  3. University Programs • US Accreditation • Online PEV Training • ABET Training Committee and Web Team Beta Testing • IEEE – SME Assessment Tool • Global Accreditation • The Caribbean Accreditation Council for Engineering and Technology (CACET) was formed and joint declaration signed establishing council as part of Caribbean Community (CARICOM) • EAB and China • Other University Activities • Academic Members needs survey currently in beta test • Real World Engineering Project (RWEP) in final round for 2008, website fully populated and promotional activities are underway • Anotehr Technical English Program scheduled for December 2008- St. Petersburg, Russia. We had one in May 2008. • Biometric Summer Series scheduled for May/June 2009 University of Toronto

  4. IEEE Certification Program Status Summary • Current programs • CSDP (live, program launched 2002) • CSDA (program was live as of May ‘08 in N.A. and Sept ‘08 outside N.A.) • WCET (program was live as of Sept ‘08 ) • Programs in development • Biometrics (finalizing BOK and recruiting committee members, exam specifications meeting scheduled for Dec ‘08) • Programs under considerations • IC Chip Design (market assessment conducted and results are under review by CEDA) • Service Innovation (planning industry roundtable to explore interest/demand) • Possible Future Programs • Systems Engineering (initial discussion with Systems Council officers will take place during Nov meeting series) • Reliability Engineer (ASQ seeking partnership for existing program; not likely because of limited program potential) • Power Engineering (no activity to date)

  5. Standards Education Program • Developing standards-related on-line Tutorials and Case Studies primarily aimed at university students and educators • SEC Accepted Proposals for 5 new tutorials and 4 new case studies • IEEE 802 Tutorial • IEEE Std 802.16 (WiMax) Tutorial • Intellectual Property Tutorial and Case Study • Metric Units: Two tutorials and three case studies • Offering mini-grants to students and faculty mentors for graduate and capstone design projects with an industry standards component. Results are published as Student Application Papers • SEC Approved 4 new proposals for projects and student application papers: • Wireless Wearable Motion Sensors for Use in Medical Care • Wireless Body Area Networks for Healthcare • Optimal Configuration for IEEE Std 802.15.4 • Hardware Firewall for Computer Networks • SEC approved new IEEE Policy Paper • The Role of Technical Standards in the Curriculum of Academic Programs in Engineering, Technology and Computing • Conducted market research in order to establish long-term plans for future standards education workshops or conferences • Looking for opportunities and subject matter experts to develop new standards-related courses for the Expert Now library

  6. Web Conferences (Webinars) • Intended to serve as a introduction to a topic • Presented by experts in the field • Pilot presented 17 October 2008 • “Introduction to Biometrics” by Arun Ross, West Virginia Univ. • Future events to be promoted for live participation • Also recorded and posted for future viewing

  7. IEEE Expert Now Summary • 75 modules currently available • 90+ modules to be available by yearend • Exploring new production partners and new learning management system opportunities • Updated acquisitions strategy focuses on topic selection based on market research and customer feedback, advanced materials, bundling of modules, and opportunities for new partnerships with content providers • 2009 Society budget allocations total $400K • We need a significant two-year investment in expanding number of Expert Now modules separate from Society sponsorship • Section-Chapter Pilot Program going well with 18 events in 2008 & another 8 planned for coming months
