TryEngineering Summer Institutes – Summer 2023 Camps (ages 13-17) – On Campus at Rice University, University of Pennsylvania, and University of San Diego
At the TryEngineering Summer Institute (https://tryengineeringinstitute.ieee.org/), teens will explore various engineering fields, such as electrical, civil, mechanical, and aerospace. Our STEM summer course allows you to meet working engineers and experience VIP tours of engineering companies and centers. Learn new skills and engage in hands-on projects that explore how engineers can solve real-world problems. Program highlights found here: https://tryengineeringinstitute.ieee.org/summer-program/ See tuition information for enrollment in one 10-day session online-- these are on-campus residential camps with commuter-day options.

6 MW, MISSION CRITICAL, N+1, EPS & EPSS AT THE CORPORAL MICHAEL J. CRESCENZ VA MEDICAL CENTER (NINE YEARS LATER)
6 MW, MISSION CRITICAL, N+1, EPS & EPSS AT THE CORPORAL MICHAEL J. CRESCENZ VA MEDICAL CENTER (NINE YEARS LATER) The flawlessly executed project won Notable Engineering Achievement Award in the Delaware Valley in 2015. This course will review the highlights of accomplishment, upon which the Award was based, and the Innovation Design of Foundations, the System Integration for the Development of the PLC Program and Operation, Maintenance and Testing Screens of the Emergency Power Supply System (EPSS) and for the Planning and Execution of the addition of the Central Utility System to the EPSS, which included the transfer of electrical feeders to 49 automatic transfer switches throughout the facility, enabling the uninterrupted operation of the Medical Center. Speaker(s): Joseph F Maida, PE, ***CANCELED*** Agenda: WEBINAR: 7:00 - 8:00 P.M.

Fusion Energy
Nuclear Fusion has advanced significantly in the past 20 years from a university‐driven, academic, government‐funded field to a private, privately funded industry. Today there are more than 30 firms around the world with stated plans to build the world’s first power producing fusion power plant. These companies have raised over 6 billion dollars in private capital and in November 2021, private investment into fusion surpassed government funding into fusion for the first time in US history. Certainly, many of these firms will fail, due to the high risk, but if one firm succeeds it would offer the world a fundamentally new energy source. NLF Consulting was founded in 2018 to help investors understand the field of nuclear fusion. The firm assembles teams of fusion subject matter experts (mostly retired staff from academia, government laboratories and industry) to assess the quality of startup pitches on behalf of investors. NLF has worked with Honda, Westinghouse, the Naval Research Laboratory, and other organizations to navigate this space. In this talk, the founder of NLF will walk through the kinds of questions that investors ask when evaluating fusion as an investment opportunity and will lay out good resources (books, etc..) for outsider who are trying to get involved with this field. The talk will also discuss the broad industry trend of adding superconducting wire and magnet to existing fusion approaches and what that means for future fusion devices.

CIT Summer Series – Nael Abu-Ghazaleh – Security challenges and opportunities at the Intersection of Architecture and ML/AI
This is a weekly session of the CIT Summer Series, with Nael Abu-Ghazaleh presenting Security challenges and opportunities at the Intersection of Architecture and ML/AI : Machine learning is an increasingly important computational workload as data-driven deep learning models are becoming increasingly important in a wide range of application spaces. Computer systems, from the architecture up, have been impacted by ML in two primary directions: (1) ML is an increasingly important computing workload, with new accelerators and systems targeted to support both training and inference at scale; and (2) ML supporting architecture decisions, with new machine learning based algorithms controlling systems to optimize their performance, reliability and robustness. In this talk, I will explore the intersection of security, ML and architecture, identifying both security challenges and opportunities. Machine learning systems are vulnerable to new attacks including adversarial attacks crafted to fool a classifier to the attacker’s advantage, membership inference attacks attempting to compromise the privacy of the training data, and model extraction attacks seeking to recover the hyperparameters of a (secret) model. Architecture can be a target of these attacks when supporting ML, but also provides an opportunity to develop defenses against them, which I will illustrate with three examples from our recent work. First, I show how ML based hardware malware detectors can be attacked with adversarial perturbations to the Malware and how we can develop detectors that resist these attacks. Second, I will also show an example of a microarchitectural side channel attacks that can be used to extract the secret parameters of a neural network and potential defenses against it. Finally, I will also discuss how architecture can be used to make ML more robust against adversarial and membership inference attacks using the idea of approximate computing. I will conclude with describing some other potential open problems. Speaker(s): Nael Abu-Ghazaleh, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/364001
IEEE COLUMBUS WOMEN IN ENGINEERING AND YOUNG PROFESSIONALS’ AFFINITY GROUP IN CELEBRATING IEEE WIE DAY
Join IEEE Columbus Women in Engineering and Young Professionals Affinity Group in celebrating IEEE WIE Day. Women’s participation is crucial for lessening the ill-effects of climate change. Their role can be pivotal in anticipating disturbances related to the climate and preparing appropriate responses. In keeping with the theme, IEEE WIE Day celebrations aim to empower women to bring about positive changes by providing them a platform to showcase their ideas. Great opportunity for fun networking social with IEEE Columbus WIE and YP section, friends, and walk in nature and have a nice dinner later.
