TWM Research is a market research firm that analyzes engineering curriculum trends. For example, we’ve recently been tracking the growth of bioengineering and nanotechnology programs and departments at engineering schools. TWM consults for the publishing industry as well as academic software companies like The MathWorks, Autodesk and National Instruments.
As an objective third party working with over 20 scientific/technical publishers, TWM Research is in a unique position to help improve the flow of information between all publishers and faculty, without favoring any particular publisher or new course text. The New Text Publications Reports are supported by the publishing industry and provided free of charge to over 250 engineering schools.
TWM Research also publishes a free annual newsletter, The Tech Text Manager, for campus bookstores. This newsletter summarizes changes in the publishing industry that directly impact bookstores—mergers, acquisitions, warehouse and returns policy changes, etc. Finally, TWM Research contributes 10% of profits annually to various charities including Habitat for Humanity, Save the Children, and The Alzheimer’s Association.
