to ieee's. one of the primary objectives
during 2017 will be to strategically deliver
projects that were proposed during the
ieee board outreach.
They are also looking at
providing additional recognition to industry engineers via the Fellows
process and additional

look for new and
different offerings in
the future from Pes,
from the very basics
of power and energy
education to the newest and deepest technical subjects that are
required to build and
operate today's modern
power systems. workshops and mini conferences dedicated to specific topics are also likely.

The IEEE
Educational
Activities Board
is embarking on
the development
of new offerings
that should be
of interest to all.

Ten or 12 years ago, Pes
was doing very little
in the way of offering
education to our members. That has changed
significantly since that
time, and we now offer
tutorials at conferences, webinars, and
also a selection of stand-alone courses.
and we've really just scratched the sur-

velopment of new offerings that should
be of interest to all power engineers as
well as all ieee members. courses nearing rollout include cybersecurity Tools
for Today's environment and hacking your company: ethical solutions to
Prevent cyberattacks. other courses in
development include topics like the internet of Things and the ieee technical
road map on wake-up radio, a low power/
low latency standard that is part of 5G.
additional courses in development include nontechnical offerings such as
stuff you Didn't learn in engineering school and effective management
skills for engineers.

Women and
Young Professionals
These two groups are a focus of both Pes
and the ieee. many of you know that
