What is an S-PAVe?
• Projects or activities conceived by IEEE
Student Branches to develop an awareness of
engineering professionalism
• Funded by IEEE through RAB/SAC/SPAA and
IEEE USA SPAC
• Students develop the idea and submit a
proposal for funding
• If approved, students receive funding to
proceed with their planned venture and report
results to IEEE
S-PAVe Program Goals
• Develop prototype activities/materials to enhance
Student Member awareness of professional concerns
• Increase Student Membership, with focus on
Freshmen, Sophomores, and Juniors
• Provide new services for Student Branch Membership
• Enable Student Branches to gain experience in project
planning and organization
Ventures
• Can be of any nature except those that duplicate the
Student Professional Awareness Conference (S-PAC)
• Suggested Formats: Service, Workshop, Video,
Simulation, Resource Materials
• Examples
- Make a video tape depicting ethical dilemmas
- Develop an in-house training program that
instructs students on how to run a meeting
- Establish a resume evaluation service
- Create a computer package that gives basic
ideas on setting up your own company
• Can span days, weeks or months, but should not
generally exceed one school semester
Elements of a Venture Proposal
• Venture summary form (from IEEE)
• Venture description and milestone list
• Budget
• Support letters
Student Branch Counselor
Regional S-PAC Coordinator (Regions 1- 6 only)
• Financial support letter
Venture Budget
• One or two pages itemizing income sources and expenditures
• A base amount of funds is provided (up to US$200.00)
and additional funds on a matching basis
• One additional dollar of S-PAVe funds (over the base
amount) may be requested for every dollar committed to
the venture from other sources (e.g., IEEE Section,
Student Branch, or local companies)
• All requested S-PAVe funds may not be awarded
• The maximum S-PAVe award is US$500.00
Venture Budget Example
Assume that US$175.00 has been secured from the IEEE
Section
• US$375.00 can be requested from S-PAVe funds
- US$200.00 in base funding
- US$175.00 as a dollar for dollar match to Section funds
• Total income would be US$550.00
- US$175.00 Section funds
- US$375.00 S-PAVe funds
S-PAVe FUNDS WILL BE PROVIDED TO THE STUDENT
BRANCH ONCE THE VENTURE HAS BEEN APPROVED FOR
FUNDING.
