IEEE’s Role in Standards The IEEE is a leading global developer of standards that underpin many of today’s essential technologies. – IEEE is a central source of standardization in both traditional (e. g. , power and energy, information technology, telecommunications, transportation, medical and healthcare, etc. ) and emerging fields (e. g. , nanotechnology and information assurance). – Standards are developed in a unique environment that builds consensus in an open process based on input from all interested parties. – Nearly 1, 400 standards either completed or under development IEEE Standards Association leads IEEE’s standards activities – The IEEE-SA itself contains nearly 20, 000 individual and corporate participants who participate in standards activities. – Draws on the expertise of the IEEE's 44 societies and technical councils. 8

Complete Technology Lifecycle Management IEEE Standards Association provides complete technology lifecycle management at every stage of technology development. The approach ensures the rapid introduction of new technologies to market. Key programs include: Pre-Standards Development – Industry Connections Standards Development Standards Market Implementation – ICAP – Patent Pools – Registration Authority Professional Services 9

Why Standards Education Is Important Standards education recognizes the key role standards play within the engineering, technology and computing fields. Knowledge of standards can help facilitate the transition from classroom to professional practice by aligning educational concepts with real-world applications. Incorporating standards into the curriculum … Benefits students and faculty mentors as they face challenging design processes Provides tools for use in learning about standards and their impact on design and development 14

IEEE Board of Directors Educational Activities Standards Education Committee Standards Education within IEEE Board Structure Standards Association Member & Geographic Activities IEEE-USA Technical Activities Publication Activities

Mission of the Standards Education Committee Promote the importance of standards in meeting technical, economic, environmental, and societal challenges. Secure and disseminate learning materials on the application of standards in the design and development aspects of educational programs. Secure and provide short courses about standards needed in the design and development phases of professional practice. Actively promote the integration of standards into academic programs. Lead other education initiatives planned jointly by the IEEE Educational Activities Board and the Standards Association. 16

Who Benefits? Students • Undergraduate and graduate Technology professionals • Engineers and other technologists • Experienced professionals • Standards developers • Product developers • Standards managers Business leaders Marketing professionals 17

Discussion Topics Are standards and their importance a part of your current engineering course curriculum? If so, at what level? Undergraduate? Graduate? If not, do you think it would be a good idea to introduce the importance of standards into the engineering course curriculum? If so, at what level? What about the focus of such education? Should it be more technical, or should it include the standards development process, including IPR issues? Do you think it is important for students to have an understanding of the industry standards applicable in their fields of interest? Do you think it is important for students to have an understanding of the consensus building process under which industry standards are developed? Do you think that having an understanding of the standards development process is important? 32

Discussion Topics (cont’d) Have industry standards been introduced directly into the coursework at your university? If yes, how are they used in the classroom or coursework? Do students actually read industry standards for courses? Does your university have access to industry standards for use in the classroom? What opportunities for research exist in standards and standards education? Is this important at your university? Would your university be interested in internship opportunities in standards education? Were you aware of the IEEE mini-grant program? Do you think it would be helpful at your university? 33

Discussion Topics (cont’d) Which of these would be helpful to you in teaching about industry/technical standards: – Access to standards online – Coursework assignments and lectures – Textbooks – Chapter books – Ancillary materials – Web-based materials – Interactive materials – Project-based activities – Case studies online – Tutorials online – Lectures online – Face-to-face workshops or seminars – Independent study – Internships with companies or standards development organizations 34
