E-Scientia in Context Moshe Kam IEEE President and CEO 6 July 2011

2 Outline A Brief History of IEEE Key Activities, Products, Services and Trends How does E-Scientia fit? Goals and expected outcomes

3 It all starts in Philadelphia… AIEE In 1884 the Franklin Institute organized the International Electrical Exhibition in Philadelphia The Operator, 15 April 1884: “The…exhibition would be attended by foreign electrical savants, engineers, and manufacturers...it would be a lasting disgrace to American electricians if no American electrical national society was in existence to receive them with the honors due them from their co- laborers in the United States." Thomas Edison, Elihu Thomson, Edwin Houston, and Edward Weston AIEE’s First Technical Meeting 7-8 October 1884, the Franklin Institute

17 IEEE volunteers Key to IEEE success –About 40,000 individuals who give at least 4 hours a week to the organization  Local Section Chair  Associate editor of a Journal  Member of the Financial Committee of a Major Board  Chair of a committee that develops a Standard The organization is run by volunteers –From the President and CEO to the local Section Chair, major decisions are made by volunteers –An attempt to quantify the work done by volunteers each year: an estimated $2bn-$3bn

33 E-SCIENTIA 10/29/201533

34 E-Scientia – General A new platform for education of young people using an attractive environment and hands-on experience –Suitable for museums, universities and community centers Represents a new field of activities for IEEE This is the first serious attempt of IEEE in decades to work with science and technology museums and community centers 10/29/201534

35 General history This is roughly a two year project It was initiated by the IEEE Uruguay Section with backing of the IEEE Educational Activities Board It was conceived in cooperation of a local museum of science and technology (Espacio Scientia) and a local technological development entity, LATU So far two prototypes were created –One for Montevideo and one for Hyderabad

36 Inauguration – July 2010

37 E-Scientia in IEEE The idea came from the IEEE Uruguay Section (a geographical unit) The IEEE funding came from the IEEE Educational Activities Board, IEEE New Initiatives Committee, and the IEEE Foundation Additional financial and in-kind support came from corporations in Uruguay Labor came from IEEE volunteers in Uruguay 10/29/201537

38 Local Support IBM Interamericana de Computos S.A.; Analisis de Sistemas Markel Engineers

39 Basic Attributes A non-threatening engaging and clean hi-tech environment –The concept of a space ship –“Having fun” The flavor of a guided tour for a small group of students Option for a large number of tour scenarios and activities Opportunities to adapt the content to the needs of different groups and student ages Modular, transportable structure

40 What are we trying to achieve in this meeting… Introduce E-Scientia to a group of IEEE volunteers and science/technology museum personnel Share the experience gathered in Montevideo Discuss the possible uses of the platform and further development needs Gauge interest in developing duplicates for additional sites Discuss logistics, operational environment and costs Plan the expansion of the E-Scientia exhibit
