Abstract :
This paper describes an engineering outreach web page that was developed to aid high school students and others interested in engineering as a possible career. The page draws on input from engineers, engineering students and nonengineering students, and provides, in an informal and entertaining style, information about engineering, its various disciplines, education options and resources, engineering societies, employment resources and representative engineering student projects. This approach to outreach takes advantage of modern computer media technology and is more efficient than traditional outreach activities
