 The goal of NETL’s Education Program is to enhance interest in math and science and to provide resources and instructional materials. Being mindful of our goal, we realize that our commitment will contribute to a foundation for life in a scientific and technological world for our young people.

These lesson plans were developed through our Teachers in the Workplace Program. They were developed by teachers in conjunction with our technical staff. They are made available to anyone who wants to include them in their science curriculum.

Get a Life DVD and Videos: This resource features technical occupations in construction and architectural field areas and presents 2+2+2 pathways through these areas.  The DVD and Videos are available for free but they do ask for a  donation to cover mailing fees etc. There is also a curriculum guide that goes along with it. Might be of interest for those of you involved in civil or architectural engineering/technology programs.

The Sloan Career Cornerstone Center (SCCC) has announced that the non-profit career resource website (www.careercornerstone.org) will be expanded over the next 18 months to offer additional resources for exploring career paths in engineering, engineering technology, and the life sciences. The site currently is broadly used by middle school, high school, and university level career counselors, students, teachers, and parents who are seeking objective information about career paths in mathematics, physical sciences, and several engineering degree fields. SCCC already contains a myriad of downloadable PDF files and online resources that provide a detailed look into career path options. The site also includes pre-college materials, salary and university information, and profiles of the lifestyles and career paths of over 400 professionals working in their fields.
