Two Issues

• Expert Now IEEE
• K-12/TryEngineering

Expert Now IEEE

• Expand support from Societies and Councils (S/C)
  for creating modules
• Address the issue of funding by suggesting
  partnering with other S/Cs and/or EAB
• We need to get the S/Cs (e. g. Communications and
  Computer), which have decided to handle
  continuing education, on their own to understand
  that Expert Now IEEE is a complementary program
  and can help their other programs
• To increase the number of Subject Matter Experts
  (SMEs), who are willing to become involved, we
  need to have them to understand that the Expert
  Now IEEE modules will give them visibility and
  will not be a substitute for their direct short
  course and consulting but should, in fact, expand
  both.
• Need help from S/Cs in the creation of an
  editorial board for Expert Now IEEE

4
K-12/TryEngineering

• Encourage S/Cs to help with the creation of
  engineering design modules to be used in
  TryEngineering and TISP.
• Encourage S/Cs to help with engaging children,
  students, and teachers in programs tied to their
  conference. As a first step, we plan to gather
  best practices idea from S/Cs who are already
  doing this such as
• CSS using NSF funding to invite local K-12
  teachers
• AES inviting children of attendees to a special
  program tied to conference
• Supercomputing Conference using conference
  funds to invite K-12 teachers from around the
  country to attend the conference.
