Standards Education

As the world's leading standard developer, the IEEE is also a leading source of information and resources on standards, their applications, and their impact on designing new products, processes, and services.

We are committed to:

Promoting the importance of standards in meeting technical, economic, environmental, and societal challenges;
Disseminating learning materials on the application of standards in the design and development aspects of educational programs;
Actively promoting the integration of standards into academic programs;
Providing short courses about standards needed in the design and development phases of professional practice.
