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. Philadelphia, PA (University of Pennsylvania) - Session 1: July 9, 2023 - July 18, 2023 - sold out - Session 2: July 21, 2023 - July 30, 2023 Houston, Texas (Rice University) - Session 1: June 30, 2023 - July 9, 2023 - Session 2: July 12, 2023 - July 21, 2023 San Diego, California (University of San Diego) - Session 1: June 30, 2023 - July 9, 2023 - Session 2: July 12, 2023 - July 21, 2023 Co-sponsored by: IEEE Educational Activities - TryEngineering Summer Institutes San Diego, California, United States, 92110
CIT Summer Series – David A. Fisher – Why Software Fails and Why AI cannot Help
This is a weekly session of the CIT Summer Series, with David A Fisher presenting Why Software Fails and Why AI cannot Help : It was once widely believed that computers would enhance the speed, reliability, and applicability of human deductive reasoning in the physical and social sciences, much as motorized vehicles (e.g., cars, trains, airplanes) have enhanced the speed, reliability, and applicability of human manual abilities in transportation. Yet, 60 years later, computers can be used confidently only for paperwork tasks, analysis of regularly structured data, and simple process control applications. Complex software rarely satisfies user needs, is untrustworthy and difficult to maintain, and largely opaque to its users. Artificial intelligence (AI) methods including heuristics, machine learning, and statistical methods are in opposition to sound deductive reasoning. This presentation explains certain practical and logical impediments to computer enhancement of human deductive reasoning, the deductive limitations of modern programming languages, the role of AI, and provides some promising alternatives.

Challenges with Communication in a Post Nuclear Environment
Challenges with Communication in a Post Nuclear Environment
As potential nuclear weapon use has become top of mind to many through the specter of Russian aggression in Ukraine and threats from North Korea and China, it is important to assess the potential impacts of nuclear weapons on our communication and control infrastructure. In this talk Dr. Petrosky will describe various ways in which nuclear weapon detonations can affect communication systems. He proposes ideas needed to sustain communications systems following nuclear weapons use.
