Developed by the American Association of Engineering Societies, of which IEEE is a founding member, Voices of Innovation will be a daily radio series of 2-minute radio spots featuring engineers talking about their innovations, careers and work. Each day the program will tell how engineering contributes to the overall well-being of society.

Voices of Innovation allows engineers to tell their own stories and speak with personal passion about their professions and how engineering affects everyday life. A pre-launch demo CD has been produced featuring engineers talking about artificial hands, earthquake engineering and the world's fastest plane.

Voices of Innovation is slated to begin on 1 April 2002 and run through 31 March 2003. It is made possible by a generous grant from the United Engineering Foundation and is being produced by Jim Metzner, the radio personality behind the widely successful program Pulse of the Planet. Several major-market radio stations have expressed interest in carrying the series.
