| The Sloan Careers Cornerstone program has had the goal of informing high school and college students about the nature of work in various careers that are pursued by graduates in mathematics, science, and engineering fields. The program supports a website (www.careercornerstone.org) that is widely accessed by students, counselors, teachers, and faculty. The aim of this grant is to move Cornerstone towards becoming the premier and preferred site for career information for those interested in science-related careers. An Advisory Committee will be established to approve removal of out-of-date career materials and addition of new materials to the existing Cornerstone website. It will also approve the addition of new disciplines not presently represented, such as industrial, nuclear, and aeronautical engineering, bioengineering and other disciplines based in the life sciences, such as biology and applied areas like nursing. A long-range plan will be developed to strengthen the entire Cornerstone series and its website so it becomes the source of the best-known and most-accessed information about science-based careers.
