  1. IEEE Expert Now Education Partners Program IEEE EAB MeetingIEEE Educational Activities: Past, Present and Future Douglas Gorham, Director 16 June 2007 TISP Accreditation

  2. 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

  3. 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 years Red= expanded in the last 5 years Blue= areas of focus for more than 5 years

  4. 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 years Red= expanded in the last 5 years Blue= areas of focus for more than 5 years

  5. 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

  6. Requests for Programs and Services

  7. 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

  8. 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

  9. EAD Budget & FTE History 2001-2008

  10. Expenditure Changes from 2007

  11. 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–tohave 200 modules available in partnership with 25 OUs IEEE Expert Now

  12. 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

  13. 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

  14. 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 • Conductworkshops 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
