CGAA Activities -- Around the Globe

Professional Staff Update Burt Dicht joined IEEE in August as Director, University Programs Regina Samson joined IEEE in September as Accreditation Administrator We have posted two new positions to be part of our NJ continuing education team– Continuing Education Coordinator and Continuing Education Product Coordinator

Expansion of Continuing Education (1) Our goal is to establish continuing education as a business line for IEEE. Examples of recent progress; Singapore: IEEE and a well known semi-conductor company are developing a business partnership focused on developing an eLearning module to be part of the continuing education and training in wafer fabrication. The goal is to develop common education and training in wafer fabrication, in cooperation with the 6-8 wafer fabrication companies and used by all of them.

Expansion of Continuing Education (2) Singapore Cont’d: CCE NTU and IEEE are establishing a business relationship to provide elearning education as part of their ePrep program. The ePrep program is focused on continuing education for Singaporeans, ages 18-21, who are satisfying their compulsory national service. NTUC LearningHub, a training company, and IEEE are developing a business proposal focused initially on developing 2-3 day training courses in communication skills for engineers and other professionals across multiple industry sectors in Singapore. We are interviewing for a product manager to be based in Singapore

Expansion of Continuing Education (3) In India: An MOU has been finalized with IIT -Gandhinagar to develop continuing education for engineering faculty in four course areas. Work has begun and is expected to be completed in July 2012 Business partnerships with companies are under development focused on certificate programs and eLearning. We will be posting an education manager position in December to be based in India Other: The English for Technical Professionals online, fee based, training will launch during the 1st quarter 2012

New Initiatives and Grants (1) EAB is responsible for ten new initiatives and grants in 2011 Many thanks to the dozens of volunteers and professional staff who made these a success: IEEE Global Standards Search IEEE Implementation of High School Engineering Projects in Community Service (EPICS) Online Technical English Instruction for Multiple Audiences An IEEE Pre-University Exhibit Around the World: Phase I

New Initiatives and Grants (2) Expansion of IEEE Interactive Exhibits at the Science and Technology Museum in Hyderabad Establishment of an IEEE Junior Membership and Publication Discover Computing Through Online Resources: TryComputing.org iTunes University Beyond Campus for IEEE Societies and Councils Expansion of IEEE-HKN Chapters in Non-U.S. Regions IEEE Symposium on Pre-University Teacher Training
