On this site are links to college and university engineering education resources, K-12 Outreach, gender equity organizations, curriculum Tools, teaching resources, and more.

As a 5-year grant funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), EEES has a mission to help prepare a more diverse and talented engineering workforce. The Engineering Equity Extension Project proposes to provide national extension services to the pre-engineering and engineering communities. By bringing together expertise in gender studies, the research base on science and engineering education, we propose to "gender sensitize" the following:
• Academic preparation for engineering study for students at the middle school (grade 6) through collegiate sophomore levels
• The out-of-class social environment
• The in-class social environment
• Curricular content, curricular scope and sequence design
• Curriculum delivery and instructional style
