Using the National Engineering Education Delivery System as the Foundation for Building a Test-Bed Digital Library for Science, Mathematics, Engineering and Technology Education

两个关键的国家科学基金会报告，系统工程教育改革：一个行动议程和塑造未来：本科教育的科学，数学，工程和技术的新期望，敦促形成一个国家资源，提供优质的课件和传播成功的教育实践。 自20世纪90年代初以来，NEEDS国家工程教育提供系统为工程教育界提供了这些服务。 在此基础上，该项目将。 开发科学、数学、工程和技术教育（SMETE）的试验台数字图书馆。 图书馆将提供课件，编目，索引，搜索和下载的科学和数学社区。启动中小企业数字图书馆社区的发展。评估测试台库。根据需求评估和试验台评价，为继续发展中小型企业数字图书馆提出建议。

Two key National Science Foundation reports, Systemic Engineering Education Reform: An Action Agenda and Shaping the Future: New Expectations for Undergraduate Education in Science, Mathematics, Engineering, and Technology, urge the formation of a national resource to provide access to quality courseware and to disseminate successful educational practices. Since the early 1990s, NEEDS the National Engineering Education Delivery System has provided these services for the engineering education community. Building on this base, this project will. Develop a test-bed digital library for science, mathematics, engineering, and technology education (SMETE). The library will provide courseware, cataloging, indexing, searching, and downloading to the science and mathematics communities. Initiate the development of a SMETE digital library community. Evaluate the test-bed library. Develop recommendations for the continued development of a SMETE digital library based on a needs assessment and test-bed evaluation.
