Posted By: Thelma Kastl On: 2/19/2008 11:55:48 AM Engineers have chosen what they believe is the top design challenges facing the world. The website provides a lot of interesting information as well as a video. It has several places for citizens' inputs. http://www.engineeringchallenges.org/

Posted By: Natashia James On: 2/27/2008 1:26:52 PM This webiste is amazing! I was very surprised to see the ranking to Babs. I will share this with my class as well. It gives some great new ideas and challenges for those students who are up to being challenged.
Posted By: Christian Paulino On: 3/10/2008 12:36:51 PM This website is great! My school has been pushing green technology and its benefits and this website gave some great information about how preserving what is so important. I will definitely be coming back to this site to get more information on other design challenges.
Posted By: Cecile Jenevein On: 3/12/2008 10:41:31 AM Hi Thema, I used this site again - Love, Love, Love it!!!! We completed our 2nd plant investigation lesson (we have 4 X 4 block and it is the second term with new students) that I had posted as a lesson; and we went to the "Manage the nitrogen cycle" and they loved it!!!! This is a very veritile site. Thanks.
Posted By: Robin Little On: 4/2/2008 10:04:20 PM This was a great website. I was alot more aware of some of the problems after SDI last summer. I was surprised by some of the rankings, but it certainly shows how varied the engineering needs our of our world. Althought I can't use this website as is with my students, I certainly can find a way to incorporate some of the information into lessons. Thanks for sharing!
