Machine Learning: Predictive Analysis for Business Decisions
This course provides an overview of machine learning in the age of big data, cloud computing, and our data-saturated society. Business leaders will learn of the various types of machine learning, and how they can be used with a variety of enterprise data holdings and publicly available data to develop deeper insights in the business environment; understand basic computational intelligence paradigms, and how machine learning is integral to the field; learn the technical vocabulary and high-level concepts of machine learning in a manner that demystifies the topic and enables them to ask the right questions on the deployment of machine learning into business operations. Speaker: Grant Scott, Assistant Professor in the Center for Geospatial Intelligence (CGI) and the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department, University of Missouri Co-sponsored by: Continuing Education Committee of the Educational Activities Board of the IEEE Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/365740

How to accelerate innovation and entrepreneurship in engineering and the sciences
We live in a time of rapid technological transformation driven by emerging scientific discoveries and engineering capabilities. Society faces numerous challenges for which we seek solutions in innovation. To meet this need we must expand the pipeline of innovation and innovators and enable the rapid movement of emerging technologies from the idea stage to realized products and solutions for society. In this engaging and informative talk Phil Weilerstein, the Founding CEO of VentureWell will discuss approaches that work in activating nascent innovators, supporting idea stage innovations and catalyzing the next generation of critical solutions in areas such as clean energy, sustainable materials and equitable healthcare technologies. Based on three decades of work supporting innovation ecosystems and working with science and technology funders this talk will explore effective ways to rapidly advance emerging innovations and a diverse and robust pipeline of emerging innovators and entrepreneurs Co-sponsored by: Peter Silverberg Speaker(s): Phil Weilerstein, Agenda: 7 pm: lecture Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/375748
Defense Microelectronics Industrial Base
Semiconductor microelectronic chips are critical components in defense C4ISR and weapon systems. Department of Defense (DoD) needs to have an assured supply of advanced microcroelectronic chips, in peacetime and wartime. Since DoD itself normally does not make the chips, DoD depends on the semiconductor industry to produce the needed chips. DoD uses a variety of chips, many are commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) and some are classified and defense-unique chips. The semiconductor industry, although originally created by DoD, for several decades has gradually moved off-shore, including fabrication, testing, and packaging. The U.S. market share of global semiconductor manufacturing capacity has fallen from about 38% in 1990 to 12% in 2020. TSMC in Taiwan is the world’s largest semiconductor chip manufacturer, supplying 92% of worlds sub-nanometer advanced chips. To bring semiconductor manufacturing back to the U.S., Congress passed the CHIPS and Science Act to reshore semiconductor manufacturing to the U.S. The CHIPS Act authorizes more than $200B, and immediately appropriates $53.7B, in federal funding to promote domestic semiconductor manufacturing production, DoD allocated $2B as a part of the CHIPS Act. DoD's Microelectronics Commons initiative selected eight regional innovations hubs that include a large number of members in the industrial base. The objective of these hubs, called “lab to fab”, is to speed up the transition of microelectronics from research to prototyping to production, and is focused on strengthening the defense microelectronics industrial base.
