The IEEE USA Research and Development Policy Committee

#Research #and #Development #Policy #Committee

We all know about the global IEEE organization, with its societies and conferences and so forth. But many of us don't know that, as US-based members of IEEE, we are also part of IEEE-USA. IEEE-USA provides services that are country-specific: what does the US job market look like for engineers? What kind of career paths and training are useful in the US? And, the focus of this talk, what should we be advocating for in state and federal government policies? In particular, the R&DPC advocates for research funding, immigration reform, and regulatory changes to make IEEE members work more effectively and efficiently. You are invited to share your insights on what we should be supporting at the national level. More importantly, the R&DPC is always looking for new members; please consider volunteering.
