USEFUL ENGINEERING LINKS
The Tufts University Bridge Library - Professor Brian Brenner and his graduate students have decveloped a "library" of bridges that they have allowed Boston Society of Civil Engineers Outreach volunteers to take to schools. They also have an excellent website with supporting materials for their bridge library, and a plethora of other information about bridges.
The PRE-Engineering Portal - Celeste Baine, an engineer from Eugene, Oregon, has dedicated herself to enlightening students (and engineers, and everyone for that matter) to the vast world that is Engineering. Her personal website has links to tons of contests, interesting sites, and even engineering jokes.
THE ENGINEERING EDUCATION SERVICE CENTER - This website, put together by Celeste Baine, sells engineering related educational materials.
Massachusetts Pre-Engineering Program - MassPEP co-sponsors our BSCES contests and takes the lead in running the Future City Competition for New England.
THE MUSEUM OF SCIENCE PowerUp! PROGRAM - PowerUp!, a program in which the Boston Society of Civil Engineers actively participates, aims to bring technical literacy to high schools, community colleges and vocational technical schools. The Museum of Science goes above and beyond to support the crazy ideas we have, and because of their assistance, these ideas turn into real programs.
THE NORTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY NUPRIME PROGRAM - NUPrime focuses on encouraging students from minority backgrounds and young women to open their eyes to Engineering. Our contests and many of our presentations are only possible through the help of NUPrime and Northeastern University, who help us reach students and regularly provide us with function space as well as freely allow us to utilize their resources.
