  5. Educational Activities Resources for Sections and Chapters • Accreditation • In the US through ABET • Outside the US through assistance to Regions and local Sections • Continuing Professional Education • E.g., CEUs • Pre-College (Pre-university) Education • A large-scale program in the process of expansion • Education about Standards (new)

  6. Accreditation in the USHow to get involved • Encourage members to volunteer asProgram Evaluators • Help accrediting Engineering and Engineering Technology programs at U.S. colleges • Host a meeting to present information about accreditation and the role of IEEE program evaluators. (IEEE and Accreditation presentation available – see below)

  7. Accreditation outside the USHow to get involved • Sponsor a workshop in coordination with IEEE EAB CGAA (Committee on Global Accreditation Activities • Acquaint local members, government officials, university leaders, and industry executives with accreditation systems • Become involved in improving accreditation in your country through IEEE • Coordinate with EAB efforts to establish new accreditation bodies where at present they do not exist

  8. Accreditation Resources: • IEEE EAB Accreditation Overviewhttp://www.ieee.org/organizations/eab/apc/overview.htm • Accreditation and IEEE Presentationhttp://www.ieee.org/organizations/eab/apc/accreditation_ieee.htm • Information about Program Evaluatorshttp://www.ieee.org/organizations/eab/apc/ctaa/evaluators.htm • To volunteer to be a Program Evaluator eab-accred@ieee.org • International Accreditationhttp://www.ieee.org/organizations/eab/apc/int_accr.htm

  9. Continuing Professional EducationHow to get involved SECTION/CHAPTER EDUCATION PROGRAMS • Develop and deliver training in the form of workshops and tutorials • Contact EAB for assistance in locating lecturers and trainers and in starting new programs and activities • Use EAB “Reference Guide for Instructional Design and Development” • Incorporate IEEE CEUs into your program • Contact EAB to coordinate provision of CEUs to program participants continued

  10. Society Education Programs • Develop training programs for Chapter officers • Best if delivered in key conferences to which a chapter chair is invited every 3 years • Coordinate Chapter activities with EAB • We need to collect and disseminate best practices • We may be able to assist with trainers/lecturers • Offer IEEE CEUs

  11. Continuing Professional EducationComing Soon XELL • On-line learning modules • 1 hour each • Voice over animated graphics • Based on best IEEE Conference Tutorials • Highly engaging/interactive • CEUs available for completion • Can be used for Section C.E. Activities • Generally available early-mid 2006
