Scholarly Resources

Guided by our rationale, CASEE will select and feature resources that we believe will benefit the engineering education community. The identification of the resources listed below is one part of CASEE's response to the challenges identified in our rationale statement. The presence or absence of any given resource does not imply a judgment about the quality of the material offered by that resource.


The following resources are available:
