Jarred Vanderbilt is a professional athlete in the National Basketball Association (NBA). He currently plays for the Los Angeles Lakers and grew up in Houston before going pro. Jarred believes in supporting future generations as they prepare for success in the classroom and beyond. That\u2019s why he launched the Jarred Vanderbilt Foundation which hosts amazing back to school events annually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Members of the IEEE Houston Section promote the engineering profession in the 4th largest city in America. Houston is affectionately known as \u201cSpace City\u201d (for its legacy in the aerospace industry) and \u201cClutch City\u201d (for the amazing run the Houston Rockets enjoyed en route to back to back NBA Championships). That\u2019s why we decided to make an out of this world investment to inspire the next generation of engineers. We didn\u2019t do it by ourselves. We are, after all, one IEEE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The IEEE R5 Industry engagement team reached out to IEEE staff with a bold idea: help the Jarred Vanderbilt Foundation equip 600 students with school supplies and a connection to IEEE. Their response was instant. All of a sudden, IEEE Member Geographic Activities & IEEE Publishing Operations sprang into action, shipping an IEEE Spectrum magazine for every backpack we committed to fill. The momentum was building for an incredible experience\u2026We were sponsoring the Jarred Vanderbilt Foundation\u2019s 5th Annual Drive Thru Backpack Giveaway!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the day of the event, we went all out promoting IEEE Spectrum magazine and, most of all, IEEE TryEngineering. Securing logo placement next to AT&T, the Los Angeles Lakers, the Houston Astros, the City of Houston, Klutch Sports Group and multiple public safety agencies meant a different level of visibility for this amazing educational resource. With Houston hosting the IEEE TryEngineering Summer Institute at Rice University, we believe that putting a \u201cmag in every bag\u201d will generate more demand for TryEngineering across Space City for years to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<figure

Brown School of Engineering the RCEL’s innovative programming enhances traditional engineering education by providing skills not typically covered in the standard curriculum, such as leadership, communication, and project management.<br><br>Established in 2009 through a generous gift from Rice alumni John (’73, ’74) and Ann (’75) Doerr, RCEL’s mission is to inspire, educate, and develop ethical leaders in technology who will excel in research, industry, non-engineering career paths, or entrepreneurship. Its efforts culminated in the approval of the official Engineering Leadership Certificate, a multi-year program comprising courses, labs, and RCEL-specific learning experiences that supplement the core curriculum of the School of Engineering.<br><br>Volunteer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/christophersanderson\/\">Christopher Sanderson<\/a> shared that through his volunteer work, he witnessed firsthand how RCEL equips students with the tools to become inspiring leaders, exceptional team members, effective communicators, and bold entrepreneurs. The program’s emphasis on real-world applications and ethical leadership prepares students to make a positive impact in their respective fields.<br><br>Professional societies like the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ieee.org\">Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)<\/a> can play a crucial role in the development of programs that help technical professionals develop essential leadership skills that provide engineers with business strategy, finance, and management skills, bridging the gap between technical expertise and leadership.<br><br>By combining RCEL’s academic leadership training with IEEE Houston volunteers, we can better prepare the next generation of engineers to lead with integrity and innovation.<br><br>For more information about RCEL and its programs, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/lnkd.in\/gws_sgG7\">https:\/\/lnkd.in\/gws_sgG7<\/a><br><br>To learn more about IEEE Houston Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/search\/results\/all\/?keywords=%23stem&origin=HASH_TAG_FROM_FEED\">#STEM<\/a> volunteer opportunities, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/lnkd.in\/g-Gtb76q\">https:\/\/lnkd.in\/g-Gtb76q<\/a><br><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/search\/results\/all\/?keywords=%23riceuniversity&origin=HASH_TAG_FROM_FEED\">#RiceUniversity<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/search\/results\/all\/?keywords=%23rcel&origin=HASH_TAG_FROM_FEED\">#RCEL<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/search\/results\/all\/?keywords=%23engineeringleadership&origin=HASH_TAG_FROM_FEED\">#EngineeringLeadership<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/search\/results\/all\/?keywords=%23ieee&origin=HASH_TAG_FROM_FEED\">#IEEE<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/search\/results\/all\/?keywords=%23stemeducation&origin=HASH_TAG_FROM_FEED\">#STEMEducation<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/search\/results\/all\/?keywords=%23futureleaders&origin=HASH_TAG_FROM_FEED\">#FutureLeaders<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This past Spring 2025 semester, the IEEE Houston Section member volunteer had the privilege of volunteering with the Rice Center for Engineering Leadership (RCEL) at Rice University’s George R.

Charles Stein presented “<strong>Mars Space Colony: A Game of Standardization”,<\/strong> coaching four teams to define standards for a space mission. The Honored Ones, Red Planet, DMSJ, and the Fresh Starters elected team chairs and reporting secretaries while reaching Consensus on vehicle charging and transportation protocols.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meaningful connections were made across academia and industry.
