Recommendation
Focus on teacher education, to make sure teachers understand that ECE profession. Organize workshops in schools in order to help students explore the possibility of a career in ECE. One particular example would be to develop a noise cancellation platform as a demo to take to schools.

Comments on Recommendation



Response from IEEE Canada President (where warranted)
.
Helping teachers to better equip their students to choose careers in engineering -- and in particular ECE -- is an excellent idea.
.
This is, in fact, the thrust of IEEE's Teacher In-Service Program. In Canada, this initiative is coordinated by Anis Haque (sahaque@ucalgary.ca) through the TISP Canada Committeee (http://tisp.ieee.ca/). All IEEE Canada members (and teachers) are welcome to participate.
