Facts about the IEEE and the Hawaii Section

Did you Know?

Unemployed IEEE members can request a free copy of the IEEE-USA e-Book "The Best of Today's Engineer: On Career Survival" by contacting Helen Hall ath.hall@ieee.org. Further, our newsletter sometimes advertises local engineering openings. Most importantly, there is an IEEE Job Site with Resume/CV Building Tools.

• As a registered Job Seeker on the IEEE Job Site, you have the ability to build a resume or CV by following step-by-step instructions or simply upload an existing one into your IEEE Job Site account.
• This enables you to easily apply to jobs posted on the IEEE Job Site and to benefit from keyword matching – employers finding you based on key word searches off your resume.
• Simply log into your IEEE Job Seeker Account and select the Resume tab. 

Did you Know?

The Hawaii Section is spread over several islands and has over 700 members.

Did you Know?

The IEEE is a resource for networking. The Hawaii Section has four local Society Chapters, i.e., MTT, Computer, Communications/SP and Oceanic Engineering, and two student branches, i.e., UH-Manoa and UH-Maui. We have many groups in the LinkedIn profession network.

We discussed the following upcoming Events:  (a) July 10 - Computer Society Tech Talk: "Advanced Analytics"  https://meetings.vtools.ieee.org/meeting_view/list_meeting/19173  (b) August 14 - "Turbo Talks" Hawaii Section and Computer Society  https://meetings.vtools.ieee.org/meeting_view/list_meeting/19171  (c) The section chair will attend IEEE annual meeting from 1-4 Aug  2. "Job posting" => Job postings can be included in the newsletter.  Everyone agreed it is good idea to be to have job listings.  3. "Conduct Senior member elevation event in 2-3 months" =>  Suggested by Kishore Erukulapati and Chris Russel. It was decided  to have Chris and Kishore organize this meeting. This will also be  advertised in section newsletter.  4. "Underwater ROV Tour suggested in last meeting" =>  Awaiting updates from Mark Rognstad  5. Section sponsored Young Professional (GOLD) STEP event was  suggested at the last webcast, since we don't have a GOLD  affinity group. Kenny Luong will help organize the STEP event  for the Section. The Section will apply for $500 to put on this event.  6. IEEE Election & Future leadership development within our  Section => All IEEE Hawaii members interested in leadership  positions in our section (Chair, Vice Chair, Secretary,  and Treasurer) & in our Comm./SPS chapter (Chair, Vice  Chair, and Secretary) are encouraged to submit nominations.  It is important to develop new leadership due to term limits  on the members that are currently in leadership roles in our  section. No nominations submitted for section vice chair,  section treasurer, Comm./SPS chapter vice chair, Comm./SPS  chapter secretary. We will use Vtools as the teller. We  will allow write-in votes (approved by section in 2012). We  may need to explore the possibility of combining the secretary  and treasurer positions. 7. John Borland volunteered to find a meeting location for the  EXCOM Meeting in September.

Topic: Advanced Analytics – The next frontier for innovation and STEM jobs

The amount of information available via the Internet and social media is exploding and this trend is expected to continue. According to IBM, structured data constitutes only 20% of the overall data produced. Remaining 80% of the data is unstructured or semi structured. According to a report published by McKinsey Global Institute, there will be a shortage of talent necessary for organizations to take advantage of this data. McKinsey Global Institute predicts that by 2018, the United States alone could face a shortage of 140,000 to 190,000 workers and 1.5 million managers and analysts that need analytics expertise. This presentation will cover 1. Why is advanced analytics the hottest STEM topic? 2. What is the current status of advanced analytics? 3. What are the future perspectives of advanced analytics?
