Title: Interconnection Scaling – Going Big and Going Small Abstract: This presentation will cover a high-level overview of interconnections between integrated circuits – trends over the past several decades and what technologies may support future trends, along with a discussion of basic signal integrity considerations for such interconnections. Over most of the past 50 years the scaling of silicon integration was the winning hand for increased performance with packaging and interconnections scaling at substantial lower rates. Fundamental challenges in nanometer process nodes have effectively ended the steadily increasing benefits of Moore’s Law so new paradigms for 2D, 2.5D, and 3D Heterogeneous Integration packaging technologies are being proposed and developed to keep system performance scaling moving forward. Rapidly moving a lot of data between chips is fundamental to all these approaches. One approach for dense, high bandwidth interconnections will be discussed in some detail to illustrate tradeoffs and discuss the limits of how interconnections between chips can reach the limits of interconnections within chips.

Abstract: This presentation explores the essential skills and knowledge needed by control system engineers in the space launch industry, focusing on the gap between academic theory and practical industry applications. While graduates learn key concepts like linear and nonlinear systems, root-locus methods, and Matlab-based analysis, professionals in the field must go further by mastering Nichols plots, designing control schemes for multiple-input systems, and performing complex analyses in languages like Fortran. This talk aims to prepare future engineers by highlighting these advanced skills, ensuring they are well-equipped to contribute to the evolving demands of the space launch sector. Attendees will learn how to apply their academic foundations to real-world challenges and innovate within the industry.

A presentation by Author Wes Marshall who has generated international acclaim for his book, "Killed by A Traffic Engineer" . As reviewed by Susan Handy, Professor, U of California, Davis "A blistering critique of the disconnect between what transportation engineers do and what the research tells us about traffic safety. This book is a wake-up call for all of Us." https://www.planetizen.com/features/130964-book-review-killed-traffic-engineer Speaker(s): Wes, Agenda: 7:00 pm Doors Open 7:15 PM Welcome- Kris Waage 7:25 Did Ja Hear 7:40 pm Main Presentation- Wes Marshall, PhD.
