The IEEE has an agreement with the South African Department of Science and Technology to advise and cooperate on science and engineering developments and applications to address the grand challenges. Focus areas in the first year of the five year collaboration are education and space engineering and applications.
Human Capital Development:
South Africa will improve its engineering skill base through a comprehensive upgrade of its graduate education system and the creation of a job market to retain trained engineers in the country. This involves collaboration among universities and the implementation of a comprehensive, nation-wide program. IEEE is advising on objectives for the program and will support a needs assessment consistent with an audit of existing capabilities. The program is done in close cooperation with the South African National Research Foundation.
