IEEE Electrification Magazine - March 2020 - 71

companies are deeply committed to
solving the talent development
issues facing power and energy today
and helping future engineers find
their path.
Since 2011, US$3,880,756 has been
awarded in scholarships to nearly

1,000 students attending more than
175 universities across the United
States, Canada, and Puerto Rico. Visit
the IEEE PES Scholarship Plus website
(https://www.ieee-pes.org/pes
-communities/students/pes-scholarship
-plus-initiative) to view the list of

recipients and learn more about
donating to the IEEE PES Scholarship
Fund of the IEEE Foundation. Such
donations offer the promise of motivating students and opening paths for
them to enter future careers in the
power and energy industry.

The IEEE TEC: Advancing the Field of
Electrified Transportation
HE IEEE TRANSPORTATION
Electrification Community
(TEC) is a technical community within the IEEE that serves
as one voice for transportation electrification and coordinates broad
and deep activities in the growing
electrification revolution across
transportation domains. These
domains include advances in electric and hybrid cars; more electric
ships and aircraft; rail systems; personal transport; and the motive,
storage, power-grid, electronic-intelligence, and control technologies
that make them possible. TEC provides a platform to innovate, create,
and collaborate on all aspects of
transportation electrification within
the IEEE.
TEC is sponsored by the following
IEEE Societies/Council/Boards:
xx
IEEE Aerospace and Electronic
Systems Society
xx
IEEE Industrial Electronics Society
xx
IEEE Industry Applications Society
xx
IEEE Intelligent Transportation
Systems Society
xx
IEEE Power & Energy Society

Within TEC, we support conferences and workshops, including the
American Institute of Aeronautics
and Astronautics (AIAA)/IEEE Electric Aircraft Technologies Symposium. TEC also technically sponsors
the IEEE Transportation Electrification Conference and Expo, the IEEE
Electric Ship Technologies Symposium, and other conferences/workshops around the world. A complete
listing of all conferences and workshops can be found on the TEC website (https://tec.ieee.org/conferences
-workshops).
In the area of education, TEC organizes five or six webinars a year
focusing on more electric transportation in the areas of automotive,
marine, rail, and aerospace. In 2019,
the community launched an online
tutorial series focusing on more
electric transportation in the automotive area. In 2020, we will introduce an online tutorial in the area of
aerospace in collaboration with AIAA.

Members of TEC have free access to
the past webinars and receive a
reduced rate for tutorials. In addition
to the webinars and tutorials, we
have 23 education programs hosted
on IEEE Xplore, for which members
receive a 20% discount.
In 2019, TEC relaunched the eNewsletter, which contains articles on
emerging technologies in the field of
transportation electrification and also
became a sponsor of IEEE Electrification
Magazine. For 2020, TEC leadership has
set a focus on the area of standards
development by promoting efforts to
develop IEEE transportation electrification standards, identifying standards
gaps and opportunities in transportation electrification, and establishing
standards working groups.
Join TEC and be a part of the growing electrification revolution! Connect with industry colleagues, practitioners, researchers, students, and all
those interested in advancing the
field of electric transportation. Membership in the community is free to
all members of the listed sponsoring
Societies and Boards. If you are not
a member of any of TEC's sponsors,
membership is US$10 per year for
higher-grade members and US$5 per
year for students. For more information, visit the TEC website at tec.ieee
.org or email tec@ieee.org.
