When people talk about their careers, it is often easy to tell others what they do. Sharing why they do what they do can sometimes be a challenge for some people. However, Electrical Engineers who work in medical product development environments can always say why they do what they do. When a new product gets released to the market, the product can be used to improve the lives or well-being of others. Sometimes, the product can even be used to save someone’s life. That’s a great reason to get involved in developing medical products! No matter how your day, week, month, or year is going, you always know that the products you create can have a major impact on someone’s life and that’s a great feeling. In this talk, Mr. Mozelewski will discuss careers in medical product development and offer many tips on how Electrical Engineering students can position themselves to take advantage of future job opportunities with medical device companies.

A live orientation session will be held on Thursday, February 20. Attendees will have access to the recorded session and exercises for two months (until May 27, 2025) after the last live session ends! This is a hands-on course combining pre-recorded lectures with live Q&A and workshop sessions in the popular and powerful open-source Python programming language. Pre-Recorded Videos: The course format includes pre-recorded video lectures that students can watch on their own schedule, and an unlimited number of times, prior to live Q&A workshop sessions on Zoom with the instructor. The videos will also be available to the students for viewing for up to two months after the conclusion of the course. Course Summary This course builds on the IEEE course “DSP for Wireless Communications” also taught by Dan Boschen, further detailing digital signal processing most applicable to practical real-world problems and applications in radio communication systems. Students need not have taken the prior course if they are familiar with fundamental DSP concepts such as the Laplace and Z transform and basic digital filter design principles. This course brings together core DSP concepts to address signal processing challenges encountered in radios and modems for modern wireless communications. Specific areas covered include carrier and timing recovery, equalization, automatic gain control, and considerations to mitigate the effects of RF and channel distortions such as multipath, phase noise and amplitude/phase offsets. Dan builds an intuitive understanding of the underlying mathematics through the use of graphics, visual demonstrations, and real-world applications for mixed signal (analog/digital) modern transceivers. This course is applicable to DSP algorithm development with a focus on meeting practical hardware development challenges, rather than a tutorial on implementations with DSP processors. Now with Jupyter Notebooks!

The 15th IEEE Integrated STEM Education Conference (ISEC ’25) held on March 15, 2025 (Saturday – 9.00 AM – 5.00 PM EDT ) at Princeton University, NJ, USA. Visit the website for more information - https://ewh.ieee.org/conf/stem/index.html Please visit the registration page for fees - https://edas.info/registerPerson.php?c=32825 IEEE.TV will also stream the Keynote Talks live. IEEE ISEC is a unique program that bridges the gap between science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines and engages students in hands-on activities and projects rooted in the engineering and design fields. By creating a platform that blends together different academic and professional backgrounds, IEEE ISEC encourages students to explore creative and innovative ways to solve complex problems. Through activities like robotics, coding, 3D printing, and design thinking, students develop the essential skills needed to face the challenges of the future. IEEE ISEC's on-site event will also provide students with the opportunity to network with peers and industry experts, broadening their horizons and fostering their individual career paths. The event includes: - 5 Keynote speakers - Panel discussion on "Responsible Use of AI in STEM Education" - Dozens of poster presentations by K-12 students - Multiple workshops and industry exhibits - Full papers and Work-In-Progress papers presentations - And Special Exhibitor - the IEEE MOVE truck!!!

Cyber Attack Detection and Quick Response Strategy With regard to online activities, one should really be aware of the existence of cyber threats, metaphorically described as some sort of 'digital enemies' that seek many ways to compromise our systems. In this regard, we go on to discuss the very important topic entitled "Cyber Attack Detection and Quick Response Strategy," concerning recognition of the potential threats such as phishing, malware, and DDoS attack, and understand ways to handle them. We are also going to cover how to develop investigative skills that could help in the detection of irregular activities, and development of a contingency plan to be implemented when an attack is successful. We'll also look at advanced hardening strategies and why training your team and security assessments are so important. By the end of our discussion, participants will be fully empowered in the protection of digital assets, identification of any likely threats, and the neutralization of such threats to render the cyber adversary impotent. Speaker(s): Mr Sairam Durgaraju Agenda: WEBINAR: 7:00 - 8:00 P.M. The Zoom Webinar link and password will be forwarded to all registered participants after Noon on the day of the meeting.

Join us for a transformative session exploring the critical intersections of safety, diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in the engineering profession. Led by Dr. Mark McBride-Wright, author of The SAFE Leader and a globally recognized advocate for inclusion in engineering, this webinar dives deep into how traditional norms of masculinity impact safety culture, workplace inclusion, and mental health in engineering. Discover actionable insights from the SAFE Leader framework—Share, Act, Feel, Empower—and learn how to foster an environment where every engineer can thrive. By addressing societal pressures, breaking down barriers, and empowering leaders to embrace DEI as a core component of safety culture, participants will leave with tools to drive meaningful change in their organizations. This webinar is a must-attend for engineers, leaders, and DEI advocates striving to create safer, more inclusive engineering spaces. Speaker(s): Dr. Mark McBride-Wright Agenda: IEEE-USA's free webinars/events are designed to help you find your next job, maintain your career, negotiate an appropriate salary, understand ethical considerations in the workplace and learn about other career-building strategies and public policy developments that affect your profession.

Social event for IEEE CLE Section Members at TopGolf. This event is sponsored by the Life Members Affinity Group but is open to other-than Life Members as well. It is anticipated that we will have two or three bays at TopGolf for as many as 18 Members. You do not have to be good at golf to participate. TopGolf is a super duper driving range with electronic wizardry! In addition to the game, Food & (mostly non-alcoholic) Beverage is provided. One alcoholic drink per Member to be comp'd by Section. We are doing this event on a Wednesday, which is a non-busy night at TopGolf. The bays are available on a walk-in basis. Should we have to wait for bays, then we will do so at the bar/restaurant. There is free parking. To help us plan this event (i.e. reserve the correct number of bays on March 19), we are asking Members to pay $10 each upon registration. As the Cleveland IEEE CLE Section is subsidizing this event, non-member guests may join in but will need to pay $50 each. In spite of what the registration process says, the money can be refunded. 5820 Rockside Woods Blvd., North, Independence, Ohio, United States, 44131
