Update  Fellowship recipients previously attended IETF  Daily breakfast  Gave them an opportunity to touch base with their mentors  Opportunity to discuss other technical areas of interest with those from the IEEE 802 EC that attended breakfast  Overwhelming at first but getting acclimated by Wednesday  Specific technical area versus a broad range of areas  Broad  Resulted in narrowing down and identifying new technical areas of interest  Specific  Focused on one area of technical interest  Connections were “key”

From the Fellows…  Needed to adjust to the IEEE and 802 vernacular  Broad range of technical areas  Narrowed interest to IEEE 802.1, IEEE and IEEE  Learned about the IEEE standardization process  Opportunity to develop contacts/discuss technical questions  Will share what was learned with academic staff members and students by conducting seminars  Will share what was learned with the IEEE chapter chair and how our chapter members can benefit from this experience  “The knowledge gained from the meeting has immense significance in terms of updating networking and data communication course contents as well as future curriculum developments in this area.”

Looking forward to Macau…  Meeting this evening (13 November) to discuss potential program improvements  Suggestions can be sent to Glenn Parsons Karen McCabe and Jodi Haasz

Thank you to all who participated!
