  2. About the IEEE IEEE is a global scientific and education association devoted to advancing the theory and practice of electronics and computing 37 technical Societies Vision – To advance global prosperity by: •      fostering technological innovation •      enabling members’ careers and  •    promoting community world wide

  3. IEEE CONSTITUTION: ARTICLE I – NAME, PURPOSE AND TERRITORY Sec. 2. Its purposes are: (a) scientific and educational… It shall endeavor to promote understanding of the influence of…. Technology on the public welfare.

Purposes (IEEE Bylaw I 304.4): "The IEEE Educational Activities Board (EAB) shall recommend to the Board of Directors policies on educational matters and implement programs specifically intended to serve and benefit IEEE members in educational pursuits, the engineering and scientific community, and the general public. These programs shall include the broad planning of educational activities of the IEEE, the development and delivery of continuing education products and activities, the development of guidelines for the IEEE representatives to accreditation bodies, the monitoring of accreditation activities, the coordination of pre-college programs, and the representation of the IEEE in matters regarding engineering education. The EAB shall be the IEEE interface in education-related matters with external bodies. EAB shall be responsible for administration of the annual assessment paid to the Accreditation Board for Engineering Technology (ABET)." EAB must demonstrate that it is a critical and necessary part of the IEEE by enhancing and insuring its service role to TAB and RAB - we must get closer and work with these units and their subunits, as well as with other organizational units (e.g., Standards).

  5. EAB in IEEE by-laws EAB recommends policies on educational matters to the Board of Directors. EAB implements educational programs to serve and benefit… IEEE members The engineering and scientific community The general public

  6. About EAB: Overeaching Themes Technical Excellence IEEE is known for its technical excellence. It is why IEEE has almost 400,000 global members and why other members of the public and profession are drawn to IEEE events, conferences, and publication products and services. EAB, as a service provider within the IEEE, must likewise provide quality educational products and services or refer professionals to other educational products and services that meet our standards of technical excellence through peer review. •   Contd…….2

  7. - 2 - Financially Responsible As a service provider, EAB must be responsible for its usage of IEEE resources to further the educational goals of the IEEE. EAB must help ensure that the educational products and services that we help Societies/Sections/Chapters/Standards assemble and distribute are financially viable. Profession Oriented As an IEEE unit, EAB must fulfill its mandate to serve the profession and the public Member Services As a service provider, EAB must help both TAB and RAB to better meet their members' educational needs.

Pre-College: To promote and enhance the level of technological literacy of pre-college educators and students globally. Contd……2

  9. - 2 - Continuing Professional Education: To identify and serve the educational needs of working professionals by being the resource of choice for quality educational products and services. Accreditation: To Identify and meet the accreditation needs of the profession by assisting in the establishment and Implementation of systems that assures and Improves the understanding and quality of accreditation In applied science, computing, engineering and technology. Public Awareness: To partner and collaborate with other enQineering entities in enhancing public understanding and awareness of the contributions of engineering and engineers to the global economy and quality of life. Awards: To recognize excellence and outstanding educational contributions of individuals and organizations through awards which are aligned with our educational vision and mission

  10. Planning in 2005: outline Public awareness and Pre-College Education One-stop Shop foreducational services XELL Accreditation outside the United States Continuing Education and Professional Development College Education - outside accreditation

  11. Activities in 2005 New initiative proposal 2005-2006 Engineering Center for Pre-College Education Portal for guidance counselors Tryengineering.org With a role for the virtual museum Pre-college education summit (2007) ­ Institutionalization of the Teacher-in-service program Proposal is likely to be funded

  12. Activities in 2005 Meeting with Guidance Counselors Knowledge Gap Better definition of resources GCs need E.g., web site on schools with 'screening' Identification of Continuing Education needs of GCs on engineering The profession, the opportunities Discussions with the IEEE Foundation Discussions with the Education Society

  13. Activities in 2005 Redefine the scope of EAB's activities in Continuing Education. Examine a possible outreach to conferences and selected Sections. Examine opportunities in Standards education. Address specific requests.
