It gives shape to our world. Everyone knows
that things like cars, computers, airplanes,
and bridges are all products of engineering imagination. But even chewing gum, baseball bats, film special effects, roller cabotage,
and synthetic human tissue replacements. Engineers have a hand in the design, create, modify or nearly everything
that touches, wear, eat, see, hear
and in our daily lives. Their innovations fuel economic growth, strengthen national
security systems, improve patient care
and environmental
protection.
In engineering education begins
with a creative child’s first lesson in science or mathematics. The teacher giving the lesson,
and lessons
that follow, is a teacher of engineering,
and our mission at is to help engineering educators do their jobs as they can. Especially now,
with the U.S. science
and mathematics learning in decline
and technology increasingly driving global change, the job of providing this education is more difficult, but more important than ever.
The Centre for Engineering seeks to identify
and gather in one place the most effective engineering education resources available.
From comprehensive data on outreach programs for vocational guidance materials to hundreds of links and readings relating to engineering education, Engineering Center offers immediately useful, easily accessible materials tailored to all parties with an interest in engineering education.
