I think Brandstetter dictionaries are the best.
Are expensive but very good.
Best regards

I and many of my colleaques here have found the "Engineer's Dictionary"/ Diccionario para Ingenieros" by Louis /Luis A. Robb as one of the most complete and accurate general technical dictionaries available, including terms not found in "specialized" (i.e. mining, geology, construction, electrical, etc) dictionaries.
The copy I use was published by CESCA, but as Mr. Robb is/was a member of the American Society of Civil Engineers, there are probably other publishers.

| Routledge are quite good | Apr 25, 2008 |
And you can search for the word on the CD, rather than having to browse the paper edition.
It works good to me.
All the best,
Alfredo

Sorry, but there is no single dictionary to cover your request. If they cover many fields, sometimes some fields are not well covered; it has happened many times that a translation provided by Routledge or Collazo or Robbs (I do have them all; and about 157 dictionaries and glossaries) is not used by any single Spanish speaker savvy in that specialized area. Even though, they are good dictionaries. They have to be used being critical.
Besides all of them are expensive.
Nevertheless, I would recommend you to buy, little by little, all the dictionaries recommended by my colleagues.
Kind regards
Clarisa
