Contribution: This article has shown that self-efficacy in performing complex computer programming tasks and the self-regulation of electrical and electronics engineering undergraduate students varies with respect to the class standing and prior experience in computer programming. Background: Computer programming is an essential skill that all engineers must possess, as most industries require engineers to own this skill. Prior studies discuss programming self-efficacy (PSE) measures; however, these studies do not specifically measure the PSE of electrical and electronics engineering major in the Indian context. Research Questions: The overarching research question of this article is: What factors related to participants’ demographics, vicarious experiences, and performance accomplishments influence the PSE of electrical and electronics engineering students in India? Methodology: To answer the above research question, a study is conducted using quantitative methods in engineering education research. This article focuses on the development of a survey instrument to measure the PSE of electrical and electronics engineering students of India. The survey includes a total of 31 items, content validity and face validity were established. An exploratory factor analysis was conducted, and the final two factors are “basic programming tasks and dependence” and “complex programming tasks and self-regulation.” A multiple regression analysis was performed to find the best fitting model for the two factors. Findings: The regression model with “basic programming tasks and dependence” was not statistically significant and the regression model with “complex programming tasks and self-regulation” was found to be statistically significant with predictors class standing and prior programming experience.

The article focuses on the role of Communications Society (ComSoc) in developing standards projects in the communications and networking area. It discusses ComSoc's position towards the development of standards for communications and networking that will survive in the real world. It also adds that the projects are designed to encourage the entire technical committees to set up their own Standards Subcommittees or at least allow representatives to develop pertinent standard projects. Moreover, Comsoc has set up a standardization series at the "Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (IEEE) Communications Magazine" and cites that the goal of ComSoc is to become the sponsor of choice for standard projects in the information field and networking regions.

The article introduces a series of articles on prognostics and health management, which were presented at the 1st International Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Prognostics and Health Management (PHM) 2008 Conference. They include the precursor parameters to develop a physics-of-failure approach, a methodology to build a damage model, and the calculation of return on investment (ROI) for PHM activities.
