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

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
