TryEngineering.org is a portal for pre-university students, their parents, teachers and school counselors, which provides information about all branches of engineering, technology and computing, and all available accredited programs for undergraduate and graduate study in these disciplines. The Teacher In-Service Program (TISP) trains IEEE volunteers to work with pre-university teachers in order to integrate engineering and engineering design into the pre-university curriculum. Since 2003 TISP has expanded from being exclusively a US-based program to Argentina, Brazil, Canada, China, Malaysia, Peru, Portugal, Trinidad and Tobago, Uruguay, and South Africa.
