Outline
Our Organization: IEEE IEEE’s Educational Activities Why is IEEE interested in promoting
engineering in the pre-university education system in Uruguay?
What do we plan to do in this workshop What are the long term benefits and
expectations?

Our Organization – IEEE An international professional association dedicated to
the theory and practice of electrical, electronics, communications and computer engineering as well as computer science, the allied branches of engineering,
and related arts and sciences
Established 125 years ago Operating in 150 countries Has approximately 380,000 members
The largest technical professional association in the world $350M annual budget Headquarter in New York City, NY, USA
Employs approximately 1000 staff members

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
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
$2bn-$3bn

IEEE’s principal activities (1)
Organizing the professional communityBased on geographic distribution and areas of
interest
Publishing technical and scientific literature on the State of the Art
Organizing conferences on relevant technical and scientific matters
+ 8
IEEE’s principal activities (2) Developing technical standards
Approximately 900 standards at present
Developing educational activities for professionals and for the public Including students and teachers in the pre-university
system
Improving understanding of engineering technology and computing by the public
Recognizing the leaders of the profession Awards and membership grades
+ 9
What are we trying to do… …advance global prosperity by
Fostering technological innovation Enabling members' careers Promoting community worldwide
for the benefit of humanity and the profession
• Key to success: early recognition of new fields• In 1884 – power engineering• In 1912 – communications• In 1942 – computing• In 1962 – digital communications • In 1972 – networking • In 1982 – clean energy • In 1992 – nanotechnology • In 2002 – engineering and the life sciences
+ 10Sample Activities: Regional Organizations
IEEE organizes professionals in its fields of interest into local Sections There are 330 local Sections worldwide
Uruguay has a single Section
200 members – including 42 undergraduate students and 15 Graduate Student Members
32 Senior Members
48 members of the IEEE Computer Society 29 members of the IEEE Communication Society 22 members of the IEEE Power and Energy Society

Why is Uruguay of Interest to IEEE Educational Activities?
+ 32
OECD PISA Program
OECD = Organization for Economic Cooperation and DevelopmentEstablished 196130 Countries Budget: Euro 303M
PISA = Programme for International Student Assessment
+ 33
Objectives of PISA
Are students well prepared for future challenges? Can they analyze, reason and communicate effectively? Do they have the capacity to continue learning throughout life? Surveys of 15-year-olds in the principal industrialized countries. Every three years, it assesses how far students near the end of
compulsory education have acquired some of the knowledge and skills essential for full participation in society
Uruguay is not an OECD member but it participated in PISA 2001 and PISA 2006
Review of OECD Statistics (PISA 2006)
+ 34Why is Uruguay of Interest to IEEE Educational Activities
Uruguay’s science score in the OECD table was 428 Ahead of Argentina, Brazil, and Colombia Below the scores of all OECD countries except for Turkey and Mexico
UK: 515; France: 495; Germany: 516; Australia: 527
Uruguay was… Below OECD average in the scales of reading, mathematics and
science
Uruguayan Students demonstrated… Relative strength in the area “Living Systems” and in “Using Scientific
Evidence” Relative weakness in the area “Earth and Space Systems”

The Teacher in Service Program
“Engineering in the Classroom”
+ 43The Teacher In Service Program (TISP)
A program that trains IEEE volunteers to work with pre-university teachers
Based on approved Lesson Plans Prepared by IEEE volunteers Tested in classrooms Associated with Education Standards Designed to highlight engineering design principles The cost is less than $100 for a class of 30
+ 44The 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 students and are tested in the classroom
Materials for a 30-student class cost no more than $100
+ 45
How does it work?
Volunteers of an IEEE Section organize a TISP training event Such as what we are doing here today
EAB provides logistical support and instructors
Volunteers gather for a day and a half of training With teachers and school administrators
Volunteers spread the program in their school districts
+ 46
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? How to align a lesson plan with local education criteria?
Teachers and officials from the education establishment participate in the training sessions
+ 47
After The Training… IEEE volunteers work with the school system
to conduct training sessions for teachers Teachers use the training sessions and the
lesson plans to educate their studentsIEEE participates in paying for the program
In the first year, EAB pays the materials and supplies expenses for TISP sessions for teachers
In subsequent years, funding is the responsibility of the IEEE Section

Expectations from IEEE VolunteersOrganize TISP sessions throughout the pre-
university education system in UruguayCommunicate with EAB for guidance,
information exchange, and fundingOrganize a task force within the IEEE Uruguay
Section to make TISP a permanent program of the Section
Arrange for budgeting through the Region, and IEEE Boards (MGAB, EAB)
+ 64
Expectations from IEEE Students
Revive the IEEE student branches in Uruguay
Make TISP a regular activity of Uruguay’s IEEE student branches
Help organize TISP sessions in the pre-university education system in UruguayEspecially in your own former schools
Participate in the Region 9 TISP task force

Expectations from Teachers
Use the TISP approach in your classroomWork with the IEEE Uruguay Section to
organize TISP training sessions for teachers Report to the Section what lessons have been
learnt from the program Indicate what lesson plans were or were not
successful, and what additional lesson plans would be required
+ 67Our Overall TISP Goals Empower IEEE Section “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
