Teacher In Service Program (TISP) 2009 -2010 IEEE Ottawa Section http: //ieee. org/go/ottawa-tisp

Agenda § § § Introductions Objectives IEEE Overview TISP Overview Q&A

Introductions § Jennifer Ng – IEEE Ottawa TISP Champion jng@ieee. org § Raed Abdullah – IEEE Ottawa Section Chair Raed. Abdullah@ieee. org

Objectives § § Develop challenging activities for preuniversity students Form collaborative relationships with School Boards

About IEEE World’s largest professional association, advancing innovation and technological excellence for the benefit of humanity.

IEEE Quick Facts § § § § More than 385, 000 members, including over 80, 000 students, in over 160 countries. 329 Sections in ten geographic regions worldwide. About 1, 800 chapters that unite local members with similar technical interests. More than 1, 750 student branches at colleges and universities in 80 countries. 38 societies and 7 technical councils representing the wide range of technical interests. 144 transactions, journals and magazines. More than 900 conferences sponsored annually Nearly 1, 300 standards and projects under development Volunteerism is a core value of IEEE

Why TISP? § § Flat or declining STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) enrollments in most developed nations Insufficient number of engineers and engineering educational programs in most developing countries Women & minority still under-represented Public perception of engineers is 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. Source is the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development website (http: //stats. oecd. org)

The Teacher In Service Program (TISP) § IEEE Section engineers develop and present technologyoriented 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 URL — http: //www. ieee. org/web/education/preuniversity/tis pt/index. html

TISP Metrics To Date § § § 50+ presentations to date More than 675 pre-university educators have participated (Science, technology and mathematics educators) These educators represent 70, 000+ students Recent countries include South Africa, Peru, Canada and China 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 Workshop Objectives § § To promote an awareness for technological literacy To provide a hands-on demonstration of STEM topics for classroom use To promote awareness of the connections between STEM standards To provide information about resources available to support STEM instruction
