IEEE ANNOUNCES FREE ONLINE TRAINING SESSIONS FOR RESEARCHERS IN FOUR KEY
TECHNOLOGIES

Technology-Specific Training Scheduled for Fall 2003


9 September 2003 -- Piscataway, NJ -- This month, the Institute of
Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) will begin offering free,
technology-specific online training to users of IEEE technical content,
including IEEE journals, magazines and conference proceedings. Each of
these courses will focus on competitive intelligence and the use of IEEE
technical content in the creation of intellectual property, including
patents, for specific technologies within the scope of electrical
engineering and computer science.

     These free online sessions are oriented to executives, engineers,
researchers and designers in these technologies. Each course will be
offered twice to accommodate attendees in different time zones. Sessions
take one hour, will be held at both 10 AM or 7 PM EDT, and require access
to a phone line and high-speed Internet connection.

     Sessions are scheduled for professionals in the following four
technologies:


     Semiconductors      30 September

     Aerospace and Defense    28 October

     Biomedical Engineering   29 October

     Information Technology   18 November
