CE and CS FACULTY – WE WANT
YOUR PROJECTS !

IEEE
announces 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.
|
These
projects will ultimately comprise a
database entitled Real World
Engineering Projects: EE, CE &
CS Curricula: an on-line
library of contemporary, hands-on
projects to use in the first year
curriculum and 1) encourage student
learning through participation, 2)
increase student retention through
satisfaction, and 3) improve student
confidence through achievement.

Call for Workshops
|
To
further help faculty, IEEE will be
disseminate high quality, online,
self-study workshops on the best
pedagogical techniques for the
electrical engineering (EE), computer
engineering (CE) and computer science
(CS) classroom. These will feature the
latest research on how students learn
and the most effective ways to teach
engineering, science, technology and mathematics.
