In October 1880, Thomas A. Edison published “The Success of the Electric Light,” in The North American Review,” to explain that the adoption of his electric light for domestic use has been delayed “due to the enormous mass of details which have to be mastered before the system can go into operation on a large scale, and on a commercial basis as a rival of the existing system of lighting by gas.” The “enormous mass of details” would include further research and development to improve the lamp, founding companies to manufacture components, and personally funding and supervising a company to build power plants. This talk will focus on the Thomas A. Edison Central Station Construction Department, a little-known entity founded by Edison himself in May 1883, to construct direct-current electric power stations in towns and cities throughout the United States. It built thirteen central stations in Massachusetts, New York, Ohio, and Pennsylvania before being absorbed by the Edison Company for Isolated Lighting in October 1884, coincidently, around the time IEEE was founded. While Edison stepped away from the day-to-day central station business, he continued research in direct current and later alternating current technology. And by the late 1880s, he found himself dragged into a media war with George Westinghouse in what has become the mythical “battle of the currents.” In 1887, Edison opened a new and expanded research laboratory in West Orange, New Jersey and by 1890 his research and business interests moved on to the improved phonograph, the talking doll, motion pictures, ore milling, and other technologies.

The Columbus, OH Section Joint Chapter (SSC37/CAS04) is excited to announce the newest installment to its 2024 lecture series. Thanks to the generous sponsorship from the CAS society, the chapter is proud to present a new series titled "Foundations of Mixed-Signal IC Design: A Practical Approach to Lab-to-Fab." This series will offer a unique blend of lecture-style talks delivered by subject matter experts in the field of integrated circuit design, along with hands-on technical sessions. In addition to the (https://tinytapeout.com/) workshops, the chapter is proud to host subject matter expert Dr. Shane Smith for a two-part series of workshops on printed circuit board (PCB) design fundamentals. This workshop series will introduce participants to the core principles of PCB design, including an overview of materials, construction techniques, and component selection. Participants will learn how to create schematic diagrams, design PCB layouts, perform design rule checks, and generate necessary files for manufacturing. The sessions will also cover creating a Bill of Materials (BOM) and offer an introduction to the fundamentals of PCB assembly. Throughout the workshop, participants will engage in hands-on practice using an open-source PCB design suite to develop their own PCBs, moving from initial concept to final design. The sessions are designed to be interactive, providing practical experience and feedback from PCB experts. By the end of the workshop, participants will be equipped with the knowledge and skills needed to undertake PCB design projects, along with a completed PCB project to demonstrate their newly acquired abilities. Dr. Shane Smith (Ph.D., Electrical and Computer Engineering, The Ohio State University) is the President and co-founder of SenseICs. Before founding SenseICs, Shane worked for more than 15 years in the Electroscience Lab and Department of Physics at The Ohio State University, where he designed, produced, and maintained electronic systems used in integrated circuit research, high energy physics experiments (CERN, Stanford linear accelerator, etc.), and other applications. Shane’s broad expertise covers a range of electrical engineering activities, and his academic publications, which include more than 80 peer-reviewed conference papers and journal articles, have been cited nearly 20,000 times.
