Introductions

Jennifer Ng – IEEE Ottawa TISP Championjng@ieee.org

Raed Abdullah – IEEE Ottawa Section ChairRaedAbdullah@ieee.org

Develop challenging activities for pre-university students

Form collaborative relationships with School Boards

Objectives of TISP

http://www.tryengineering.org

World’s largest professional association, advancing innovation and technological excellence for the benefit of humanity.

What is IEEE?

IEEE Around the World 385,000 members (80,000 students) 160 countries worldwide

http://www.theinstitute.ieee.org

IEEE Quick Facts 1,800 chapters

unite local members with similar technical interests. 1,750 student branches

at colleges and universities in 80 countries. 38 societies and 7 technical councils

representing a wide range of technical interests. 144 transactions, journals and magazines. 900 conferences

sponsored annually. 1,300 standards and projects

under development.

Volunteerism is a core value of IEEE

Why TISP? Developed Countries:

Flat or declining STEM enrollments (Science, Technology, Engineering,

Mathematics)

Developing Countries: Insufficient number of engineers and engineering educational programs

Women & Minority:Still under-represented

Public Perception of Engineers:Largely misinformed

Rate Change of Science Degrees Awarded

Fields include science, mathematics, statistics, computing, engineering, manufacturing, and construction.

Levels include tertiary-type A and advanced research programmes.

It helps to be… Are you ready to…

A fan of science and math who’s curious about the way things work

Spend hours building detailed, complicated systems Try, try, and try again when at first a project doesn’t succeed

Sharp of mind and quick of tongue Learn how to find and interview sources?

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 started in English and Spanish for teachers and engineers. Now available in English, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, French, Russian, German and Japanese

Lesson plans matched to educational standards

http://www.ieee.org/web/education/preuniversity/tispt/index.html

50+ presentations 675+ pre-university educators have participated

(science, technology, mathematics) 70,000+ students represented by educators South Africa, Peru, Canada and China included Over 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

TISP Metrics to Date

TISP Workshop Objectives

To promote awareness of: Technological literacy The connections between STEM standards

To provide: Hands-on demonstration of STEM topics for classroom use Information about resources available to support STEM instruction
