The IEEE and IBM have
created a new Web site that
combines information on
engineering careers with interactive
activities.
Intended for pre-university
students, parents, teachers, school
counselors, and the general public,
TryEngineering.org lets visitors
explore how to prepare for an
engineering career,
ask experts engineering-related
questions, and play interactive
games.
The site helps to demystify
engineering with sections such as:
-
Life of an Engineer –
Various profiles of
real-life engineers highlight what
an average work day
can be like.
-
Become an Engineer –
Students can learn how
to prepare for a career in
engineering.
-
Ask an Expert –
Visitors can send an
engineering-related question to
either an engineering
undergraduate student or an
engineer.
-
Find a University –
Visitors can search
for accredited engineering and
engineering technology
degree programs in Canada and the
United States.
-
Play Games – Children
can try their hand at
virtual activities that introduce
them to basic
engineering concepts.
-
Lesson Plans –
Teachers can download
free lesson plans that are
aligned with national U.S.
education standards on a variety of
topics, such as building a
robot arm, electric motors, and
Ohm's Law.
