Talk:Sports engineering

Untitled
Kayla is correct. Sports engineering is an emerging speciality in the broader field of engineering. There are universities offering degrees in sports engineering on both the undergraduate and graduate level. Programs can be found at Sheffield Hallam University (UK), TU Delft (The Netherlands), and Griffith University (Australia).MaterialGyrl (talk) 20:54, 16 April 2017 (UTC)

Sports engineering does not require an MBA and it should talk about the materials science behind sports engineering Kaylahlieuw (talk) 04:27, 14 April 2017 (UTC)

This article needs lots of expanding to really showcase the field of sports engineering. One possible improvement could be to discuss the various fields of sports engineering such as materials science, biomechanics, etc. A.anderson.20 (talk) 19:10, 15 April 2017 (UTC)

This page meets almost none of the requirements for a proper and informative wiki page-- although the definition is citied, there is no expansion or links to other pages where one could find more information. This page needs more contributions and cited research. Marisoltracy (talk) 20:42, 15 April 2017 (UTC)

The article needs expansion, and needs to cite things like "Requires a masters degree in MBA...". In addition, the page would benefit from linking to other useful information related to sports engineering. It could also serve well to list some examples of what sports engineers do.

{reply to|Material Gyrl}} This page is not very informative and lacks significant information. The page needs much more detail on what sports engineering is along with more examples of the topic. Claykirwood (talk) 19:16, 16 April 2017 (UTC)

This page needs to include much more detail. It is extremely brief and does not offer the reader much information on what sports engineering is. An improvement could be to go into detail about the materials and technologies used in sports engineering which are mentioned in the first sentence. This could just be a simple list or even a link to another website containing more information about the materials or listing the materials/technologies used. There should be more links and detail included. Georgiabeni (talk) 20:57, 16 April 2017 (UTC)

This page needs to develop more concepts surrounding sports engineering. I don't know if the statement about requiring an MBA is valid. A potential way to make this page better would be to to hyperlink some of the examples to other pages. ZoeLeonard (talk) 00:39, 17 April 2017 (UTC)ZoeLeonard

I honestly disagree with the belief that this page should be deleted, as it has been marked as in the past. I feel that there needs to be a lot of time spent in both explaining the course of study as well as the relevant career opportunities for it, since this is truly a growing industry and there are so many ways in which students can get involved with this major, and this page as it stands just isn't doing the major justice Bwhit13091 (talk) 01:42, 17 April 2017 (UTC)Bwhit13091

I think to improve this page there needs to be more elaboration about the different aspects of sports engineering. The page mentions that you need an MBA, maybe go more into detail about the aspects of that degree that are important for the job. Talking more about different examples of sports engineered products would help understand the concept better. Mgarmann (talk) 02:39, 17 April 2017 (UTC)

One thing that could improve the page is providing examples of how sports engineering has been implemented into various sports and some modern advances that have been made in sports equipment due to it. You could talk about different types of materials and how they have been used in different sports. Start with metals and alloys, then talk about plastics, elastomers, and composites.

This page lacks any specific information on more in depth detail of what is studied in Sports Engineering. Perhaps including a more in depth explanation of the field and linking it to other pages that can be included under this topic would be a good start. ryderstone (talk) 17 April 2017 (UTC)ryderstone

My colleagues are correct when they emphasize how little this page has been expanded. Furthermore, I do not think sports medicine and sports science under the "Also See" section are the optimal choices of pages that relate to what should be on this Wikipedia description of sports engineering.--Crufino1047 (talk) 03:44, 17 April 2017 (UTC)

It is obvious that this page needs a huge amount of expanding. Sports engineering is a diverse field of study that is applicable to all sports, however this page does not demonstrate that. It needs a better definition as well as more explanation on how it is applied, what sports engineers do, the effect it has had on the development of sports, etc. The examples of golf balls and turf are true, but they need to be explained and back up why those qualify as sports engineering. Maggie.pionzio (talk) 04:49, 17 April 2017 (UTC)

'Sports engineering' could benefit from a better definition that explains the breadth of what it encompasses. While it clearly has room for expansion, it brings me to wonder whether it would be beneficial to separate this subject into different pages such as Sports Design, Manufacture/Production, Economics, etc. Likely I think these would be good sub-headings in a well-expanded article, as for somebody curious about the field to be looking into 'sports engineering' from perhaps a first-stop wikipedia search, this would allow further narrowing to specific interests in the field. MSaylor802 (talk) 12:04, 17 April 2017 (UTC)

I would definitely appreciate some examples of sports engineering and how it has evolved over time would be useful for readers. Including brief sections about the development of materials and maybe more discussion of potential careers in the field would also serve a significant purpose.
