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.
