| Abstract | Engineering practice in the United States is changing and education needs to match those changes. One strategy for improving engineering education is to utilize a better understanding of the engineering profession. By the completion of this three year NSF project in 2010, a more refined and updated picture of engineering practice will emerge. To investigate engineering practice, we will triangulate data from surveys, interviews and ethnographic observations. To date, pilot data has been collected from thirteen surveys and three interviews. By October 2008, it is expected that five hundred surveys, forty interviews, and studies of two engineering firms will be complete. Data collected so far indicates that engineers have a strong, core identification as analytic thinkers and problem solvers. It also indicates engineerspsila desire to express creativity and learn new things in their work. As this study will examine the epistemic frame of engineering-what makes an engineer, an engineer-the research group plans to have practicing engineers evaluate how well it succeeds in documenting what it means to be an engineer. Just as these practicing engineers provide feedback on this study, we hope our work will strengthen the ties between engineering practice and engineering education. |

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.
