A Sightseer's Guide to Engineering lists unique buildings, monuments, museums and structures by state so you can find one to visit that's close to home. And in the lower right side of their homepage, they also have a great menu that allows you to search by type of engineering (for example, mining, aerospace, computer, etc) and also by category -- under category, you can find museums, amusement parks and other locations that highlight engineering ideas.

"The assembly of the International Space Station is a major aerospace engineering endeavour being conducted in Low Earth orbit by a consortium of governmental and inter-governmental space agencies."

not much related to aviation and aerospace but the engineering and technologies are amazing

These apply to aviation and aerospace as well. "Math used in professional auto racing involves every type of math learned in school today. Math is used in every aspect of a race car's design and performance. Drivers are analyzed using every known math equation possible to determine how good a driver is on the race course. Some math concepts used in auto racing"

"Dr. Robert Lindberg, President and Executive Director of the National Institute of Aerospace, envisions a new way to introduce Engineering into the K-12 curriculum by exploring the distinctions between Science and Engineering; between the Natural World and the Designed World; and between the Scientific Method and the Engineering Design Process."
