Today, we’re proud to announce the launch of Careers for Engineers, a new, free EiE resource. As part of this launch, we want to take you inside our development process to explore why we created Careers, what the project entails, and how you can use it in the classroom.

Since we’ve traditionally focused on engineering, the inclusion of this new discipline raised a question: how could we update our “Engineering Habits of Mind”—a set of thought patterns that people use while engineering—so they applied to computer science as well?
