7. 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

8. 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 wafer fabrication companies and used by all of them.

9. 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

10. 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
