July is always an exciting time for me because I spend a month working with pre-university students. My university offers four residential summer camps for teenagers entering their sophomore, junior, or senior years of high school. The four camps offer students varying degrees of engineering exploration through scaffolded learning experiences in ten different engineering fields. Three of the camps are co-educational weeks and one is specifically focused on women. The curiosity about engineering is evident in these young men and women. Yet, as we know, the educational pipeline into engineering as a profession still lags demand in many parts of the world. I work with the high school students so that I can answer their questions, mentor them on career choice, and show them the excitement I have for my field of engineering. I know many of you do the same at your universities, or perhaps through extra-curricular activities like First Robotics, Smart Cities, Rube Goldberg, Scouting, or similar programs in your country....

The IEEE Standards Association officially published the standard 1876-2019 on Networked Smart Learning Objects for Online Laboratories on 30 May 2019. During the standardization process, more than 40 members from all 10 IEEE Regions contributed significantly to the standardization process. You may find the list of the working group members here.
During the period (2011-2019), the dynamic process of the standardization of online laboratories involving stakeholders such as teachers, researchers and industrial partners has enabled the establishment of a fertile ground for participatory action research from which graduate students have been able to accelerate their work and defend brilliantly their Ph.D. thesis in the fields related to distributed embedded systems, and those of e-learning environments.
A list of graduated working group members was highlighted online here.
The IEEE Standards Association Board recognized the merits and efforts of the contributors including industrial partners by awarding each member a certificate. The list of awardees can be found here.
Some industry partners took part of our IEEE standard 1876-2019 development process providing guidance, this helped to validate our use cases and participating in our workshops.
On 16 June 2019, Mrs. Suzana Fabusova from Quanser™ received her certificate awarded by the IEEE Standards Association from Dr. Hamadou Saliah-Hassane, Chair of IEEE Education Society Standards Committee. This ceremony took place in parallel to a reception organized by the International Federation of Engineering Education Society (IFEES) at the 126th American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE 2019) in Tampa, Florida, USA.
(L-R) Dr. Tom Lee, Mrs. Suzana Fabusova, Dr. Maria Larrodo-Petrie, Dr. Hamadou Saliah-Hassane and Dr. Luis Felipe Zapata-Rivera

Upcoming steps include the dissemination and production of more use cases that show the benefits of the adoption of this new standard, and the required maintenance of any standard.

The IEEE Education Society provides professional development resources for conferences, workshops, events, and meetings that are organized by chapters and members of the Society.
The resources include a database of experts within the Education Society who are available to travel for presentations. The listing includes the CV and potential presentation topics for those listed. Also, the Society supports the travel expenses of selected presentations up to US$1000. A Society committee reviews applications for such Distinguished Lecturer Program (DLP) support with regard to impact and availability of budgeted funds and offers travel support periodically during each year.
The process to apply for DLP funds is shown below:
- Review the DLP expert listing and contact speakers for availability
- Submit the online request for DLP support specifying the speaker, the level of travel support, the venue of the event(s), etc
Requests should be made early as the review committee may only meeting quarterly and available funds are limited. The support by the Education Society must be noted and the presentation content, media, and photographs are needed along with follow-up report. The documentation of past events are available at the IEEE Education website.
Members of the Education Society with an interest in the Distinguished Lecturer Program may submit an online application to be included on the DLP experts list. The DLP committee selects experts for the listing and reviews the listing periodically for topics, activity, and availability.
For questions on the Distinguished Lecturer Program please contact Steve E. Watkins,([email protected]) Vice-President for Educational Activities and Awards.
