Real World Engineering Projects

In 2007, IEEE announced a call for projects that will lead to an exciting new resource for faculty who teach first year electrical engineering (EE), computer engineering (CE) and computer science (CS) students.We all know how challenging it is to “grab” first year student’s interest and engage them in real engineering concepts.   These projects should:

• Focus students on Real World problems with solutions that benefit society
• Get students excited about their own, original creative solutions
• Increase student retention through personal satisfaction and accomplishment
• Enhance student accomplishment through achievement

IEEE is rewarding faculty for designing exciting, relevant projects that require students to use critical thinking skills to solve engineering problems in a meaningful context.

Authors of completed projects will receive an honorarium from IEEE and their work will be disseminated widely through IEEE websites, conferences, and publications.

Please note: This call for participation is for faculty members only!   Students are encouraged to share this information with their professors.
