University Outreach Update IEEE Standards Education Committee 5 November 2010 Susan K. Tatiner
Developments in University Outreach Since September • University Outreach presentation developed • Including discussion topics • Presentation and topics piloted during Beijing outreach • Refinements and customizations expected • Including recent feedback from Wael Diab • Outreach meetings in Beijing, China • Tsinghua University • Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications (BUPT) • China National Institute of Standardization (CNIS)
Outreach in Beijing, 28-29 October • Tsinghua University • Zhisheng Niu, PhD • Deputy Dean, School of IT and Technology • Active IEEE member • Director, Conference Publications, IEEE ComSoc • Yun He, PhD, Professor of EE Dept, Tsinghua U • Tiejun Huang, PhD, Professor, School of EE and CS, Peking U • + students • Knowledgeable about standardization • Want to bring a China national standard (the AVS standard) to IEEE through Signal Processing Society
Outreach in Beijing (cont’d) • Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications • Zhang Lin, Associate Professor • Zheng Kan, PhD, Associate Professor • + one more w/o business card • Active in standards development • Stressed need for education on the process at the graduate level • CNIS • Bai Dianyi, Deputy Chief Engineer • Zhao Wenhui, Assistant Researcher • MOU in place • Very interested in partnering with us on future workshops, courses, seminars • Good connections with Chinese faculty
First Cut: Major Opportunities Identified • Summer courses • Two-week courses are offered in summer at most Chinese universities. • Graduate level. • IEEE-developed Summer Course on standards and standardization was suggested by both Tsinghua and BUPT. • Guest speakers on standards topics during regular semesters • Professors may feel unprepared to give a lecture on one of these topics and welcome chance to bring in an expert. • Speaker combined with packaged material would be a winning combination.
Major Opportunities (cont’d) • Mini-Grants and Student Application Papers • All thought this could be very popular program in China. • Chinese translation of the flyer possible? • Clarify that standards used do not have to be IEEE. • More detail and many action items to be culled from notes and worked on with the University Outreach Ad Hoc.
Future Outreach • November 2010: DeVry University. Jennifer McClain has a contact at the New Brunswick, NJ, campus. She and Susan Tatiner are hoping to visit this month. • February 2011: Chicago Workshop with the Chicago Section. Planning is underway. Amin Karim and Howard Wolfman are leading this effort. • February 2011: SA BOG is going to 3 cities in India, and university visits are being planned. India Ad Hoc and University Outreach Ad Hoc will collaborate. • Stanford U and UC Berkley: Wael Diab has contacts at both schools and is hoping to arrange visits. • March 2011: SA CAG is going to Europe and there may be time for some university visits. Susan will work with Mary Lynne Nielsen to arrange. • Summer 2011: Pilot standards course opportunity at Tsinghua University or Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunication, as discussed.
