Conclusions
The knowledge of I&M is everywhere considered critical for
an EEE. I&M topics are universally regarded as important for
industry and commerce. However, since the I&M discipline is
perceived and treated in different ways in different education
systems, the skills in I&M available at the end of bachelor's,
master's and doctorate programs can differ from degree to
degree, from HEI to HEI and from country to country. In order
to help EEEs and students to satisfy different education
needs in I&M according to their current stage in their study
or job career, the IMS provides several supports from funding
the creation of new courses within HEIs to in-person or online
lectures. Currently the IMS is working to develop a short online
course that could cover a wider range of topics from the
basic to more advanced ones. This paper introduced a picture
of the heterogeneous situation of education in I&M around
the world and described the overall IMS strategy and the resources
made available to fulfill its education mission.

I owe my gratitude to: Niclas Bjorsell, Sebastian Yuri Catunda,
Stephen A. Dyer, Juan Manuel Ramirez Cortés, Gourab Sen
Gupta and Ruqiang Yan who provided me with the valuable
information and comments I used about the higher education
systems and the I&M education in their countries; Kristen
Donnell, chairing the DL program; Sabrina Grassini, chairing
the IMS tutorials; Salvatore Graziani, chairing the VT Editorial
Board; and all the EdCom members who, with their volunteer
efforts, have made the EdCom mission successful for many
years.
