses from as many businesses across as many industrial sectors as possible so that this survey will be the definitive analysis of what information and knowledge will be essential to future design and engineering work and hence to the profitability of United Kingdom companies.
