Our IEEE Day Meeting

IEEE Day 2012 will be celebrated on October 2, 2012.  It is the third time in history when all engineers worldwide are going to celebrate the IEEE Day.  It is on the anniversary of the first time IEEE members gathered to share their technical ideas in 1884.  While the world benefits from what’s new, IEEE is focused on what’s next. Thus, this year the theme of the IEEE Day will be “Engineering the Future and Beyond”.
 
We usually hold a dinner meeting the first Monday of each month. That makes our next meeting on Monday, October 1, 2012. Our dinner meeting will be at the usual place and time, 5:30PM at Zippy's, 59 North Vineyard Boulevard Honolulu, HI 96817. Map: http://zippys.com/live/locations/vineyard/. This meeting will include a short EXCOM meeting followed by a Communication Chapter technical talk entitled "What's New in Communications?" presented by Eran Agmon. It will hail the start of IEEE Day this year.
 
In order to create a deeper cohesion among the members, IEEE Day website will be running the following networking events:
  • Photo wall of the year: every member will be invited to share a picture showing himself/herself in real action (at laboratory, desk, classroom, with an oscilloscope, posing next to a wind turbine and a transformer, …) or in an IEEE event.
  • Let’s wear IEEE Day T-shirt: members can find the link on the IEEE Day website where they can order their t-shirts. (They can also download and print the logo locally)
  • Upload your IEEE Facebook profile picture: Taken during the IEEE Day. You can find more information in this page.
