Banquet registration URL: If innovation is the key to American competitiveness and prosperity in the 21st century, then engineering brain power is the essential ingredient. Engineers create jobs, perhaps more than any other profession. Through the development of their ideas, existing companies grow and new companies are born. This talk will explore the public policy aspects of maintaining a vibrant engineering workforce by examining five important questions: Who thinks we need more (or fewer) engineers? What are the trends? Is the flat world a threat, an opportunity, or a strategy? If we need more engineers, should we grow them or import them? How do we show our children that engineers change the world? Gordon Day was the 2009 President of IEEE-USA, the unit of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) that supports the career and public policy interests of 210,000 IEEE members in the U.S. He is also a past president of the IEEE Photonics Society, and a candidate for IEEE President-elect in the 2010 election. Day spent 33 years in research and management at the National Institute of Standards and Technology, Boulder, Colorado, Laboratories, where he contributed to some of NIST’s best known research in optoelectronics. In 1994, he founded the NIST Optoelectronics Division and guided it to an international reputation for measurements and standards. Since retiring in 2003, he has served as a science advisor to Sen. Jay Rockefeller and as Director of Government Relations for the Optoelectronics Industry Development Association. He is a Fellow of the IEEE, the AAAS, the Optical Society of America, and the Institute of Physics (UK). He received a Ph.D. in electrical engineering from the University of Illinois.

Seminar: Challenges Near the Limit of CMOS Scaling” by Yuan TaurPosted by Mark Bussert in noticesSeminar based on IEEE Expert Now Course Seminar Title: “Challenges Near the Limit of CMOS Scaling” by Yuan Taur When: December 2, 2009, 2:40pm-4:10pm As a part of the EDS Boise Chapter initiative to promote technical activities in Treasure Valley, we invite you to attend the seminar (short course) prepared by Dr. Yuan Taur for IEEE Expert Now. You will have an opportunity to learn about new materials/devices required for continued CMOS scaling to 10-nm regime and participate in discussions led and moderated by an area expert. IEEE Expert Now Courses are based on the best IEEE educational tutorials and workshops (http://www.ieee.org/web/education/Expert_Now_IEEE/index.html). Attendees will have the option of receiving Continuing Education Units (CEUs) for attending the event (through The International Association of Continuing Education and Training, IACET). We hope to provide quality educational materials via the IEEE Program to enhance local educational activities and further support the value of IEEE Membership for members in Boise area. Thanks, “The IEEE has been approved as an Authorized Provider by the International Association for Continuing Education and Training (IACET). In obtaining this approval, the IEEE has demonstrated that it complies with the IACET Standards which are widely recognized as standards of good practice internationally. As a result of their Authorized Provider membership status, IEEE is authorized to offer IACET CEUS for its programs that qualify under the IACET Standards.” There will be an IEEE member meeting at 7:30 PM, Tuesday, December 8th at Fuddruckers in Boise, located at 1666 Entertainment Ave, in Boise. The agenda of this member meeting will include Boise section officer elections, member discussion on frequency of member meetings, review & development of section bylaws, and future membership activities. While all officer positions are currently filled, it is important for members to understand that all officer positions are available for nominations to serve in the year 2010. There have been no nominations for 2010 candidates and anyone who is interested must submit their candidacy by notifying any current officer, before or at the beginning of the member meeting on Tuesday, December 8th. Member votes may be submitted without attending the meeting by sending the desired candidate name & position, with your name, and your IEEE member number to the Boise Section Chair (mbussert@ieee.org) or any other Boise section IEEE officer via email. The current list of candidates will be updated on the IEEE Boise Section Website (www.ieeeboise.org) as they are available. Section Officer position job descriptions and qualifications can be found at the URLs below: http://www.ieee.org/web/geo_activities/units/volunteer/qualify.html Available Officer Positions & Current Boise Section Officers: This is just a quick notice to all member societies to remind them to check that they have met their minimum meeting requirements for the year. Please document your society meetings to ensure that the society meeting requirements are met. Thank you, Mark Bussert Boise Section Chair The College of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Boise State University is offering a course in Advanced Silicon Technology in the Spring Semester. More information on EE441/541 is available here or contact the professor, Maria Mitkova. Anyone interested in forming a local chapter of the Engineering Management Society (EMS) can email Dale Wilson. If enough interest is shown, he will schedule a meeting for discussion. A section of the web page is available for local job openings. If you know of any job openings in your company that can help out members of our section, please let us know. We’ll put a short notice in our email updates and a full listing on the web page. Have you changed your job, address, phone number, or email address? Update your IEEE membership information on-line!
