  • Support Educators in implementing tryengineering.org lesson plans
  • Help pre-university students develop essential non-technical skills

 

 

 

 

 

 

The objective of this committee, working under the tutelage of the Professional and Educational Activities Sub-Committee is to support Student members in their path to develop their non-technical and technical skills and to spread and encourage the creation of education-driven university activities by IEEE volunteers on Region 8, such as :

  • Online Educational University-level resources

  • Student-papers publications development
  • University educational-activities news spreading
  • Entrepreneurship Week

 

 

 

Continuing Educational Activities Works Committee aims to support IEEE members to their professional life by providing resources and programs that help them develop both their technical and non-technical skills.
Such programs are the PEA Speakers Program and the Entrepreneurship Week, IEEE’s eLearning Library and Technical English programs and many more.
