Outreach in Beijing (cont’d) Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications Zhang Lin, Associate Professor Zheng Kan, PhD, Associate Professor + one more w/o business card Active in standards development Stressed need for education on the process at the graduate level CNIS Bai Dianyi, Deputy Chief Engineer Zhao Wenhui, Assistant Researcher MOU in place Very interested in partnering with us on future workshops, courses, seminars Good connections with Chinese faculty 4

First Cut: Major Opportunities Identified Summer courses Two-week courses are offered in summer at most Chinese universities. Graduate level. IEEE-developed Summer Course on standards and standardization was suggested by both Tsinghua and BUPT. Guest speakers on standards topics during regular semesters Professors may feel unprepared to give a lecture on one of these topics and welcome chance to bring in an expert. Speaker combined with packaged material would be a winning combination. 5

Major Opportunities (cont’d) Mini-Grants and Student Application Papers All thought this could be very popular program in China. Chinese translation of the flyer possible? Clarify that standards used do not have to be IEEE. More detail and many action items to be culled from notes and worked on with the University Outreach Ad Hoc. 6

Future Outreach November 2010: DeVry University. Jennifer McClain has a contact at the New Brunswick, NJ, campus. She and Susan Tatiner are hoping to visit this month. February 2011: Chicago Workshop with the Chicago Section. Planning is underway. Amin Karim and Howard Wolfman are leading this effort. February 2011: SA BOG is going to 3 cities in India, and university visits are being planned. India Ad Hoc and University Outreach Ad Hoc will collaborate. Stanford U and UC Berkley: Wael Diab has contacts at both schools and is hoping to arrange visits. March 2011: SA CAG is going to Europe and there may be time for some university visits. Susan will work with Mary Lynne Nielsen to arrange. Summer 2011: Pilot standards course opportunity at Tsinghua University or Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunication, as discussed. 7
