(2012 report released June 2013)
Value of IEEE Xplore
To be competitive, students and faculty need the best
information, including:
§  Interdisciplinary EE and CS resources to address the
converging nature of today’s technology
§  A large repository of peer-reviewed papers to support
faculty and student research projects
§  The highest quality R&D resources that drive technical
development and innovation
§  Access to critical Standards that prepare your students
for the work they will do in their careers
§  A resource that will help you develop top quality
scientists and researchers
Quality of Content
peer-reviewed Periodicals and Conference Proceedings
!
What makes IEEE content different?
!
IEEE peer review - the process in which a journal article or conference
paper is submitted by the prospective publisher to experts in the field
for critical evaluation prior to publication, a standard procedure in
scholarly publishing. Synonymous with refereed or juried review.
!
Key questions
–  Is the science accurate?
–  Does the paper make a unique contribution to the “body of
knowledge?”
!
Assures credibility and authority of content
–  Beyond news or business trade sources
–  Far beyond open web content
!

Critical Access to IEEE Standards
!
Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology
(ABET) now requires a design project that “…
incorporate[s] appropriate engineering standards…”
!
ABET is now considering requiring specific instruction
in:
–  Standards development processes
–  Major Standards development organizations (SDO),
their scopes, and varying approaches
–  How, when, why of appropriate use of Standards
*Criteria for Accrediting Engineering Programs, Effective for
Evaluations During the 2008-2009 Accreditation Cycle, November 3,
2007, Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET)
Practicing Engineers Need
Standards
!
Why?
– To Produce Their Products Efficiently
– Deliverable products must be designed
and built - they make use of procured
items and must themselves be procured
– Each of these phases, procurement
especially, requires specification
– Effective specification requires
Standards
Engineering Hiring Mgrs Need
Students that Know Standards
!
New graduates without standards knowledge
may:
–  Unnecessarily need elementary instruction in
their first jobs
–  Have a higher propensity for operating outside
of best or accepted industry practices
–  Waste resources by “reinventing the wheel,” or
–  Simply fail in duties to align their products or
services with desired markets
