In what direction do you think the engineering
and other IEEE fields of interest are headed
in the next 10 years?
There will be more automation, more AI applications,
more autonomous vehicles, and more personal
choices about how we live, how we raise our children,
how we travel, and how we work. The concern
is-such developments will not be equal across the
globe, even within some countries there will be large
disparities among various sections of their population.
What is the most important lesson you have
learned during your time in the field?
The most important lesson I have learned during my
travels in over 55 countries is - the young generation
is very inquisitive, creative, and willing to do good
in society. But they do not always
get the opportunity or have the
resources to realize their dreams.
This is especially true among girls
in developing countries. But with
the widespread availability of
internet and mobile phones, things
are changing for the better.
What advice can you offer
recent graduates entering
the field?
Be innovative, set high goals, work
very hard to achieve your goals,
and work cooperatively. Do not be
daunted by failures. You become
a more effective person when
you learn from your failures and
find new and different ways to do
things which can benefit others.
What is your favorite Eta Kappa Nu memory?
I was inducted into Eta Kappa Nu when I was a
Ph.D. student at Virginia Tech. After the induction
ceremony, I met with several undergrad students
at the university (some HKN members, others not)
and set up a team to help other undergrads who
were having difficulty in their electric circuit courses.
Electric circuits was my favorite subject in electrical
engineering; the first theory course I taught at Virginia
Tech was electric circuits.
IEEE EDUCATION SOCIETY
OUR FOCUS
The IEEE Education Society was founded in 1957 as the Professional Group on
Education of the Institute of Radio Engineers. It is a worldwide society of
thousands of professionals dedicated to ensuring high-quality education in
science and engineering. Our members engage students each day, research
and propose new theories in learning science, develop new learning
technology, and innovate classroom practice.
FIELD OF INTEREST
The theory and practice of education and educational technology involved
in the effective delivery of domain knowledge of all fields within the scope of
interest of IEEE.
MEMBERSHIP BENEFITS
Society membership provides electronic access to the IEEE Transactions on
Education (ToE) and the IEEE Revista Iberoamericana de Tecnologias del
Aprendizaje (IEEE-RITA). Members can also subscribe to the IEEE Transactions
on Learning Technologies (TLT) at a reduced rate.
Learn More
Members are also invited to participate in our online
webinars and events and in our face-to-face learning,
networking, and presentation opportunities with member
rates at our five premier international conferences.
