Jun 9, 2003

CMP Media's EE Times, the premier electronics industry news source for engineers and technical managers, announces topline results of proprietary research focused on Internet usage of more than 4,000 electronics engineers and technical managers from 40+ countries, speaking five languages.

The research, entitled, "How the Web Impacts Design", reveals the Internet usage of these engineers and technical managers as well as their diverse information needs. This year's study was conducted in February 2003, and compares activity of US, Asian and European engineers and managers. Much of this data is tracked from EE Times' 2001 Internet Usage study.

"Engineers built the Internet and use it as their primary research and design tool. This data is so robust and comprehensive, we can study an engineer's specific information needs by geography, job function and end-market," said Paul Miller, VP/CMP Electronics Group and EE Times publisher. "The recent launches of local language websites, EETimes.de and EETimes.fr, and our series of topical html newsletters, are a result of such research."

The study reveals the amount of time and type of activities spent online as well information resources, e-commerce trends and the acceptance of various online marketing techniques. This information is available free of charge to current advertisers of EE Times, based on 2003 spending levels within the CMP Electronics Group.
