Engineering Pathway is a portal to high-quality teaching and learning resources in applied science and math, engineering, computer science/information technology and engineering technology, for use by K-12 and university educators and students.

The ASEE EngineeringK12 Center seeks to identify and gather in one place the most effective engineering education resources available to the K-12 community. It works to enhance achievement in pre-college science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education by promoting the effective application of engineering principles to K-12 curricula.

The TeachEngineering collection provides educators with *free* access to a growing curricular resource of multi-week units, lessons, activities and living labs. Initiated by the merging of K-12 engineering curricula created by four universities, the collection continues to grow and evolve over time with new additions from other universities, and input from teachers who use the curricula in their classrooms.

Engineers are all too often stereotyped as number-crunchers who toil alone in cramped offices and laboratories working with complex equations and calculators. In fact, most of the women and men who become engineers do so because they want to do meaningful work that will help make the world a better place.

Everywhere you look there are things that have been engineered--from medical instruments that save the lives of babies born prematurely to every single part of a Boeing 747 aircraft. From software that is easier to use, to rivers that are flowing at rates more favorable to endangered fish, to bridges and buildings that are safer for humans--engineers have a hand in shaping the world for the better.

Engineers are dreamers, people who come up with creative, new ideas and are inspired to turn these ideas into reality.
