TISP Objectives

Demonstrate the application of engineering concepts to support the teaching and learning of science, mathematics and technology disciplines

TISP Objectives

by Developing challenging activities for pre-

university students Forming collaborative relationships with pre-

university /college educators Holding professional development workshops

aimed at helping teachers bring exciting hands-on engineering lessons into their classrooms

About IEEE

world’s largest professional association advancing innovation and

technological excellence for the benefit of humanity.

IEEE Quick Facts > 375,000 members (including > 80,000 university and college

students, in over 160 countries) 329 Sections in 10 geographic regions worldwide – Canada is

one region and Ottawa is one of the Sections in that region. 1,860 chapters amongst all the Sections that unite local

members with similar technical interests. Chapters represent one or more of the 38 societies and seven technical councils representing the wide range of technical interests.

> More than 1,750 student branches at colleges and universities in 80 countries that are part of a Section.

Publish 144 transactions, journals and magazines. Sponsors > 900 conferences annually Developing nearly 1,300 standards and projects

Stats as of Dec. 31/’08

IEEE Ottawa Quick Facts

> 2,000 members across Gatineau and Greater Ottawa

18 Chapters 4 Affinities Most active section in the world.

Volunteerism is a core value of IEEE

TISP OverviewWhy TISP?

Flat or declining sceince, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) enrollments in most developed nations

— + disappointing youth performance in mathematics Insufficient number of engineers and engineering educational

programs in most developing countries— Asia is accelerating no. of engineers per capita

Women & minority students still under-represented Public perception of engineers/ engineering/ technology is

largely misinformed— Results in early decisions that block the path of children to

STEM fields

The Teacher In Service Program (TISP)

IEEE Section engineers develop and present technology-oriented projects to local pre-university educators

— Started at the Florida West Coast Section in 2001 — Lesson plans (most) now available in English, Spanish,

Portuguese, Chinese, French, Russian, German, and Japanese for use by teachers and engineers

— Lesson plans matched to educational standards URL

— (or go to www.ieee.org and search “TISP”)

TISP Metrics To Date 50+ presentations to date > 675 pre-university SMET educators have

participated These educators represent > 70,000 students Recent countries include South Africa, Peru, Canada

and China > 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
