  2. A Few Words about IEEE • IEEE is the world’s largest professional association dedicated to advancing technological innovation and excellence for the benefit of humanity • More than 395,000 members in more than 160 countries • A non-profit organization incorporated in New York • Originally concentrating on power engineering and communications IEEE was designed to serve professionals involved in all aspects of the electrical, electronic and computing fields and related areas of science and technology that underlie modern civilization

  3. IEEE at a Glance • More than 395,000 members in more than 160 countries; 45 percent of whom are from outside the United States • More than 90,000 student members • 331 sections in ten geographic regions worldwide • 1,952 chapters that unite local members with similar technical interests • 1,855 student branches in 80 countries • 483 student branch chapters at colleges and universities • 338 affinity groups - IEEE Affinity Groups are non-technical sub-units of one or more Sections or a Council. The Affinity Group patent entities are the IEEE-USA Consultants' Network, Graduates of the Last Decade (GOLD), Women in Engineering (WIE) and Life Members (LM)

  4. What is IEEE? • A membership organization • A major creator and guardian of technical Intellectual Property • A mechanism to bring people of common technical interests together • both geographically and disciplinarily • A guardian of the future of Engineering • An implementer of technology-related public imperatives

  5. What does IEEE do? • Annually publishes 140 transactions, journals and magazines in engineering, technology and computing • Sponsors more than 900 conferences each year • Develops technical standards • Approximately 900 active standards and 400 standards in development • Gets engineers and technologists from different locations together

  6. What does IEEE do? Cont’d • Organizes and supports professional activities among engineering students • Educates the public about Engineering

  7. Core Values • Service to humanity: leveraging technology and engineering to benefit human welfare; promoting public awareness and understanding of the engineering profession. • Global focus • Trust and respect • Growth and nurturing of the profession: encouraging education as a fundamental activity of engineers, scientists, and technologists at all levels and at all times; ensuring a pipeline of students to preserve the profession. • Collaboration and community building • Professionalism • Intellectual activity • Peer-reviewed

  8. IEEE volunteers • Key to IEEE success • About 40,000 individuals who give at least 4 hours a week to the organization • Local Section Chair • Associate editor of a Journal • Member of the Financial Committee of the Technical Activities Board • Chair of a committee that develops a Standard • Student Branch Chair • The organization is run by volunteers • From the President and CEO to the local Section Chair major decisions are made by volunteers • An attempt to quantify the work done by volunteers estimated $2000m-$3000m

  32. Where to find the IEEE on the Web The main page of the IEEE www.ieee.org This is your one stop shop for all IEEE news and programs

  33. The Teacher In Service Program (TISP) • Training IEEE volunteers to work with pre-university teachers • Based on approved Lesson Plans • Prepared/reviewed by IEEE volunteers • Tested in classrooms • Designed to highlight engineering design principles

  34. Oporto, Portugal, 13-14 Nov 2010 • A training session for student branch leaders • Based on the success of the student branch session in Piura, Peru in 2007

  35. Teacher In Service Program (TISP) IEEE Volunteers • Train volunteers • IEEE Section Members • IEEE Student Members • Teachers and Instructors • …using approved lesson plans on engineering and engineering design (71 English; 34 Português; 45 Castellano) • IEEE members will develop and conduct TISP training sessions with Teachers • Teachers will conduct training sessions with Students Teachers Students

  36. Our Overall TISP Goals • Empower IEEE Section and Student Branch “champions” to develop collaborations with local pre-university education community to promote applied learning • Enhance the level of technological literacy of pre-university educators • Encourage pre-university students to pursue technical careers, including engineering • Increase the general level of technological literacy of pre-university students • Increase the level of understanding of the needs of educators among the engineering community • Identify ways that engineers can assist schools and school systems

  37. Teacher In-Service ProgramPresentations • Over 142 TISP presentations have been conducted by IEEE volunteers • TISP presentations have reached over 3252 pre-university educators • This reach represents more than 354,000 students each year • Presentations have taken place in at least 14 countries

  38. IEEE Volunteers Teachers Students What are we going to do here today and tomorrow?

  39. What are we going to do here? • Demonstrate four (4) lesson plans: • “Build Your Own Robot Arm” • “Critical Load” • “Build a Better Candy Bag” • “Working With Wind Energy” • Discuss trends in pre-university education • Develop action plans to implement TISP • Have Fun!

  40. The Basic Approach – Lesson Plans • IEEE volunteers and consultants develop lesson plans that highlight an engineering design topic • How to build a balanced mobile (rotational equilibrium) • How to design a sail for a ship (aerodynamic design) • The lesson plans are geared toward pre-university teachers and their students and are tested in the classroom • Materials are low cost - $50-$100 USD for a class of 30

  41. European Framework for Key Competences for Lifelong Learning • The Reference Framework sets out eight key competences: • Communication in the mother tongue; • Communication in foreign languages; • Mathematical competence and basic competences in science and technology; • Digital competence; • Learning to learn; • Social and civic competences; • Sense of initiative and entrepreneurship; • Cultural awareness and expression.

  42. What the Lesson Plans Support • Communication in the mother tongue • Skills to communicate both orally and in writing in a variety of communicative situations and to monitor and adapt their own communication to the requirements of the situation. • Mathematical competence and basic competences in science and technology • ability to develop and apply mathematical thinking in order to solve a range of problems in everyday situations • Ability to recognize the essential features of scientific inquiry and have the ability to communicate the conclusions and reasoning that led to them.

  43. Volunteer Training • Key questions to be discussed in training: • How to conduct a training sessions for teachers using the TISP lesson plans? • How to approach the school system to engage teachers? • Teachers and officials from the education establishment participate in the training sessions

  44. After The Training… • IEEE volunteers work with the local schools and school system to conduct training sessions for teachers • IEEE participates in paying for the program • In the first year, EAB pays for the materials and supplies needed for TISP sessions for teachers • In subsequent years, funding is the responsibility of the IEEE Section and Student Branch
