Some specific interests I may suggest to be added:

Industrial Design (shape and functionality of systems and objects)
Kinematics (movement interaction, sketchyphysics for example)
Mechanical optimization (FEA and other strength deformation tools)
Fluid dynamics tools (CFD, heat, aero, hydro, wind resistance, etc..)
Machining (could encompass flat (and non flat) metal, wood, 3d printing,CAM, etc..)

Mike Lucey

Thanks Michael, will update list to include your suggestions

beginner

Is it possible to include some handy filtering?
**- by city

by country
by profession/sector
by interest**
But, I assume that everything is under control.

Mike Lucey

Just collecting for the time being. We will then start figuring out how to categorize.

Count me in, Mike

Not been so active lately, but this kind of network sounds great

Mike Lucey

That's fine

I'm in too, Mike. I like this idea.
I'm not as active lately as I have been, but do consider myself a 'serious' member here.

Seconding beginner's filtering idea but adding:
by state, region, district or county

Also a few extra categories for your list:
Landscape Architecture - it's difference from landscape design is essentially scale, site complexity and formal training.

Town and urban planning (e.g. users of Thomthom's CityGen plugin)

Ecological planning, surveying and GIS (with Trimble coming on board these will likely be growth areas for SU)

Forensics and litigation

I like it! Count me in.
Is it possible to get statistics on members, like how many from each country, number of countries, number of members by age and sex grouping. I would find this interesting. It seems to be a very diverse membership. I’m new but am planning to be at basecamp 2012 so I can see for myself.

Great Idea !

I'm definitely interested. How do we sign up?

beginner

I think you/we are heading towards LinkedIn structure with some extras.
Good idea...

I would add or substitute Architectural Design with
Architecture - mainly buildings and
Small Architecture - surrounding add-ons like benches, bins enclosures, bikes store, sheds, fences, pergolas etc

What about another category like Playgrounds

Mike Lucey

Good suggestions Gregory. I will implement them.

cheffey

I would like to be a part of it.

Can we add Furniture Design?

Thanks

beginner

Hi Mike,
Some architects specialise in Bridge Design - just look - not structural aspect...

that could be under Architecture or separate category altogether.

Mike Lucey

Thanks guys for suggestions. I haven't added the last few suggestions but will shortly.
