Agenda Introductions & Contacts TISP Objectives IEEE Overview TISP Overview Q&A
Introduction & Contacts Jennifer Ng – TISP Champion jng@ieee.org Raed Abdullah – Ottawa Section Chair RaedAbdullah@ieee.org
TISP Objectives Demonstrate the application of engineering concepts to support the teaching and learning of science, mathematics and technology disciplines
TISP Objectives by Developing challenging activities for pre-university students Forming collaborative relationships with pre-university /college educators Holding professional development workshops aimed at helping teachers bring exciting hands-on engineering lessons into their classrooms
About IEEE world’s largest professional association advancing innovation and technological excellence for the benefit of humanity.
IEEE Quick Facts > 375,000 members (including > 80,000 university and college students, in over 160 countries) 329 Sections in 10 geographic regions worldwide – Canada is one region and Ottawa is one of the Sections in that region. 1,860 chapters amongst all the Sections that unite local members with similar technical interests. Chapters represent one or more of the 38 societies and seven technical councils representing the wide range of technical interests. > More than 1,750 student branches at colleges and universities in 80 countries that are part of a Section. Publish 144 transactions, journals and magazines. Sponsors > 900 conferences annually Developing nearly 1,300 standards and projects Stats as of Dec. 31/’08
IEEE Ottawa Quick Facts > 2,000 members across Gatineau and Greater Ottawa 18 Chapters 4 Affinities Most active section in the world. Volunteerism is a core value of IEEE
TISP Overview • Why TISP? • Flat or declining sceince, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) enrollments in most developed nations • + disappointing youth performance in mathematics • Insufficient number of engineers and engineering educational programs in most developing countries • Asia is accelerating no. of engineers per capita • Women & minority students still under-represented • Public perception of engineers/ engineering/ technology is largely misinformed • Results in early decisions that block the path of children to STEM fields
Percentage of Science Degrees Awarded Source: Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development Science degrees include life sciences, physical sciences, mathematics, statistics, computer sciences, engineering, manufacturing, and building
BS Degrees Awarded (US) Source: U.S. Department of Education, National Center for Education Statistics

The Teacher In Service Program (TISP) • 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 (most) now available in English, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, French, Russian, German, and Japanese for use by teachers and engineers • Lesson plans matched to educational standards • URL • http://www.ieee.org/web/education/preuniversity/tispt/index.html • (or go to www.ieee.org and search “TISP”)
TISP Metrics To Date • 50+ presentations to date • > 675 pre-university SMET educators have participated • These educators represent > 70,000 students • Recent countries include South Africa, Peru, Canada and China • > 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
