IEEE Standards.doc (Size: 82 KB / Downloads: 21)
INTRODUCTION
The IEEE Standards Education Committee (SEC) offers grants of US $500 for students (per project) and US $300 for faculty mentors to help complete a senior, undergraduate or graduate project. Projects may be for design, capstone, development or research in which an industry technical standard(s) was applied to complete the project.
Student Application Papers Applying Industry Standards are papers submitted by students, or their faculty mentors on their behalf, in which an industry technical standard(s) was applied (analyzed and implemented). Each paper highlights specific design choices in the application of various technical standards and describes the resulting product, process, or service.
Please carefully read the criteria below. If you have any questions, please contact Jennifer McClain, IEEE Standards Education Program Manager, at j.mcclain[at]ieee.org or call (732) 562-6355.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What are the grants for?
The grants are to help support students at colleges and universities worldwide with design projects that include the application of industry standards. The grant funds are generally used to purchase much needed materials to help students' projects succeed.
2. Who can apply?
Any student planning to incorporate industry standards or specifications into their design, capstone, development or research projects, and are in need of additional financial support. Keep in mind that students must produce a final paper, a Student Application Paper, which must be submitted to the Standards Education Committee (SEC) for review. If the SEC accepts the paper, the Final Student Application Paper will be published to the IEEE's website.
3. Do I have to be an IEEE member to apply?
No. The IEEE’s Standards Education Grants are for all students worldwide, even those who are not IEEE members.|
4. Do the standards we use in our project have to be IEEE standards?
You can choose to research and apply any appropriate technical standards for your project. They do not have to be IEEE standards.
