the development of continuing education products and services that serve the professional development and lifelong learning needs of electro-technology professionals worldwide.
Programsshall include the broad planning of educational activities of
the IEEE, the development and delivery of continuing
education products and activities, the development of guidelines for the IEEE
representatives to accreditation bodies, the monitoring of accreditation activities, the coordination of pre-college programs, and the representation of the IEEE in matters
regarding engineering education
Educational Activities Programs
Continuing Education Professional
Development Pre-college Education Accreditation
Continuing Education Popular Talk
provides information about various aspects of electrical, electronics, and computer engineering
Tutorialintroduces engineers to new technical areas and applications
Short Coursecovers technical and non-technical materials in depth, as in a
regular college course Workshop
involves intensive interaction among students and instructors Self-Study
employs stand-alone tools in a variety of media, such as books, videos, CD-ROMs, web-based audio and/or video presentations, etc.
Distinguished Lecturer Program
assists Sections and Chapters in planning high quality programs for their membership.
operate according to procedures defined by the sponsoring Society or Council

CEU ProgramCEU Program
IEEE is an Authorized Provider of CEUs through the International Association of Continuing Education and Training (IACET), and has adopted IACET guidelines and criteria for all its continuing professional development programs
Continuing Education Units (CEUs)Purpose
Measure quality of non-credit continuing education
Assure value through application review by IEEE EAB
Meet licensing board and employer CE requirements
Value of CEUs
Increase attendance due to added quality and perceived value
Help engineers maintain their Professional Engineer (PE) license
Generate revenue for Sections, Societies, Chapters, or Regions
Document continuing education requirements of industry
CEUs and PDHsWhat do they measure?
CEU - One CEU equals ten contact hours of instruction in a continuing education activity
PDH (Professional Development Hour) - One contact hour of instruction or presentation
IEEE CEU Program Background
First offered in 1995
More than 980 courses have offered CEUs
More than 15,000 participants have received CEUs
Over 30 Sections and Societies currently participate in the IEEE CEU Program
To Offer IEEE CEUs
Complete application and submit with back–up course materials
Comply with IACET guidelines
Provide names and contact information of participants for IEEE EAB records

Accreditation Activities IEEE Educational Activities is
responsible for carrying out the accreditation process with the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, Inc. (ABET) for engineering and engineering technology programs
EAB also participates in international accreditation activities
How Can We Cooperate?
Exchange information on local education needs and issues
Furnish contacts of members interested in education
Give feedback on products, services and events
Let’s utilize Region and Section newsletters
