A Year in the Life of the IEEE Educational Activities Board [DSP Education]

The IEEE Education Activities Board (EAB) is one of four major Boards of the IEEE; the others are the Technical Activities Board, the Publication Services and Products Board, and the Member and Geographical Activities Board. The EAB is concerned with the complete spectrum of educational activities, ranging from support for precollege/university education, university education, professional education, education about standards, and support for women in engineering. The year begins with the first formal meeting of the Board in February during the IEEE Board Series meetings, where policies are agreed and programs established for the constituent activities of EAB. A summary of some of these is given below.
