A Few Words about IEEEIEEE is the largest professional engineering association in the world – 375,000 members in 160 countries– A non-profit organization incorporated in New York
Originally concentrating on power engineering and communications IEEE at present spans technical interests across the spectrum of technology– From nanotechnology to oceanic engineering
In many respects IEEE has become “the steward of Engineering” worldwide
IEEE at a Glance
More than 375,000 members in more than 160 countries; 45 percent of whom are from outside the United States more than 80,000 student members 329 sections in ten geographic regions worldwide 1,860 chapters that unite local members with similar technical interests 1,789 student branches in 80 countries 483 student branch chapters at colleges and universities 390 affinity groups -- IEEE Affinity Groups are non-technical sub-units of one or more Sections or a Council. The Affinity Group patent entities are Consultants' Network, Graduates of the Last Decade (GOLD), Women in Engineering (WIE) and Life Members (LM)

The Teacher In Service Program (TISP)
A program that trains IEEE volunteers to work with pre-university teachers
Based on approved Lesson Plans– Prepared/reviewed by IEEE
volunteers– Tested in classrooms– Designed to highlight engineering
design principles
Guayaquil, Ecuador, Nov 10-11 2009
A training session for student branch leaders
Based on the success of the student branch session in Piura, Peru in 2007
A new TISP model
The Teacher In Service Program
Train volunteers– IEEE Section Members– IEEE Student Members– Teachers and Instructors
…using approved lesson plans (71) on engineering and engineering design
IEEE members will develop and conduct TISP training sessions with TeachersTeachers will conduct training sessions with Students

Teachers
Students
Our Overall TISP GoalsEmpower IEEE Section and Student Branch “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
Teacher In-Service Program Progress
To date, over 126 TISP presentations have been conducted by IEEE volunteers– TISP presentations have reached over
3000 pre-university educators. This reach represents more than 330,000 students each academic year
– Presentations have taken place in at least 12 countries At least seven (7) countries in Region 9!
WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO HERE TODAY AND TOMORROW?
IEEE Volunteers
Teachers
Students
What are we going to do here?
Demonstrate four (4) lesson plans:– “Ship the Chip”– “Sail Away”– “Hand Biometrics”– “Sort it Out”
Discuss trends in pre-university education Develop action plans to implement TISPHave Fun!
The 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– Aligned with Education Standards– Designed to highlight engineering design
principles– The cost for the materials is $50-$100 for a
class of 30
The 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 teachers and their students and are tested in the classroom
Materials are low cost
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?
Teachers and officials from the education establishment participate in the training sessions
After The Training…
IEEE volunteers work with the local schools and 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 for the materials and
supplies needed for TISP sessions for teachers– In subsequent years, funding is the
responsibility of the IEEE Section and Student Branch
