University Outreach Day
Tuesday July 17, 2012
The objective of the IEEE 802 university outreach program is to expose both students and faculty members, of universities local to IEEE 802 plenary meetings, to the IEEE 802 standards process so that they may:
[1] increase their understanding of the importance that standards play within engineering technology
[2] may feel more comfortable in participating in the process if they do in the future during their academic careers, or subsequently as practicing engineers
[3] encourage participation in the IEEE Standards Education Committee programs such as applying for grants for Student Application Papers Applying Industry Standards and
[4] to create interest in including the role of standards in engineering in the academic curriculum.
The day will start with an orientation session of about one hour. IEEE 802 University Outreach students and faculty attendees are then free to observe sessions in progress so long as there is adequate space in the room. A list of meetings recommended for observation by the Working Groups (a self guided tour) will be supplied. The day will end with a closing session to provide the opportunity for IEEE 802 University Outreach participants to ask questions about what they have observed.
Registration Fee: $25.00 US
Registration Limit: 30 Students and or Faculty, valid student/faculty identification required.
