EDS Secretary and IEEE Fellow, Fernando Guarin Wins 2014 IEEE Meritorious Achievement Award in Informal Education 

The IEEE Educational Activities Board (EAB) recognizes and honors individuals and companies for major contributions to engineering and technical education. 2014 IEEE meritorious achievement award in Informal education has been won by Fernando Guarin for dedication to bringing the excitement of electronics engineering to high school students

This Award in Informal Education recognizes IEEE members who volunteer in informal education settings for the benefit of teachers, students, parents of students, and the public. These volunteers will have served in advisory, educational, or fiduciary positions and used their professional background to enhance understanding and involvement in fields of interest of IEEE by users of the informal education system. Various EAB awards are given to individuals working in engineering education, professional development, and accreditation activities.1

Fernando is the master mind and the key person to initiate and successfully spread the EDS-ETC program through several EDS Chapters and institutions around the globe. He received the award at the EAB Awards Ceremony, November 22, 2014, which was held at The Heldrich Hotel and Convention Center, New Brunswick, New Jersey.
