 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.
