Precollege Teacher Grant/Reward Program Easy to apply for small grants to foster innovation Gave out $4.25K for 6 grants in 2006 Have $4.25K for 2007 Have a commitment from IEEE-USA BoD for an
additional 15K through 2010 Program will to grow through corporate
sponsorship / cooperation

Partnerships The issues of pre-engineering programs is
too large for any single organization to “fix”PEC is exploring a new partnership with Junior
Engineering Technical Society (JETS) to promote K-12 engineering programs
Collaborate with IEEE PECC on US centric programs
Participate at NSTA and NCTM conferences

Partnership with PECCCalling all Engineers in Region 5!!!
Are you interested in working with your local schools, school districts andteachers? Do you want to help improve the level of technical literacy of teachers and their students in your local community?
Then you should attend IEEE’s Teacher In-Service Program (TISP) Training Workshop!Started in 2001, TISP features IEEE volunteers developing and presenting technologically oriented subject matter to educators in a professional development or “in-service” setting. In the last several years, IEEE volunteers have made more than 50 presentations to over 1200 pre-university educators within the United States, Asia and Africa. These educators reach over 130,000 students!
Now you can be a TISP Champion! The IEEE Educational Activities Department Region 5 and the Dallas Section are hosting a TISP Training Workshop: July 13-14, 2007, at the Marriott DFW North Hotel in Dallas, TX.

Example of Section Activity
Cedar Rapids Section Members helped to judge the Eastern
Iowa Science and Engineering FairSponsored a special award at the Fair. Advised students and teachers in local
schools in projects for the Future Cities and First LEGO League design contests.
Participated in the Career Guidance Dinner with the Iowa Engineering Society.
