Education in Standards 2013 Survey Report

Third Quarter 2013

Requested by: IEEE Educational Activities Report Prepared by: IEEE Strategic Research

Notes and Recommendations for the Survey Report This report is the property of the IEEE. The report contains proprietary information of IEEE and is solely for the use of IEEE Volunteers and Staff. Individual responses are confidential. If there is any personally identifiable information anywhere in this report, especially in the open-ended comments, please be sure to maintain that confidentiality. There are two sections in which data is summarized in this report; key findings and frequency tables. The key findings section summarizes the data using narrative, tables, and graphs. Findings are ordered in a way that makes sense for the reader; therefore, questions do not necessarily follow the order in which they come in the frequency report or survey instrument. The frequency tables section contains summary tables and graphs for each question (or variable) measured in the study. The order of the report is the order in which the questions were presented to the respondents. When making presentations, you may want to re-order these.

Scale questions typically have both a table with numbers and a graph. For presentations, you may want to delete the tables and present only the graphs. Data presented in tables also typically includes both the raw numbers and the percentages. For presentations, you may want to only present one of these, depending on your particular study.

Open-ended questions include all answers by all respondents, without editing or spell-checking. You may want to move these to the end, edit, or pull out example quotes for use in a presentation.

Abstract The purpose of the Education in Standards 2013 Survey was to assess interest in education on standards. IEEE members were surveyed using a self-administered, online questionnaire. Results: The majority (76%) indicated that having a basic understanding of standards is important to their technical careers. More than half (54%) of respondents were interested in receiving education on standards. Among these respondents, 77% were likely to participate in training if all other factors (cost, location, time, and so on) were favorable. Online training was most preferred (79%). Methodology Operating Unit: IEEE Educational Activities Requester: Jennifer McClain Purpose: To assess interest in education in standards Data Collection Started: 31 May 2013 Data Collection Ended: 1 July 2013 Sample: 5,000 IEEE members – random representative sample Response: 983 – Response rate of 20% Margin of Error: ±2.8 (i.e., one can be 95% confident that the true answer lies within ± 2.8 percentage points of the finding) There were 757 complete responses to the survey and 425 incomplete responses (i.e., those who opened the survey but did not finish it), for a total of 1,182 responses. Of the total number of respondents, 199 never answered a single question, leaving 983 usable responses. The response rate is 20% and the margin of error is ± 2.8%; meaning one can be 95% confident that the true answer lies within ± 2.8 percentage points of the finding.

Key Findings

The majority (76%) indicated that having a basic understanding of standards is important

1 to their technical

careers. Of these respondents, slightly fewer (67%) were confident in their understanding of standards. Among all respondents (those for which standards were not important and those for which standards were important), 58% were confident in their understanding. Developing standards was important to 39% of respondents, of which 66% were confident in their skills. Applying or implementing standards was important to 73% of respondents, of which 82% were confident in their skills. All but 24% of respondents had received education or training on standards within the five year period prior to completing this survey. The majority had read a standard (56%) while 40% had training from their current place of employment. Just 16% had received training from an IEEE workshop or seminar and even fewer (14%) through another professional association. Please see Table 1. Sixty-three percent said the most recent education or training they received was useful.

1 Importance was measured using a five point scale where 1 is Not At All Important and 5 is Very Important. High importance is

reported on as the aggregate of 4 and 5. Low importance is reported on as the aggregate of 1 and 2. The neutral score, 3, is not reported on. All other scale variables (satisfaction, usefulness, likelihood to do something, and so on) are reported on in this way.

Table 1 - Recent Education or Training

Organization or Company Percent Selected

From reading a standard 50%

Training through my current place of employment 34%

College or university Bachelor’s or Master’s program 18%

Training through a former place of employment 14%

IEEE workshop or seminar 13%

Through participation in a standards development group 12%

Another professional association 12%

Other 6%

No education or training received in standards 24%

More than half (54%) of respondents were interested in receiving education on standards. Among these interested respondents, 77% were likely to participate in training if all other factors (cost, location, time, and so on) were favorable. Online training was most favorable (79%) among respondents who were interested in receiving education or training on standards. The majority of them (51%) would participate if the training was 1 to 4 hours in length and another 43% if it was more than a day. Fifty-six percent of respondents would participate in training if the registration fee was US$50 or less. Nearly all of these respondents prefer training be offered by a technical expert (87%). Fifty-two percent would like a certificate of completion and 45% want the training to be accredited by an external organization. About a third (31%) of the respondents who were interested in training said their employer would pay the total cost (including travel and lodging) for the training while 13% would pay the partial cost and 15% would not pay any. Of the respondents whose employers would not pay, 47% said it was because their employer does not pay for any education and 25% said it was because knowledge in standards is not critical to their current job.

What is your primary work responsibility?q22-...Among others things, my ideal employer would subscribe to IEEE standards and allow technical staff unfettered access for reasons of curiousity alone.As a member of the IEEE, the cost for the Power Standards are prohibitive personally and very difficult to get my Employer, an equipment manufacturer, topurchase as part of the design process for industrial power system used internallyAs I am responsible for original & basic principals for new and innovative advanced electronic equipment design, standards are of virtually no relevance!(Isn't that great!)Basically, while standards are important, I don't see a need for training on standards - at least for me, having started around 1980 in JTC1/SC24 (and itspredecessors) "Computer Graphics" (later + "and Multimedia") - but also in general. Besides, perhaps, giving an overview about standards families (e.g.that of IEC 61508), standards should be sufficiently self explaining rather than needing extra training.Cimpletely useless survey, waste if time and effort. Also repeated invitation emails are a form of abusedeveloping verified standard is must for achieving again and again the well standard product with higher degree/ probability of success in the process. Inpursuit of same it is also very much important to train all those involved in the process implementation stages and related share holders. So adequateemphases must be given to impart these knowledge to all at cheapest cost as possible.GoodI am not sure I completely understood all the survey questions and thought some of them were poorly written.I am self-employed, which is why I answered "employer will pay all expenses", because employer is ME.I am so accustomed to self-training using standards specifications that I have limited interest in alternatives. For me, the cost of training has been limitedto the cost of getting a copy of the relevant standard (usually covered by an employer) plus the time to study it (usually partly covered by my employer,but mostly my own time).I do more research, which is before standards are importantI expect scope for my Nanomaterials and Materials engineering at IEEEI have well-mixed experience of 12 years in teaching+research, 12 years in industrial R&D and now shifting my job back to university as a professor withteaching + consulting+ research interest and am interested in getting trained in existing standards and subsequently to contribute to develop new standards.- Regards JayeshI let my P.E. license expire because it was more a hindrance than a help. When I removed my P.E. license from my resume, I got more job offers. U.S.industry despises technical excellence.I see that most of the folks involved in developing standards have lot of experience in the corresponding area, which is really wonderful. They do anexcellent job. The problem I see is the gap between the younger generation and the experienced involved in developing standards. I believe once thesefolks retire we could leave a big hole. So it is important to encourage and involve the younger folks in developing standards. They may not have theexpertise but could work together with an senior person. As an example you could given an assignment to two folks - young and experienced. Thatinteraction between the two helps a lot to fill the hole.I stay in IEEE to learn what is going on in the industry and to see what I might be able to apply in our plants.I think most of the trainings on standarts are really good, but there should be more trainings oriented to the work , where you can really see the theory onpractise, real cases. I took course LTE overview, fundaments were good but i felt that case study could have added value to training.I think this survey is biased towards the USA?I use IEEE for there information in general on electrical network, not about the standarss.I want to develop myself to an expert position in Instrumentation and control, both design and Engineering. I am ready to sacrifice time and money toattending workshops, seminars, and lectures,just to achieve my dream. I really appreciate this survey. Thank you.I was the Technical Area Manager of IEC/TC100/TA8 from 2002 to 2007.I'd like to enrol/participate in activities related to standard's development and/or implementation. Thanks.IEEE continually makes it difficult for engineers to do their job. There should be four engineers sitting where I sit now. The IEEE’s insistence upon hard copyversions of current standards, and not off-line (stand-alone), easily searchable files is a shame. Although necessary for my job, my employer currentlyprovides one current standard and no versions of the couple dozen standards I could use. That makes quick access of the one I do have necessary. IEEE hastold engineers they will have the pdf’s out ‘soon’ and they never come – and are never available. Shame on you.IEEE is a good forum to develop personal skills and quality of standards in a Researcher's Life.I'm from Argentine, and it's very difficult to access this kind of courses on Standards, even more nobody knows how important is for proffesional career.I'm glad you are doing this.In my country, Venezuela, we have restriction to obtain foreing currency and is expensive for us.It is a good way of collecting personal intuition.I have intuition to obtain new technology training. I would prefer if IEEE can assist me for access.it sounds to me that the specification or standards sometimes not merely technical but technical-political specification, which makes the specification veryless valuable technically.Many IEEE offers are in the US. I am in Europe and my company would not pay for travelling to a training in the US.Many IEEE standards contain "optional" add-ons put there by some parties for self-interest. These lead to unnecessary complications in the standards.Most of my work experience has been in medical device R&D and Product development.My employer currently has restrictions on travel. Online education works best for me, or workshops held locally.My field is rapidly advancing and the standards that do come out are obsolete and much too expensive.My teaching schedule constrains my ability to attend lectures, talks etc. We are not paid for time away even if it is for trainingn.a.N/AN/ANeed intro on what standards are being talked about.NILnil

NononoNoNo CommentsNo, Tkank youNo~non.NoneNoneNoneNoneNoneNoneNone.none.Not a bad survey.Not a very well constructed survey. Choice of responses assumed a level of interest/desire to attend which was not necessarily present.On line standards training is a good idea indeed.only one comment It is very interesting the survey Good luck with the outcomePlease let me know about your results!Promote awareness and use of standards by educating the engineering public about their existence, their role(s) and their benefitsQuestions should be shown on the invitation mails. Responders cannot figure out how long it will take to answer.Regarding employer covering costs of training. The ability to participate would be constrained by the available budget and the location of the training wouldbe pertinent factor.some of your questions are not well constructedStandards are very important in the engineering field and should be encouraged to be adhered to by all professionals.Standards training is recognised essential by practitioners but I doubt that it is valued by budget holders!Thank you, IEEE Standards are Important for my line of work!ThanksThanksThanks for the survey!the acceptable price was considered on a private paid tuition fee (no contribution from employer considered)The need for specific education depends on what I need to know for the project I am working on.The Quebec, Canada, board of engineers (OIQ) recently announced a requirement for certified continuing education. Any training offered by the IEEE wouldhave to be certifiable and offer proof of attendance to be of any use to Quebec engineers.There are few indepth technical topics in my field that would warrent extensive standards training, however, presentation of introduction, overview and keypoints, followed by self-paced (probably online) training would be applicable and of interest to me. In some cases, a short course or lecture series may beappropriate.There needs to be much more activity in training on Standards. Everything is based on Standards these days. There is learning the STandard and learningthe science as to why the Standard specs are the way they are.There was a question on whether employer would pay for entire costs (i.e. cost of conference, workshop, travel, hotel, etc). I put that they would pay all ofit. But my current employer is also very frugal and somewhat balks at this training. So, although they do pay for all of the costs, it is somewhat rare thatthey actually allow their engineers to attend these events. In the past seven years I've attended two out-of-town conferences and one closeby seminar.This is really not applicable to what I am doing.Training in general is very hard to get funded at most companies...they talk the talk about not having a trained work force but sure don't want to pay for iteither.Unemployment: Many engineers are unemployed, willing to work, but not considered because of age, even though many of us are healthier, far moreproficient, possess unquestionable professional integrity and commitment, than several up and coming, lack of experience youngster. The saga does notseem to project an end.Very well designed queries.We have our standards here in the company these are our reference. This thing might keep us away from reading international standards.Whenever I need to learn about a standard I go to the standards docs. I'd rather have a root canal.Your best course of action is to setup an online course, with lots of examples/applications/implementations shown, and source code would be good. Trypartnering with Kahn.org or someone to speed up the process.

q1 - q1

Overall, how important or not is having a basic understanding of technical standards to your career?

A technical standard is a document established by consensus and approved by a recognized body that provides for common and repeated use, rules, guidelines or characteristics for activities or their results. Examples of standards include Underwriters Lab (UL) standards, IEEE standards, such as IEEE 802 standards, ISO/IEC standards, and many more.
