The Engineering Pathway [http://www.engineeringpathway.com/]
is a portal to high-quality teaching and learning resources in engineering,
applied science and math, computer science / information technology, and
engineering technology and is designed for use by K-12 and university educators
and students. The K-12 engineering curriculum uses engineering as a vehicle for
the integration of hands-on science and mathematics through real-world designs
and applications that inspire the creativity of youth.
Users may search over K-12 engineering lessons and
activities, as well as other K-12 resources, by many criteria - including
content focus area, grade level and educational standards. K-12 community
resources include professional development opportunities and research findings.
Higher education resources may be discovered by multiple criteria including
discipline, audience, resource type, title, author/creator, special topics, or
by selected collection. Higher education community resources include support
for ABET accreditation, research and scholarship, curricula development and
extracurricular activities for students.
Additional features include outreach information and
materials, diversity resources, professional society and career planning
information, personalized workspace, the ability to contribute and comment on
resources, and hosted search services.
The Engineering Pathway's goal is to provide resources that
help teachers, parents, faculty, and practicing engineers to inspire more of
today's students to follow an engineering path as their way to understand and
improve the world.
