September, 2007 Technizzel http://www.technizzel.com/
From the creators-
Technizzel is a website geared toward high
school and college students. The purpose is to address the growing
concern among educators that there is a lack of American students
obtaining engineering degrees. The goal is to inspire young students
to pursue interests in science and engineering. We have a team of
writers who contribute articles once a week on everything from what a
chemical engineer might do on a given day to the software integration
in the iPhone. Essentially, Technizzel aims to debunk the myth that"engineering isn't cool". There is an additional link on our Technology Education/Engineering Classroom Resources page, click here for the link.
