Project: Region 1 – iSTEP
Project Highlights and Results:
• An iSTEP announcement was created.
• Four iSTEP events were scheduled, advertised, and run.
• Each of the four Areas of Region 1 had an iSTEP event coupled with training of the local
Section Chairs and interested members.
• Only reached about 10-20 students at each event due to late start.
• Feedback was evaluated and a face-to-face training session held
• Plans are in process to incorporate iSTEP training in the 2012 R1 SAC and 2012 R1 Training
Workshop.
• iSTEP materials and letters are in prgoress and expected to be completed
2011 Project Metrics Evaluation - iSTEP Model Changes:
“Number of mentor/mentee Relationships matched - > 20 annual“
The original iSTEP Mentoring Model was not possible to
accomplish in a single afternoon. Instead an overview of
mentoring possible through IEEE activities is presented.
