Overview
The IEEE ITSS Educational Activities Committee fosters programs for the growth of ITS education-related activities, recommending policies for educational development, helping coordinate the Distinguished Lecture Series of the society, and approving plans for educational support activities. We aim at serving the IEEE ITS members in educational pursuits by supporting them with high-quality opportunities for education on ITS topics, providing them with state-of-the-art information, and promoting career paths in ITS.
ITSS Education Activities Committee
The IEEE ITSS Educational Activities Committee, led by Interim VP Prof. Xiaopeng (Shaw) Li (UW–Madison), brings together a global team of experts from academia, research, and industry across continents. Key leaders include Prof. Zhongping Jiang (Distinguished Lecturer Program), Prof. Ignacio Alvarez (Tutorials & Workshops), Dr. Kai Wang (Outreach & Young Professionals), Mr. Jim Misener (Industry Webinars), and Dr. Brian Staes (Short & Summer Courses), supported by a diverse roster of international members.
Distinguished Lecturer Program
Distinguished Lecturer Program (DLP) connects Senior IEEE ITSS members, who are renowned intelligent transportation experts, with ITSS Chapters so they can share their knowledge, expertise, and insights into the future of ITS technology. The DLP is aimed at promoting the research areas of the IEEE Intelligent Transportation Society in conjunction with its Technical Committees. The DLP is intended for ITSS Chapters and Student Branch Chapters that do not regularly have the funding to invite international speakers or to travel to their local events with no or minimal other funding.
Resource Library (Courses)
The IEEE ITSS Resource Library offers easy access to educational materials on intelligent transportation systems, including courses, webinars, tutorials, talks, and the distinguished lecturer series—all designed to support career growth and industry readiness. Visit below for more information.
