SWE Internet Activities Center
In the Internet Activities Center you will find a series of Lesson Plans with hands-on and interactive computer activities designed for young women grades 5-8 and above. The materials meet the National Science Standards while introducing basic engineering skills such as drafting, using tools, deductive skills and the scientific method.

TEACH Engineering: Resources for K-12
The TeachEngineering digital library provides teacher-tested, standards-based engineering content for K-12 teachers to use in science and math classrooms.

Teacher's Domain - Engineering
Explore the wide world of engineering with innovative multimedia resources from NOVA, Building Big, ZOOM, NASA, and more. This site includes multi-media resources and lesson plans for engineering disciplines.

TEAMS
TEAMS is not a straight math competition. TEAMS involves mathematical understanding and science reasoning, as well as creativity and analytical and writing skills… much like the work of real engineers!

TekBots
The School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) is making a fundamental change in the way we teach engineering concepts to students. We're innovating teaching and learning by energizing the curriculum with exciting, hands-on platforms for learning.® Our aim is to put the fun and excitement into EECS and thus retain and inspire interest among students in engineering. Unique to Oregon State and seed-funded by Tektronix, this program helps students understand how class content is interconnected. It also gives them hands on experience in applying theoretical concepts to their robots, turning theories into realities.

TryEngineering - Manufacturing Engineering
TryEngineering.org is a resource for students (ages 8-18), their parents, their teachers and their school counselors. This is a portal about engineering and engineering careers with hopes hope it will help young people understand better what engineering means, and how an engineering career can be made part of their future.

UNITE
The UNITE program is targeted toward high school students and helps prepare them for college through summer classes. Through academic classes, hands-on activities, and team-based learning, the students explore the connections between math and science and real world applications.
