Research new uses of science and technology to enhance social welfare

5

Historically…

IEEE 6

Engineering education focused on training graduates for domestic employment because language, cultural, and political barriers isolated markets from one another

Engineering graduates often work for large multi-national corporations as members of diverse and geographically dispersed project teams

Advances in logistics,

communication and computer

technology

Positive changes in the socio-political

landscape

Speed the globalization of the worldwide

economic engine

Engineering Education

response to Globalization• Researching pedagogical methods for

using the same enabling technologies that

led to globalization as tools in both

– on-campus

– virtual classrooms

IEEE 77

This research is widely

documented

The role of Professional

Associations• International professional associations can

be leaders in cooperation between countries

IEEE

Facilitating definitions

Creating standards

Implementing engineering education across

• Political

• Social

• Geographic boundaries

11

• Definition. A society is

– "a structured community of people bound

together by similar traditions, institutions, or

nationality"

– "an organized group of people who share an

interest, aim, or profession”

IEEE

Engineering Societies

12

Engineering Societies

• The associative view of professionally

involved people can be reproduced in any

field of human behaviour including:

– technical work

– sports

– recreational topics

– and volunteer aspects of life

IEEE 13

History

IEEE

Start as local organizations

ES merged with other business-

oriented societies to strengthen their presence and have

a better future

Growing brought Internationalization

Rearrangement of objectives and cooperation in

some fields while competing in others

14

Professional Societies

• IEEE, an organization focused on

electrical, computer, and electronic

engineering

• ASME, an organization focused on

mechanical engineering

• ACM, an organization focused on

computer science and informatics

IEEE 15


• IFAC, an organization focused on control

engineering

• ISES, an organization focused on solar

energy engineering applications

• A few of these organizations retain the

word "American" in their names

• But in general have a global view and

work toward commonality around the

world

IEEE 1717

Some are not globalized

• A vision more closely tied to a cultural or

geographic area, sharing similar objectives

• Each focuses on the unique attributes of

their regional members

– SEFI, an organization focused on engineering

education applications in Europe

– FACU, an organization focused on university

professor issues in Spain

Globalization versus

Glocalization• A focus on globalization has advantages

because the worldwide community works

to develop products with commonalities so

that they can share those applications and

ideas in any part of the world

• Challenges appears when implementing

activities because of cultural, social, or

political differences

IEEE 87

Globalization vs. Glocalization

IEEE

Challenges

Cultural differences

Social differences

Political differences

88

Globalization vs. Glocalization

• Glocalization tries to avoid these

challenges by including

– local cultural information

– social views

– low level local management plan in the design

of any global product or service

IEEE 8989

Glocalization goal

• Keep focus with the worldwide people

grouped in the society

• The different cultural and local

vision can add some unique

approaches that are more adjusted

to the specific needs of the local

group

IEEE 90

Glocalization examples

• TISP - Teacher In-Service Program

Training

– where IEEE is trying to improve the total

worldwide number of young students attracted

to study engineering

– based on a "train the trainers" model. It

focuses on helping teachers in the secondary

level acquire the capacities and competences

to introduce engineering in the classroom

IEEE 91

TISP

• General program was initiated and

developed inside the IEEE headquarters

• Plan for the local implementation is

developed at the local section site

• Sharing and adapting at the same time the

most successful practices from other

geographic areas

9292

TISP application

• United States

• South Africa

• In expansion

– African countries

– Portugal

– Spain

– Saudi Arabia

IEEE 93

TISP

• Local flavor based on their geographical

area when developing examples and

methods:

– Some places: Robots (because local industry)

– Others: Wi-Fi or communications systems

– Developing countries: infrastructure and food

production

IEEE 9494

Other uses of TISP

• Continuing education for

senior IEEE members

• To help them stay current and increase

their interest in community service by

introducing teachers to new engineering

topics

Conclusions

• In addition to technical knowledge, today's

engineering educators must provide

students with key knowledge of

– cultural, social, and political issues

– needed to succeed in the modern

global engineering marketplace

IEEE 9797

Conclusions

• This requires a level of continuing

education for teachers

• International engineering professional

societies plan and implement a number of

continuing education products that can

help educators stay current

IEEE 9898

Conclusions

• As an example, IEEE

– Publishes standards and best practices

published

– To help educators ensure worldwide

continuity

• In some countries, IEEE plays a role in

curriculum design and accreditation

IEEE 9999

Conclusions

• Recruiting and retention programs

developed by IEEE help educators learn

effective techniques to encourage youth to

become engineers

• So that their country and the world

continues to advance

IEEE 100100

Conclusions

• Continuing education products and peer-
