About the TISP Training Workshop
The workshop will be held on 28-29 April 2011 at the Delta Meadowvale Resort & Conference Centre, Mississauga, Ontario, Canada. The purpose of this workshop is to help IEEE members improve the teaching of engineering and engineering design in pre-university schools (primary schools, middle schools and high schools).
In this workshop, IEEE members will learn how to work with teachers of pre-university schools, and how to conduct hands-on sessions for these teachers on engineering topics. The teachers will then use these sessions on a regular basis with their own students.
The expectation is that IEEE members who complete the workshop will contact local schools in the future, and work with their teachers on lesson plans that demonstrate engineering and engineering design. Examples of lesson plans are available at:
http://www.tryengineering.org/lesson.php
The workshop is held for one and a half days, and it provides attendees with examples of lesson plans, suggestions on the best way to contact and work with the pre-university school system, and description of successful management of a TISP program in an IEEE Section. The event is free of charge for all IEEE members and invited educators. IEEE will reimburse all reasonable travel-related expenses for this workshop.
Travel-related expenses include up to a one night hotel stay and transportation to and from the workshop location.
