Abstract
ESCAPE is an acronym for Engineering Specific Career-Advisory Problem-Solving Environment. This computer interactive system is designed to provide individuals with information that can be used in their educational, career and life planning. Another purpose is to provide information on the types of problems and methods used by engineers to solve problems. The ESCAPE system has been developed to help undecided students learn more about engineering as a possible career. In order to do so, descriptions of the different fields of engineering and their functions in society are presented. Additionally, information is given about the organizations and publications typically read by the various types of engineers. Current data on salaries, employment opportunities, employment sector, and engineering functions are also included. Typical plans of study and descriptions of courses available at Purdue University (USA) are given so that a student can identify specific technical and general education courses needed to prepare for engineering careers. ESCAPE was originally developed using Macintosh's HyperCard stacks. To provide multimedia enhancement and multiple platform access, ESCAPE is now being developed using Mosaic through the Internet.
