CIR & CIS: How to Design a Product that Actually Works
Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/435806Presentation: How to Design a Product that Actually Works Abstract: Many electronic products just don’t work very well. The products are full of both hardware and software bugs and often fail right out of the box or within a few weeks. Then the product joins millions of other pieces of junk in the landfill. Learn how to put in just a small amount of extra effort that makes the difference between a product that is junk and a product that is useful, manufacturable, and profitable. From getting the requirements correct, to passing electromagnetic interference tests that every product is required to pass by the FCC, to being able to build thousands or millions in the factory, there are pitfalls easily avoided every step of the way. Join Dr. Steve Murphy and the IEEE CIR for a discussion on the planning, design, and improvement involved with the designing of a “Good Electronic Product”.

IEEE Distinguished Lecture: Probabilistic Computing With p-Bits: Optimization, Machine Learning and Quantum Simulation
Room 201 Broadway St, Boulder, CO, United StatesIEEE Distinguished Lecture The slowing down of Moore’s Law growth has coincided with escalating computational demands from machine learning and artificial intelligence. An emerging trend in computing involves building physics-inspired computers that leverage the intrinsic properties of physical systems for specific domains of applications. Probabilistic computing with probabilistic bits (p-bits) has emerged as a promising candidate in this area, offering an energy-efficient approach to probabilistic algorithms and applications -. Several implementations of p-bits, ranging from standard complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology to nanodevices, have been demonstrated. Among these, the most promising p-bits appear to be based on stochastic magnetic tunnel junctions (sMTJs) . Such sMTJs harness the natural randomness in low-barrier nanomagnets to create energy-efficient and fast fluctuations, up to gigahertz frequencies . In this talk, I will discuss how magnetic p-bits can be combined with conventional CMOS to create hybrid probabilistic-classical computers for various applications. I will provide recent examples of how p-bits are naturally applicable to combinatorial optimization, such as solving the Boolean satisfiability problem , energy-based generative machine learning models like deep Boltzmann machines, and quantum simulation for investigating many-body quantum systems. Through experimentally informed projections for scaled p-bit computers using sMTJs, I will demonstrate how physics-inspired probabilistic computing can lead to graphics-processing-unit-like success stories for a sustainable future in computing.

The Future of Work: Engaged Leadership and Empowered Teams.
Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/427394Do you still use a landline with rotary dial to make telephone calls? No! You should not be using mid-20th Century leadership practices either! Twentieth century leadership practices are no longer effective. In today's dynamic business landscape, marked by hybrid and remote work, our greatest challenge isn't just managing effectively—it's leading with trust. For 21st century workplaces, the key to success lies in this trust-based leadership. Why? Because trusted employees are committed employees. To enhance retention by up to 65% and increase productivity by as much as 50%, we need to cultivate Engaged Leadership skills alongside traditional management capabilities. How do we cultivate the Engaged Leadership skills which can engender trust? The answer lies in learning and practice. This workshop uses real stories from industry to illustrate the differences between engaged and disengaged leadership practices, between empowered and disempowered teams, and between trusted and untrusted cultures. If you have questions you would like to submit before the presentation, please submit them (https://events.vtools.ieee.org/tego_/event/edit/here.https:/forms.gle/121TeMgMAu2MEJtv7) (https://events.vtools.ieee.org/tego_/event/edit/here.https:/forms.gle/121TeMgMAu2MEJtv7) Speaker(s): Leslie, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/427394

Engineering the Future: The Essential Role of Cybersecurity in Safeguarding Innovation
Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/436144Abstract: As engineering systems become increasingly interconnected and reliant on digital technologies, cybersecurity is emerging as a critical concern across various fields. This presentation explores the role of cybersecurity in safeguarding innovations in industrial control systems, IoT devices, biomedical systems, and critical infrastructure. Key topics include the vulnerabilities associated with SCADA systems, the risks posed by poorly secured IoT networks, and the challenges of protecting connected medical devices. Real-world case studies, such as the Stuxnet worm, Mirai botnet, and WannaCry ransomware attacks, illustrate the devastating consequences of cyberattacks on essential systems. The presentation also covers best practices for engineers, such as secure coding and security-by-design principles, and highlights emerging trends like AI-driven cybersecurity and quantum encryption. Emphasizing the engineer’s responsibility in integrating security at every stage of development, this talk provides actionable insights for building resilient, future-proof systems.

The Technical Publishing World from Academia to Industry
Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/433533Publish or perish is often mentioned as a requirement for tenure, but the need to publish goes far beyond academia requirements. In this talk, I go through the definition of publishing and how broad the technical publishing world is from technical research journals to industry white papers. Topics include the difference between traditional publishing versus self-publishing, industry versus academia, and journals versus books. Finally, some general suggestions for technical writing are presented, such as "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." Speaker(s): Dr Lori Rebenitsch Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/433533
