Grayson Randall will provide an overview of the IEEE MOVE Program. Join us to learn about the mission and technology of the MOVE program. The IEEE MOVE volunteers respond to the hardest hit disaster areas to quickly provide the power and communications to the people impacted by a disaster. When not responding to disasters, MOVE provides public outreach and STEM education at schools, universities, IEEE events and public events.

External factors unrelated to technology that include global pandemics and wars have influenced the development and applications of technology. As a result, the world has transformed itself and it continues to evolve and reinvent itself through technology. Technology is a key enabler of global transformation driven by comprehensive developments, often called “Megatrends.” Megatrends coalesce around multiple interacting or mutually dependent developments, last for a long time, and have broad impacts not just to technology, but to business, society and the environment. Simply put, they impact all of humanity. In this talk we present predictions of individual technology developments as well as megatrends.

October EXCOM meeting. Agenda forthcoming. ***CANCELED*** Bldg: Slatt's Pub, 4858 Cooper Road, Blue Ash, Ohio, United States, 45242

Dr. Kott will discuss two major roles of AI, how they are evolving and what drives that inevitable evolution. The first role is the enabler of lethal (or indirectly lethal) autonomy, the growing reality of the modern battlefield. The second role is the enabler of the new generation of battle command. These roles will (and already begin) grow more profound and dominant. he will explore the reasons of why these trends are unavoidable regardless of policy debates. Historical illustrations and lessons of recent and ongoing conflicts will help the discussion.

Lehigh Valley IEEE Women in Engineering is hosting a virtual speed networking event for students at 6:30pm on Wednesday October 18th. Students will have the opportunity to present their “elevator pitch” to a number of Lehigh Valley professionals acting as networking coaches. The event will use Zoom breakout rooms to rotate the students through several coaches over the course of the event. The event offers a safe space for students to hone their interviewing skills while expanding their professional network. To participate, each student must be ready with a 3 minute “elevator pitch” to introduce themselves to each networking coach, explain who they are, what they are interested in, and what they are looking for. Each coach will provide feedback and help to refine the student’s pitch. Please note: spaces are limited, so we kindly request that you register only if you are committed to attending. Don’t miss out on this fantastic opportunity to boost your networking skills! Note also that students must be 18 or older to participate. Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/377135
