SCIENCE/ENGINEERING INTEREST | | | Discover Engineering Online
It's about engineers, cool stuff, games, idea center, FAQs, downloads, and links. | | National Engineers Week | EngineeringNET
Try this student resource for understanding what engineering is, what engineers do, and how to prepare for an engineering career. | | Engineering Founder Societies, including ASCE | | American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) | Building Big
Scheduled for the Tuesday evenings in October 2000 on PBS, this series of five programs explores the world's greatest engineering feats--bridges, tunnels, skyscrapers, domes, and dams. Iowa Section ASCE will provide volunteers to visit middle school classrooms for activity hours. | | WGBH, Boston | K-12 Mathematics and Science Resources
Search the site's catalog of more than 18,000 curriculum resources. The site is hosted by Ohio State University under a contract with the U.S. Department of Education. | | Eisenhower National Clearinghouse (ENC) | TryScience
Build, design, and investigate with interactive on and offline activities. Get your hands dirty with the experiments. Let TryScience inspire the engineer in you! | | IBM, the New York Hall of Science, and Association of Science-Technology Centers | A Sightseer's Guide to Engineering
When you take a trip, plan to visit sights that tell the engineering story. This web site provides visiting information for at least five sights in each state. | | National Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE) | | |

SCIENCE/ENGINEERING PREPARATION | | | Questions Students Ask Most about Engineering
These questions often are asked by middle and high school students. Explore the other links on the page, too. | | American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) | National Engineering Aptitude Search+
NEAS+ is a self-administered academic survey that enables individual students to determine their current level of preparation in engineering basic skills subjects. | | Junior Engineering Technical Society (JETS) | West Point Bridge Designer
Try your hand at designing a bridge! In conjunction with the 150th Anniversary of ASCE and the 200th Anniversary of West Point in 2002 there will be a national bridge design competition for high school students. Expect information about the competition and learning manuals at high schools by February 2001. The Iowa Section will provide engineer mentors for the competition. | | U.S. Military Academy at West Point (USMA) | Future City Competition
This competition for middle school teams involves design of a city using SimCity software. The Eastern Iowa Younger Member Group of Iowa Section ASCE will be working with Iowa middle schools later this year and in early 2002 for the competition. | | National Engineers Week | | |
