| Abstract | This paper discusses the changes in attitudes about engineering before and after an introductory course in engineering design offered to in-service secondary math and science teachers. The course is part of a series of courses offered through the NSF-sponsored MSP(Math and Science Partnership): Project Pathways designed to help integrate mathematic and science and can be taken as partial fulfillment of a Master's degree in Science/Math Education. An attitude survey based on the well- documented PFEAS (Pittsburgh Freshmen Engineering Attitude Survey) was administered to the teachers taking the course. The survey was given at the beginning and end of the Fall 2006 semester. The greatest difference in the teachers' attitudes was in the area of engineering being perceived as an exact science. On a 5-point Likert scale, the teachers' mean responses to the group of questions regarding engineering being perceived as an exact science had a statistically significant mean difference of -.68, p<.01. The teachers showed significant differences on three other scales as well (engineering compatibility, confidence in basic engineering knowledge and skills, and overall computer skills). Additional open-ended questions showed a gain in the teachers' general knowledge about engineering as a profession and their ability to recognize students in their courses that might be successful as engineering students following their graduation from high school. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
