Your HP-35 pocket scientific calculator made calcula- tions for engineering projects faster and more precise. You were relieved that, thanks to word processors, your proposals and papers could be edited instead of retyped. You relaxed by playing electronic games on your Odyssey Home Entertainment System. And you were in awe watch- ing nAsA send astronauts to live and work in the space station skylab. You were likely less aware, however, of those working on innovations that would change the way we live 40 years later. Bob Metcalfe was working on the Ethernet, a precursor to the wireless world in which we live today. Vint Cerf and robert Kahn were designing TCP/IP, the internet protocol that enabled the world-wide sharing of information via the Internet. The patent for a radio telephone system was issued to Motorola, paving the way for the cell phone revolution that transformed the way we communicate and work. Google was just a thought, as 1973 marked the births of larry Page and sergey Brin. Thanks to you, our donors, the IEEE foundation has proudly supported the efforts of the engineering and technology community that have dramatically changed our lives over the past 40 years. During the IEEE foundation’s first 40 years, we honored and recognized extraordinary professionals and their innovative discoveries. We enabled educational programs that trained teachers and IEEE members to encourage children to discover, explore and appreciate engineering. Today we provide scholarships to students pursuing engineering careers through the IEEE PEs scholarship Plus Initiative. We also support high-impact programs for young professionals to engage in technology projects that improve the quality of life in developing communities. During the next 40 years, the IEEE foundation aspires to significantly increase its impact by building on the successes that have helped get us to where we are today. recognizing the need for closer alignment with IEEE, the IEEE foundation Board of Directors approved a revised mission statement in 2013 “to enable IEEE programs that enhance technology access, literacy, and education; support the IEEE professional community; and inspire the generosity of donors.” We need your help to accomplish this mission. As a first step, we will actively fundraise for our new “signature programs” that offer you the opportunity to support more scalable and higher impact IEEE programs. next, we are upgrading our digital presence to provide you with an engaging online experience where you can see the programs you support in action, find more ways to be involved, and to make it even easier for you to donate and obtain receipts from your computer or hand-held device. Thank you for your contributions to the IEEE foundation’s first 40 years of success. We hope to make your engagement with us even more rewarding and hope that you will share your experiences with others so that they too will support the IEEE foundation during the next 40 years. leah H.
