IEEE Region 1 southern area, the New Jersey and New York chapters invited members and non-members to Engineer Their Future through a one day event where participants were given opportunities to network among themselves, enjoy technical tutorials, and listen to CTOs and university professors describe how Communications and Green Technologies are changing the way business is being done.
The event was free to IEEE members. Fees were minimal for non members - the cost of covering meals, and the fees could be applied against new memberships. This high value event was a great opportunity for every IEEE members to enroll other new members since IEEE organization provides financial incentives this year to the recruiting IEEE member for each and every new members that are enrolled.
Among the speakers were the CTOs of Telus, Telcordia, Triveni Digital, VPs from IBM Research, Avaya Strategy and Technology, Technology director of CERDEC. The chair of Computer Science at Columbia and the head of the wireless networking research lab at Rutgers also were featured speakers. Other talks included topics such as wireless in the MTA, Green Technologies, Next Generation Networks.

How To Get Congress To Give You $240 Billion
view programIn this program, IEEE-USA's Senior Legislative Representative for Grassroots Activities, Russ Harrison, discusses the intersection between public policy and engineering. In 2009, Congress focused on engineers and technology more than at any other point during the past 50 years, perhaps ever. Your elected officials have been debating major changes to US policy in fields that employ or affect IEEE members including energy, space, education, intellectual property law, immigration, and broadband. This attention gives us, as professionals, opportunities, but also poses risks. Learn what IEEE-USA is doing in Washington to try to make sure Congress gets it right. And learn some simple things that you can do to influence your own elected officials.
The Truth About the JFK Assassination. Signal Processing Tells The Story.
view programPresident John F Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas in November of 1963. Although an investigation soon concluded that only one gunman, Lee Harvey Oswald, shot at President Kennedy, there is a community of skeptics that exist to this day who think that there was another gunman. Thirteen years later, the US Congress Select Committee on Assassinations reopened an investigation of the President's assassination. The Committee learned about some recordings of the Dallas Police radio traffic, and they speculated that somewhere on these recordings there might be the sounds of gunfire, perhaps even allowing investigators to determine how many shots had been fired. In 1982, the investigation was reopened yet again. Mr. Charles Rader, an IEEE member, served on the Committee on Ballistic Acoustics. Our program is based on the science of "Signal Processing" and discusses the findings of this committee.
