Dr Gary Wong receives the 2023 IEEE EAB Meritorious Achievement Award in Pre-University Education

The 2023 IEEE Educational Activities Board (EAB) Award Presentation Ceremony was held on November 17, 2023 in the United States to recognise and honour major contributions to engineering and technical education. Dr Gary Wong, Associate Professor of the Faculty’s Academic Unit of Human Communication, Development, and Information Sciences, received the IEEE EAB Meritorious Achievement Award in Pre-University Education for his contribution to the research and knowledge exchange of computational thinking in interdisciplinary STEM education for pre-university students.

The IEEE EAB Meritorious Achievement Award in Pre-University Education is given to individuals who work in a pre-university school, or those that influence school-based activities for pre-university students. The awardees have inspired an appreciation and understanding of mathematics, science and technology and the engineering process in pre-university students, and have encouraged them to pursue technical careers.
