Discover Engineering
http://www.discoverengineering.org/
A monster site with all kinds of games and comics and informative bits about how oil is made into plastic, what environmental engineers are doing to protect the ocean, how jet planes are designed to fly straight up—and tons of other engineering-related fun facts. You can also find practical information about the profession in general.

A Sightseer's Guide to Engineering
http://www.engineeringsights.org/
Brought to you by the National Society of Professional Engineers and Engineers Week, this interactive map takes you on a trip around the U.S.—and details the ways engineering has helped build it. Click on New York and learn about the challenge of building the Empire State Building, or the manufacturing of kazoos at the Original American Kazoo Company in Eden, NY. Click on Montana and learn about the building of the road that connects two sides of the Glacier National Park across the Continental Divide. Each state is crammed with fun facts and info.

Engineer Girl
http://www.engineergirl.org/nae/cwe/egmain.nsf/?OpenDatabase
This bubbly site, developed with input from an all-girl advisory board from the U.S. and Canada, is part of the NAE's Celebration of Women in Engineering project. Its mission? To call national attention to the opportunity that engineering represents, especially to young women. Here you'll learn all kinds of practical information about the profession, specialties, and college programs—and find engineering-related games and puzzles.

Though geared towards kids, this APA site offers a quick rundown of city planning as a career, a few profiles of city planners and how they got to be where they are. Plus, some fun little games and factoids about cities.
