SEC Mission
1. Promote the importance of standards in meeting technical, economic, environmental, and societal challenges
2. Secure and disseminate learning materials on the application of standards in the design and development aspects of educational programs
3. Secure and provide short courses about standards needed in the design and development phases of professional practice
4. Actively promote the integration of standards into academic programs
5. Lead other education initiatives planned jointly by EAB and the SA as needed

What is IEEE Standards Education?
Educating students about standards– their critical role in the workforce and society
Providing resources for students – to help with the inclusion of technical standards into their studies
Teaching the open standards development process – to provide understanding of the intersection of economics,
technology, and politics that are integral to standardization
– The ‘who’, ‘what’, ‘where’, ‘why’ and ‘how’ of standards
Providing resources for university professors– to facilitate the incorporation of standards topics into their courses
Continuing efforts to more widely influence the inclusion of technical standards into university curricula
Delivering technical content about specific areas of standardization04/21/235
Audience for Standards Education
For those in the fields of engineering, technology, and computing (ETC), business, economics, and law
– College and University Educators
– Undergraduate and Graduate Students
– Professionals

Key Challenges & Opportunities
04/21/239
By-directional education– Bridging the worlds of standards, policy and engineering
education, to ensure each recognizes the importance of the other, and providing tools to support educators talking about standards and standards and policy professionals informing the needs of education
Building critical mass– SEC supports a number of initiatives which individually
have strong support and positive feedback. How can these initiatives be leveraged to provide worldwide support for everyone who wishes to access our support?
