Engineering and technology is involved in every aspect of society. Think about the interdisciplinary aspects of your research -- try a database with a disciplinary focus to find relevant research to support your project. For example, if you are working on research that involves "tissue engineering", you would use a medical or health sciences related database such as BioMed Central. You can see a list of NJIT's research databases on the NJIT Library A-Z databases page. Sort them by subject to find extra-disciplinary databases that can help you find more research on your multidisciplinary project.
Take a look at the complete collection of NJIT Library Research Guides to get advice on finding research in another discipline.
