Subject: Educational Activities Committee Report
Date:    31 March 2005

IEEE is seeking to institutionalize the Teacher In-Service Program
(TISP), a program piloted in Region 3 by the Florida West Coast Section.

   In support of this initiative, Region 3 is seeking Section volunteers
to participate in the TISP and attend a Teacher In-Service Program
Training Workshop to be held on July 23, 2005 in Atlanta, GA.  Travel
expenses to the workshop will be covered by IEEE Educational Activities.

  Our goal is to train volunteers from 20 Sections within Region 3 (a
maximum of 20 slots are available at the training workshop).  Section
Chairs should send the name and e-mail address of their Section
volunteer to Pat Donohoe (p.donohoe@ieee.org) by April 15.  The TISP
intitiative will be promoted at various meetings during Southeastcon 2005.

  Several Region 3 Sections participated in pre-college promotional
activities during Engineers Week including the Richmond and Hampton
Roads Sections.  The Hampton Roads Section has also been active in
outreach to the local pre-college community by developing relationships
with local educators in an effort to encourage high school students to
pursue careers in science and engineering.
