IEEE EAB Meeting
IEEE Educational Activities: Past, Present and Future
Douglas Gorham, Director
16 June 2007
Educational Activities
Goal To be the resource of choice on
education in engineering, computing and technology for IEEE members, the profession, and the pre-university and university education communities
What does EAB do? (1) Pre-university education
Tryengineering.org Teacher in Service Program (TISP) “So you want you to be an engineer” Outreach to educators and school counselors Section database for activities in pre-university education
University education Accreditation in the United States Global accreditation Development of Model Curricula Student Retention: Women in Engineering Education about Standards
Green= new in the last 5 yearsRed= expanded in the last 5 yearsBlue= areas of focus for more than 5 years
What does EAB do? (2) Post-university education
Continuing education IEEE Education partners, IEEE Expert Now,
CEUs Certification
Biometrics
Awareness of Engineering and Public Education
Green= new in the last 5 yearsRed= expanded in the last 5 yearsBlue= areas of focus for more than 5 years
Trends
Wide expansion in all areas
Increased requests/demands for services
Institutionalization of successful initiatives IEEE Expert Now, TryEngineering, Global Accreditation,
TISP
Operationalization of “routine” educational activities
Model curricula Support of Certification Education about Standards
Requests for Programs and Services
Who Area Examples
Sections and Regions
Pre-university, university, post-university, standards
Section use of IEEE Expert Now; education about Standards; TISP
ECE Educators University-level, standards, accreditation
Use of the Standards in Education Portal
Pre-university educators
Pre-university, including training
Training of school counselors
Users/
members
University-level (on-line) Questions from undergraduate students in Ask An Engineer
IEEE-USA Post-university IEEE Education Partners
New and expanding services (1)
University-level material on TryEngineering Resulting from the success of the portal
Training of program evaluators outside the US Resulting from the success of Global Accreditation
initiative
Accreditation work in China, the Caribbean, and Peru
Accreditation.org The ultimate resource on accreditation in
Engineering, technology and computing
New and expanding services (2)
Biometrics model curricula and certification
Standards modules and Standards education At both University and Post-university levels
“One-stop shop” for on-line IEEE educational offerings
Education at the Section level using IEEE Expert Now
Women in Engineering; student retention

University Activities
Certification
EAD in 2008-2009 Global Accreditation– to assist at least 2
countries to be positioned to conduct accreditation in their country.
A biometrics engineering certification program is established.
Education Partners Program– to have 100 partners
IEEE Expert Now–to have 200 modules available in partnership with 25 OUs
EAD in 2008-2009 Cont’d
TryEngineering.org– accreditation and undergraduate engineering sections are added. 200 lesson plans for teachers and volunteers are available
Organize and host on-line continuing education offerings across IEEE OUs
Conduct at least 3 TISP training workshops per year
Develop a comprehensive promotional program to feature the work in EA
EAD Beyond 2009
A comprehensive certification program is in place that addresses current opportunities and identifies additional certification needs
Institutionalizing a conference involving industry, government and academia to address shortages of engineers and their teachers
IEEE Standards are developed in conjunction with a training module for users
WIEC is implementing effective strategies to allow them to be “out of business” in 15 years
EAD Beyond 2009 Cont’d
Our current EAB/WIE new initiative (Real World Engineering) is institutionalized as an ongoing program
The lesson plans developed for TryEngineering are converted into a publication
Conduct workshops and summer programs on emerging technologies, that result in model curricula and IEEE Expert Now modules
Create a publication for students in conjunction with Pubs
