Arduinos, 3D printing, networking with professionals, Lego Mindstorms, Lego displays, FREE LUNCH … what more can you ask for? The IEEE Ottawa Robotics Competition (ORC) is Ottawa’s largest non-profit robotics competition that attracts 700+ attendees annually.
To enrich your volunteering portfolio, to network with industry professionals, to apply for future leadership positions within our organization, and to inspire the next generation of STEM leaders, sign up NOW as a volunteer at http://orc.ieeeottawa.ca/volunteering. Mark your calendars for this year’s competition, Saturday, May 27th! All you need to be a great volunteer is enthusiasm and a contagious smile. Absolutely no programming/robotics knowledge required.
Check out last year’s competition at http://bit.ly/ORC2016OTTCITIZEN. Students design and build robots to compete in a day filled with exciting Lego Mindstorms and Arduino challenges. One of our most popular challenges, Sumo wrestling involves a UFC-style fight between two robots! For more information on the ORC, please visit http://orc.ieeeottawa.ca or email us at orcinfo@ieeeottawa.ca.
Thank you for your time.

May 24-26, 2017, the Canadian Printable Electronics Industry Association (CPEIA) will be bringing together the printable, flexible and wearable electronics industry for its annual symposium at Centennial College, Toronto.
Using the coupon code cpeia-partner2017b IEEE members can register for CPES at 15 per cent off the regular non-CPEIA member rate of $795 + HST.
Come to learn, network and develop partnerships for collaboration and business development. You can learn more at www.CPES2017.ca
With 30+ speakers and over 200 participants from 120 organizations in attendance, CPES2017 is Canada’s premier meeting ground for technology developers, industrial companies and end-users to discuss how they can work together to manufacture and commercialize new products and applications. Academic researchers can showcase their research and discover how they can link it to market needs and opportunities. Day 1 of the program features Key Applications, while Day 2 is dedicated to Manufacturing. The optional Day 3 offers master classes, a financing session and mentoring.
(This offer cannot be combined with the the student rate. It only applies to Day 1 and Day 2 of the conference. To attend Day 3 sessions, you must pay the regular fee for those activities.)

Telecommunication Engineering as Distinct Education Discipline Reflections on the TEE Movement and Project ISTEE by Dr. Tarek S. El-Bawab, Professor, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Jackson State University, USA
DATE: Wednesday April 12, 2017
TIME: Refreshments, Registration and Networking: 06:00 p.m.; Seminar: 06:30 p.m. – 07:30 p.m.
PLACE: Ciena-Optophotonics Lab (Room T129), T-Building, School of Advanced Technology,
Algonquin College, 1385 Woodroffe Ave., Ottawa, ON Canada K2G 1V8
PARKING: No fee after 5:00 p.m. at the Visitors’ Parking Lots 8 & 9. Please respect restricted areas.
Admission: Free Registration. To ensure a seat, please register by e-mail contacting: almuhtadi@ieee.org
In this talk, we discuss recent efforts which led to recognition of telecommunication engineering (TE) as a distinct education discipline in the US and other countries. These efforts have concluded by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, Inc., (ABET) approval of its new Criteria for Electrical, Computer, Communications, Telecommunication(s) and Similarly Named Engineering Programs. We reflect on the history of the Telecommunication Engineering Education (TEE) initiative and movement (2008-2014) which resulted in this development. We discuss the impact of progress in Network Science and Engineering and the evolution of the Internet on modern Telecommunications, and examine these developments in light of other developments in the arena of engineering education. The talk will look into the work that needs to be done to capitalize on these events and developments in several areas/directions; and the roles of numerous stakeholders thereto. For example, Telecom is an area of high standardization activity and the new discipline requires curricular components, syllabi, course(s) and innovative instruction methods to fill a knowledge gap in this particular area. We discuss ongoing efforts that are proceeding forward in this regards through a project ISTEE (Integrating Standards into Telecommunication Engineering Education).
