MIT OpenCourseWare MIT OpenCourseWare (OCW) is a web-based publication of virtually all MIT course content. OCW is open and available to the world and is a permanent MIT activity. Through OCW, educators improve courses and curricula, making their schools more effective; students find additional resources to help them succeed; and independent learners enrich their lives and use the content to tackle some of our world’s most difficult challenges, including sustainable development, climate change, and cancer eradication.
Engineer Girl The EngineerGirl website is designed to bring national attention to the exciting opportunities that engineering represents for girls and women. Why girls and women? Because despite an increase in female participation in many traditionally male-dominated professions such as medicine and law, women remain grossly under-represented in engineering. Engineering and engineers are central to the process of innovation, and innovation drives economic growth. Diversity of thought is crucial to creativity, and by leaving women out of the process of innovation we lose a key component of diversity and stifle innovation. We want the creative problem-solvers of tomorrow to fully represent the world's population, because they will be the ones to ensure our health, happiness, and safety in years to come.
The Institute of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) WITH OVER 115,000 MEMBERS IN 140 COUNTRIES, WE HAVE BEEN AT THE HEART OF THE MECHANICAL ENGINEERING PROFESSION SINCE 1847.
The Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) We are the IET and we inspire, inform and influence the global engineering community to engineer a better world. As a diverse home across engineering and technology, we share knowledge that helps make better sense of the world in order to solve the challenges that matter. It’s why we are uniquely placed to champion engineering.
Institution of Civil Engineers Civil engineers are vital in helping provide the infrastructure that underpins everything we do. We work to help raise the profile of civil engineers, their work and professionalism, and inspire the next generation.
Institute of Marine Engineering, Science, and Technology (IMarEST) IMarEST is The Institute of Marine Engineering, Science and Technology; the international professional body and learned society for all marine professionals.
