Develop challenging activities for pre-university students Form collaborative relationships with School Boards Objectives of TISP http://www.tryengineering.org
World’s largest professional association, advancing innovation and technological excellence for the benefit of humanity. What is IEEE?
IEEE Around the World 385,000 members (80,000 students) 160 countries worldwide http://www.theinstitute.ieee.org
IEEE Quick Facts 1,800 chapters unite local members with similar technical interests. 1,750 student branches at colleges and universities in 80 countries. 38 societies and 7 technical councils representing a wide range of technical interests. 144 transactions, journals and magazines. 900 conferences sponsored annually. 1,300 standards and projects under development. • Volunteerism is a core value of IEEE
Why TISP? • Developed Countries: • Flat or declining STEM enrollments (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) • Developing Countries: Insufficient number of engineers and engineering educational programs • Women & Minority: Still under-represented • Public Perception of Engineers: Largely misinformed
Rate Change of Science Degrees Awarded Fields include science, mathematics, statistics, computing, engineering, manufacturing, and construction. Levels include tertiary-type A and advanced research programmes. Source is the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development website (http://stats.oecd.org)

The Teacher In-Service Program (TISP) http://www.ieee.org/web/education/preuniversity/tispt/index.html • IEEE Section engineers develop and present technology-oriented projects to local pre-university educators • Started at the Florida West Coast Section in 2001 • Lesson plans started in English and Spanish for teachers and engineers. Now available in English, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, French, Russian, German and Japanese • Lesson plans matched to educational standards
TISP Metrics to Date • 50+ presentations • 675+ pre-university educators have participated (science, technology, mathematics) • 70,000+ students represented by educators • South Africa, Peru, Canada and China included • Over 90% of the respondents agreed: • They would use the concepts presented in their instruction • Doing so would enhance the level of technological literacy of their students
TISP Workshop Objectives To promote awareness of: Technological literacy The connections between STEM standards To provide: Hands-on demonstration of STEM topics for classroom use Information about resources available to support STEM instruction
