IEEE Celebrates 125th AnniversaryTo check out local events for this occasion, please refer to the following for more information: http://www.ieee125.org Renew Your Membership for 2009There's still time to renew your 2009 membership if you haven't already done so. Remember, IEEE membership can connect you with professionals who can open doors to many opportunities. Use your IEEE Web Account and password to renew online at http://www.ieee.org/web/membership/renew/index.html Membership Dues in Special Circumstances IEEE realizes that economic circumstances may impact some members' ability to pay the full amount of IEEE membership dues. For this reason, the following special circumstance categories have been established. Special circumstances are not available to Student members. Only one category may be claimed in any year. Ottawa Section hosts distinguished lecture on uncertain systemsJune 15, 2009, 6:30-9:00PM @ Algonquin College, Room T302 The stability and performance analysis of dynamic systems affected by structured uncertainties usually requires the solution ofnon-convex optimization problems. A possible way to tackle such problems is to construct a family of convex relaxations which provide upper or lower bounds to the solution of the original problem. In this talk, convex relaxations for several robustness problems are presented by exploiting classical results and providing new insights on the theory of homogeneous polynomial forms. In particular, a general framework is introduced for dealing with positivity of forms via the solution of linear matrix inequalities, which are a special class of convex problems. Lyapunov analysis of uncertain systems affected by time-invariant or time-varying uncertainty, computation of the parametric robust stability margin, robust performance analysis for polytopic systems, are examples of problems addressed within the proposed framework. This talk is conducted by Dr. Graziano Chesi, IEEE Distinguished Lecturer, from the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, University of Hong Kong. Vancouver Section studies Smart Energy and Smart GridJune 8, 2009, 7-9 PM, @ BCIT SW3-1750 The Smart Grid promises a more reliable and energy efficient means of delivering power. The Zigbee wireless standard will be an integral part of the smart grid for communicating information from the utilities to the end-users. Until recently, Zigbee was primarily used in home automation and sensor networks where its low power and mesh capabilities were an ideal fit. Now with the Zigbee PRO and Smart Energy profile additions, Zigbee has found a new application in Home Area Networks (HANs) for managing energy. This standards oriented approach allows utilities to reduce a home's energy consumption and allows residents to be more aware of the energy they use. With a certification process in place, suppliers can build products that will integrate seamlessly with other products to form the HAN. Many of the 40 million smart meters that will be installed across North America in the next 5 years will have Zigbee radios built-in. The speaker, Chris Tumpach, is VP of Hardware Engineering at Rainforest Automation. Vancouver Section hosts Industrial Tour: Canadian CircuitsFriday May 22, 2009, 3pm, 12-13140 88th Avenue, Surrey, BC From the wire-wrapped circuit boards of WWII era radios, to today's sophisticated iPhones - printed circuit board (PCB) technology has evolved in an unprecedented pace. While consumer electronic products have become indispensable parts of our daily lives, we rarely get an opportunity to experience how a PCB is actually designed and built. Canadian Circuits Inc. has been working in this highly competitive technical industry since 1993. The company provides state-of-the-art PCB fabrication solutions that include:
The tour at Canadian Circuits will allow us experience the full-cycle PCB fabrication process, current state-of-the-art and relevant technical challenges & solutions. TISP (Teacher-In-Service-Program) R7 (Canada) workshopFriday May 15, 2009, 4:30pm, Montreal Marriott Chateau Champlain, run by IEEE EAB and Montreal Section The purpose of this workshop is to help IEEE members improve the teaching of and in pre-university schools (primary schools, middle schools and high schools). In this workshop, IEEE members will learn how to work with teachers of pre-university schools, and how to conduct hands-on sessions for these teachers on engineering topics. The teachers will then use these sessions on a regular basis with their own students. The workshop was a big success, with more than 100 participants from 15 different sections of Canada and other participants from China and Japan to learn and appreciate the objectives of TISP workshop in promoting the IEEE Pre-university programs around the world. Presentations were delivered by Dr. Ferial El-Hawary, Mrs. Christie Brown and Mr. Jan Novac (two top representatives of Quebec's Ministry of Education), and Mrs. Jacinthe Desrochers, teacher of Science & Technology at College Mont-Saint-Louis. A Web-page has been created that contains the agenda, slides presentations, evaluation results, lesson plans, pictures and more .

IEEE student member winner of 2009 CEMF IBM undergraduate scholarshipThe Bahar Memarian from the University of Toronto and Neha Sharma from the University of Western Ontario have been named the 2009 recipients of the $2,500 IBM Canada Undergraduate Scholarships by CEMF. Both Ms. Memarian and Ms. Sharma will also receive a summer job opportunity at an IBM Canada facility. Ms. Memarian of North York, Ontario is a second year electrical engineering student at the University of Toronto. She believes in the positive impact women in engineering can have and says she has learned that "much creativity and diversity is added to a project when the group includes both male and female members." Ms. Sharma of London, Ontario is a third year electrical student at the University of Western Ontario where she is specializing in biomedical signals and systems. Her personal motto is "if you have an interest in something, don't let anything stop you." The Foundation is proud to present both Bahar and Neha with these well-deserved scholarships. Both are outstanding young women who are already demonstrating they will be leaders in the future and are excellent role models for others," says Suzelle Barrington, ing., CEMF president. Along with the $2,500 scholarship, both students are being funded by Foundation to attend the CEMF Annual Awards Luncheon in Montreal during the Annual General Meeting of Engineers Canada being held on May 22, 2009. The Canadian Engineering Memorial Foundation was founded in 1990 and honours the memory of the 14 women from École Polytechnique in Montreal who lost their lives on December 6, 1989. CEMF is committed to creating a world where engineering meets the needs and challenges of Canadians by utilizing the skills and talents of men and women alike, promoting engineering as a career choice with the generous support of Canadian corporations and many individual engineers from coast to coast. The Foundation provides a total of 13 scholarships at the undergraduate, Masters and PhD levels of study and promotes engineering as a career choice for women through their website, press releases, Annual Awards Luncheon and scholarship winner presentations to high school students. Bahar Memarian is an IEEE student member. IEEE Canada 2008 student paper winnersCongratulations to the winners of the IEEE Canada student paper awards 2008.
