IEEE Pre-College Education

• IEEE Pre-College Education Page - information for pre-college students interested in studying math, science and technology. This page also contains information for teachers and administrators interested in promoting careers in math, science and technology.
• Teacher In-Service Program - The Teacher In-Service Program features IEEE Section engineers developing and presenting technologically oriented subject matter to local pre-college educators in an in-service or professional development setting. The focus on local school districts is a key feature to this program as local engineers and educators can develop long lasting collaborations.
• IEEE Virtual Museum - For hundreds of years, engineers have been finding new ways of using electricity to revolutionize the way we work, play, learn, and communicate. Here you'll explore the history of these technologies, find out how they work, and learn about some of the people who invented them.
• PEERS - PEERS stands for Pre-College Educator/Engineer Resource Site. If you are an engineer, teacher, administrator, or anyone else interested in helping make technical subjects and technology come alive for students, you will want to explore the resources within this site. IEEE has developed PEERS to encourage collaboration and sharing between engineers and educators, and to provide resources to facilitate joint efforts to encourage students in the study of science, math, and technology. - online aids for the educational needs of IEEE members.
• City Technology, Stuff That Works - Since 2001, IEEE engineers have actively participated in City Technology, Stuff That Works, a series of five curriculum units including teacher guides and accompanying online forums for elementary and middle school teachers to use to introduce the world of technology and engineering to their students. City College of New York hosts a website that includes discussion forums dedicated to each group of teachers using the Stuff that Works curriculum units.
