Key points
- IEEE TryEngineering held educator sessions in the US and Egypt.
- 54 teachers learned about AI and semiconductor technology.
- Program provides professional development and lesson plans.
- Sessions included hands-on projects and facility tours.
Program Overview
The IEEE TryEngineering program, now in its third year, continues to offer specialized professional development to pre-university educators. These sessions focus on engineering topics and provide teachers with classroom-tested lesson plans. This year's program emphasized artificial intelligence and semiconductor technology.
Session Details and Locations
Sessions were held across the United States, with one international session taking place in Egypt. A total of 54 educators participated, learning about the engineering design process and receiving resources such as 'Making of a Microchip' and 'Train Your Tree' lesson plans. Upcoming workshops are scheduled for Greece and Guatemala.
University Network and Hands-on Learning
A network of host universities is central to the program's success, providing facilities and faculty expertise. These campuses offer background information on technologies, career paths, and job opportunities in engineering. This year's sessions included hands-on projects, with facilitators selected for their experience in engineering education.
Specific Session Highlights
In Cairo, 16 teachers from nine schools participated, facilitated by IEEE members Marwa Soudi and Stamatis Dragoumanos, with GEMS providing STEM facilities. Participants reviewed 'Working With Wind Energy' and 'Tall Tower Challenge' lesson plans. In Florida, educators attended a two-day session at the Florida Semiconductor Institute and its NeoCity campus, which included a tour of a SkyWater Technology chip manufacturing facility.
