IEEE Education Society Global Leader in Engineering Education
Vision The IEEE Education Society strives to be the
global leader in engineering education
MissionThe IEEE Education Society is an international
organization that promotes, advances, and disseminates state-of-the-art information and
resources related to the Society’s field of interest and provides development opportunities
for academic, industry, and government professionals
12
IEEE Education Society Global Leader in Engineering Education
The Education Society's FIELD OF INTEREST is the theory and practice of education and educational technology involved in the effective delivery of domain knowledge of all fields within the scope of interest of IEEE
Examples: laboratory instruction, curriculum design, distance learning, Web 2.0 learning, pedagogy applied to engineering education
