The Columbus STEM & Arts Expo will be taking place at the Polaris Fashion Place on November 3 2024 at 12:00PM - 6:00PM. IEEE Columbus has reserved a booth to connect with our community and IEEE members. This is a great opportunity to take your child or your inner child to experience steam activities and different fields of engineering. We already have enough volunteers for the IEEE table however we would be great-full if you stopped by and introduce yourself. 1500 Polaris Pkwy, Columbus, Ohio, United States, 43240

The Columbus, OH Section Joint Chapter (SSC37/CAS04) is excited to continue the workshops in 2024! Thanks to the generous sponsorship from the CAS society, "(https://r2.ieee.org/columbus-ssccas/blog/2024/01/14/tiny-tapeout-workshop-announcement/)" will continue with a second Tiny Tapeout preparation workshop. These sessions have been geared to guide both students and professionals through the digital design flow, preparing them for submission on one of the (https://tinytapeout.com/) shuttle runs! Sponsorship for the November 8th tapeout has closed, but the chapter is still fielding applications to sponsor 15-20 enthusiastic students and professionals who are eager to participate in the (https://tinytapeout.com/) shuttles next year (more details await in the workshop). The second session in the series focuses on using Verilog with the open-source tools to generate designs. It will begin by helping participants with difficulty they had in setting up tools. After tools are working, participants will split into groups and begin work on an example Verilog project. Work on the Verilog project will be split into modules that can be tested independently. The project may be expanded on to add extra features if desired, but can be fairly easily completed and submitted on its own. Please bring a laptop to work on the project. It is encouraged to have a (https://github.com/). In this workshop we hope to delve into more advanced applications of the digital tool flow, as well as interactive troubleshooting sessions addressing participants' design challenges. Based on feedback received, additional in-person or remote support sessions may be introduced. These workshops will complement lectures delivered by subject matter experts on IC design and testing. By the conclusion of the this session, our objective as society leaders is to furnish participants with a solid understanding of integrated circuit design, fabrication, and testing, with a particular emphasis on leveraging the open-source digital flow offered by the Tiny Tapeout shuttle program This initiative presents a remarkable opportunity for hands-on learning in VLSI design within a supportive environment conducive to skill development.

The current undergraduate electrical engineering curriculum lacks sufficient coverage of quantum engineering, despite the rapid advancements in quantum technologies, including quantum computing, devices, and nanodevices. As we enter the quantum era in all aspects of technology, it is imperative to update the curriculum to prepare future electrical engineers (and technologists) for these emerging fields. We recommend enriching the curriculum with new courses such as (a) Quantum Mechanics for Electrical Engineers, which provides a foundation in quantum principles, (b) Quantum Theory of Solids, a specialized version of solid-state physics tailored to electrical engineering, and (c) Nanotechnology for Electrical Engineers, emphasizing the design and application of nanodevices. A key focus should be on quantum dots as critical components in the development of ultra-short-channel field-effect transistors (FETs) or in medical applications, highlighting their importance in modern nanoelectronics. These curriculum enhancements will equip students with the knowledge and skills to thrive in the quantum-driven future.
