| Abstract | The IEEE Teacher In Service Program (TISP) enables teachers to effectively introduce engineering into the K-12 environment. The program consists of training for engineers to hold in-service workshops for teachers who then take hands-on engineering projects into their classroom. Teachers are provided with lesson plans (available in English and Spanish), tied to educational standards in the United States, all accessible on the website tryengineering.org. Each activity is designed to be inexpensive (often less than $10 for a classroom). This program has been successfully implemented throughout the United States for over ten years. Additionally, workshops have been implemented in other countries, including Malaysia, South Africa and Chile. The IEEE teamed with electrical engineering and engineering education faculty and students from Ohio Northern University to implement the TISP activities in a series of schools in impoverished regions in the Dominican Republic. This project allows the team to visit five schools and directly impact over 2000 students. The team will offer the initial workshops in May 2012, then visit the teachers to interview and conduct focus groups to assess the effectiveness of the workshops. A final assessment plan will be developed that will assist in assessment of other international offerings. This work-in-progress should be of interest to anyone working with international engineering education, especially within impoverished or developing countries. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
