you can store an "agent" to execute this search on whatever schedule you wish
and then email you the results. My concerns: I see no real information tell me
"who is Engineer.net".

There is a nice job board which combs the web looking for relevant job announcements and pulls them into one location for you. Some of the career articles are very targeted, like the one on applying for the PE license (I remember when my uncle did this). Soon-to-graduate
engineering students will want to look over the Guide for New Engineers, a series of articles on making that transition from academe to the real world. More experienced engineers who have been laid off will appreciate You've Lost
Your Job, Now What?. They have a few topics in each of these guides which have not yet been covered, but I assume they will get to them. Lost of good information here!
- Engineering Job Source
- ...free web pages and weekly newsletters for engineering jobs all
over the US.
- Engineering and Science Career Network
- ...a network of about 20 engineer and science associations who have made their job boards searchable through this one site.

tremendous resources and info on this group.
- TechXtra: OneStep Jobs
- "Latest Job Vacancies in Engineering, Mathematics, & Computing from Top Sources." This
is pretty cool. Yes, it's a agregator, but it operates a little differently than most of these services. First, it is limited to these specific engineering and mathematics-related areas. Second, it only includes services selected for their value, not their huge content. Third, "It is important to note that OneStep Services contain only the latest items available from a range content providers - not access to their full content." You can search all the feeds or just select those that interest you the most. TechXtra is an initiative of Heriot Watt University, Edinburgh, and was developed by staff from the Library, the ICBL and Media Services. It is a little biased towards the UK, but it's good.
