  2. IEEE PEC • www.ieeeusa.org/committees/PEC/ • IEEE-USA Precollege Education Committee (PEC) was established in 1984 to help improve the quality of precollege education and to raise the level of functional and technological literacy of United States students by placing emphasis on mathematics and science. PEC's objective is to keep alive the innate curiosity of young children about science as they move into middle school and high school, so that they will continue to study mathematics, science, and technology.

  3. IEEE PEC Objectives • Increase K-12 student interest and skills in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) • Provide K-12 teacher education and curriculum ideas • Enable IEEE members to share their interests and skills with today’s youth • Maintain the US global position in technology fields

  4. R1 PEC 2009 Goals • Seek a pre-college coordinator for each of the four areas of R1, as well as a standing committee. • Coordinate with IEEE PEC to catalog and develop pre-college programs. • Complete a pre-college student program in my area during the first quarter of 2009. • Execute an EAB-Teacher In-Service Program (TISP) event in each of the four areas of R1. • Share results with other regions of IEEE PEC.
