Call for Nominations - 2022 MGA Awards

Each year, the MGA Outstanding Section Awards are presented to one large, one medium, and one small Section (across all Regions), to recognize their excellent work and successful efforts in fulfilling the educational and scientific goals of IEEE for the benefit of the public. The recipient Sections are acknowledged for maintaining, enhancing, and supporting the Student Branches, Technical Chapters, and Affinity Groups within their geographic boundaries.

Three awards are presented, as follows:

• Large Section = 1,501 or more members (including Students) as of 31 December of the prior year;
• Medium Section = 501-1,500 members (including Students) as of 31 December of the prior year;
• Small Section = 500 or fewer members (including Students) as of 31 December of the prior year

To nominate your Section for the MGA Outstanding Large, Medium, or Small Section Award, please click here.

These awards are designed to specifically recognize support provided to IEEE and its members by firms, divisions of firms, or individuals (non-members). Nominators can submit individuals or organizations for a Friend Award at the supporting or sustaining level. Nominations for this award may be submitted at any time during the year.

IEEE Women in Engineering 25th Anniversary Celebrations

This year 2022 marks the 25th anniversary of IEEE Women in Engineering (WIE) and we are planning a full year of celebrations and key moments to reflect on the great progress and achievements made by great women in STEM within the IEEE. We also plan to celebrate the great men who consistently support women along the way. The WIE 25th anniversary Sub-committee is happy to announce The Extraordinary Women Extraordinary Science Seminar Series. This seminar series plans to highlight the Extraordinary Science performed in IEEE Societies and Councils by Extraordinary Women. We encourage attendees to participate in this highly interdisciplinary event which we hope will be a seminal moment of inspiration for women, girls, and young researchers interested in STEM.

IEEE REACH and UNESCO World Engineering Day

Through the lens of history, IEEE REACH offers secondary teachers resources that enhance critical thinking and problem-solving skills while boosting technological literacy. The program offers a new perspective on engineering and technology from which students may view it as relevant to their lives and future. Under the IEEE/UNESCO MOU, in association with the IEEE Africa Council and Uganda Section, a pilot program introduced students, predominantly girls, to REACH resources in an education setting and by a traveling classroom to rural villages. Collaboration expanded to introduce REACH to Secondary Education Science and Math Teachers during teacher workshops led by the Uganda National Commission for UNESCO. The initiative is enhancing teacher engagement in STEM, while simultaneously increasing access to STEM education to underserved communities. UNESCO is exploring exporting the program to other countries throughout Africa and around the world.

A highlight of the initiative will be part of a round table conversation during UNESCO World Engineering Day 2022, Build Back Wiser - Engineering the Future. Register here to tune in on 4 March to see Vincent Kaabunga, Past Chair IEEE Africa Council, and volunteer lead IEEE/UNESCO MOU, present Hands-on Learning for STEM Education - Getting Our New Engineers Onboard.
