Professional & Educational Activities Board

Learn more about the Professional & Educational Activities Board (PEAB), its mission, committees, and more.

The Professional and Educational Activities Board (PEAB) understands the importance of educational preparation in all facets of our profession. Our mission is to ensure that every individual within our profession, whether in academia or practice, achieves their full potential through lifelong learning. The goals of PEAB are to provide leadership in the IEEE Computer Society for activities related to the education of a computer-literate population and the pre-professional and professional activities of practitioners engaged in disciplines such as computer engineering, computer science, information technology, information systems, data science, cybersecurity, and software engineering. The PEAB supports these goals by establishing and maintaining programs that address the ongoing needs for professional development in areas including relevant bodies of knowledge characterization, best practices, competencies, ethics, performance norms, and terminology. The board is responsible for recommending, evaluating, initiating, and nurturing programs, products, and services to serve practitioners and their employers. The board is chaired by the Vice President of Professional and Educational Activities, Dr. Cyril Onwubiko. The full board can be found here. Professional Education Products Committee
