Pipelining

The initiative also calls for developing
online workshops that showcase the best
teaching practices found in electrical and
computer engineering and computer science classrooms. The practices will be
reviewed and selected by the same IEEE
committee. The goal is to develop educational strategies that focus on the learner
rather than on just the concept being
taught, an approach known as learnercentered teaching. Other educational
strategies include those focused on students working on team projects.
The third and last part of the initiative
calls for the IEEE to promote the projects

and best teaching practices at electrical
and computer engineering schools.
Instructors who register to use the free
teaching aids and workshops will be asked
to assess them.

Benchmarks for Change
No one expects changes in curricula
overnight. "The first criterion for judging
the initiative's positive impact will be simply the number of teaching aids developed," Kam says. "Another benchmark
will be the number of faculty that incorporate the projects in their classroom
instruction."

"My hope is that in the end we will see
substantial increases in women engineers," Bell says. "But at the very least we
will create high-quality materials, and
anyone who uses them will benefit. It can
only be a good thing."
Eventually, the program should also
help establish equity and opportunity in
engineering's management ranks, Kam
says, adding, "When we help women, we
help men as well."
