The IEEE Industry Content Platform (ICP) is a NEW and PILOTED initiative aimed at transforming how IEEE engages with the global community of practicing engineers. The ICP provides a home for IEEE content targeted at working engineers and the companies and governmental agencies for which they work. Original content relevant to design and development as well as white papers and illustrative videos can have an IEEE home in ICP. In its most novel feature, the ICP leverages recent developments in agentic generative AI to pioneer an innovative model for academic-to-practitioner content transformation. The AI-transformed articles, based on original IEEE research content – are approved by human editors prior to publication and are tailored for industry. They highlight key insights from the research, including practical applications, implementation steps, and related standards. In addition, the ICP can transform video content into applied engineering summaries and will also support the transformation of presentations and other content. This session will explore the ICP’s strategy, technical underpinnings, and the vision for delivering industry-relevant content across IEEE platforms like Xplore and DiscoveryPoint. Join us to learn how this initiative is helping IEEE reclaim its relevance to industry and expanding its reach to a broader community of practicing engineers. IMPORTANT NOTES AND REMINDERS: - This is a new and piloted program. - At the end of the session, we would like interested members to provide feedback on both the pilot system and its AI-generated and assisted content! For example, please visit the sampled content at the I(https://r5.ieee.org/pikespeak/steam-teams-notes/#1740225644560-fe3456ef-7157). Please note that these samples are preliminary where in its current state can take a YouTube URL and transform it into a web-based one-pager. - Although the PPS URL in item 2 has a STEAM/STEM focus, the PRIMARY goal and objective is to target the IEEE content to working engineers at companies and governmental agencies. - In item 3, the IEEE content can be those articles found in the subscription of (https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/browse/periodicals/title%22), white papers, illustrative videos and other original content to design and development.

I will cover a general introduction to the AWR Microwave Office design environment, showcasing schematic and layout design, optimization, and EM simulation. Will also present some advanced features such as thermal simulation of III/V devices and tools for phased array design. This will be an informal presentation, and I can pivot to other topics that the audience might be interested in.

With the rising interest in edge computing, and the addition of AI/ML functionality, nanopower circuits are in great demand to reduce the quiescent power consumption of remote sensors. Moreover, due to limited battery size, energy harvesting is used to provide more power to sensors and to extend the lifetime. In this tutorial, fundamental building blocks for nanopower circuits will be covered, including startupless low-voltage references, low-frequency clocks, and LDO regulators. Energy harvesters as well as fundamental energy harvesting interface circuits will be surveyed. Attendees can expect a deep dive into fundamental and practical analog techniques to design nanopower systems. Speaker(s): Joey, TBD, Colorado, United States
