IEEE Introduces IEEE Technology News - Looking for EditorsIEEE Xplore currently includes nearly 3 million articles; and 200,000 articles are added annually. How can anyone know what is worth reading among those articles? Well, IEEE Technology News will help. It will bring to IEEE members and the global community the top 1000 of the most interesting, timely, and newsworthy articles. A beta version of IEEE Technology News is available now. It is a web-based publication which is also viewable on mobile devices. It will provide its subscribers with condensed versions of about 20 newly-posted articles each week - with links to the full articles in IEEE Xplore. The condensed versions are in layman's language so that nonspecialists, students, news media reporters, etc. will be able to understand them. IEEE Technology News is advertiser supported. It is free; anyone may subscribe - at www.ieeeTechNews.org. Please subscribe and provide feedback to the volunteers behind this new publication. John Vig, 2009 IEEE President, conceived the idea and took the lead in developing it with the assistance of fellow volunteers Anil Roy (India) and Gus Gaynor (USA). They brought together IEEE Publications, Technical Activities, Spectrum, and other staff and volunteers to brainstorm, develop a proposal and plan for the launch of IEEE Technology News. This effort included receipt of a $25,000 Seed Grant from the IEEE New Initiatives Committee (NIC) in May 2010 followed by a Phase II NIC proposal for full-funding. IEEE surveys show that "remaining technically current" is the number 1 reason for joining IEEE. In today's global economy IEEE Technology News offers a channel for not only keeping abreast of one's own discipline but also for gaining an understanding of other technologies. Content is derived from IEEE's more than 500 conference proceedings and 800 journal issues published annually. To guarantee quality, the articles will go through a four-stage process: the appropriate papers will be selected by volunteer associate editors, the condensed versions will be written by professional technical writers, the condensed versions will be edited by a technical editor, and a final review will be performed by the IEEE Technology News Editor-in-Chief. An Editorial Board of nine people under the leadership of the Editor-in-Chief will be responsible for meeting the goals and guiding operations. Associate editors are needed for selecting the articles to be condensed. If you are a technical expert, preferably an IEEE Fellow, who regularly reads IEEE publications, please apply to be an associate editor, include a brief statement of qualifications, and specify the publication(s) you are willing to cover. The job is easy; i.e., when you read a new article that is especially interesting, important or newsworthy, send a message to TechNews@ieee.org, identify the article, and include a short explanation as to why the article is worthy of inclusion in IEEE Technology News. The Editorial Board looks forward to launching IEEE Technology News in 2011. Beta testing is projected to begin in early 2011. For a preview, please visit, and subscribe at www.ieeeTechNews.org on your computer or mobile device. Comments and applications for associate editor may be sent to TechNews@ieee.org. Renew Your Membership for 2011You can start renewing your membership for 2011. Remember, IEEE membership can connect you with professionals who can open doors to many opportunities. There are also many online resources available to members (e.g. online books and publications). Use your IEEE Web Account and password to renew online at http://www.ieee.org/web/membership/renew/index.html Membership Dues in Special CircumstancesIEEE 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.

Watching your favorite movie on CD/DVD. Surfing the web. Scanning barcodes at the grocery store. Having corrective eyesight vision surgery. For the past 50 years, lasers have revolutionized the way we live. This milestone marks one of the greatest inventions of the 20th century! The term "laser" originated as an acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. A laser which produces light by itself is technically an optical oscillator. In the early technical literature, especially at Bell Telephone Laboratories, the laser was called an optical maser; this term is now obsolete. In 1917, Albert Einstein established the theoretic foundations for the laser and the maser in the paper Zur Quantentheorieder Strahlung (On the Quantum Theory of Radiation).In 1953, Charles Hard Townes and graduate students James P. Gordon and Herbert J. Zeiger produced the first microwave amplifier, a device operating on similar principles to the laser, but amplifying microwave radiation rather than infrared or visible radiation. In 1960, Theodore H. Maiman constructed the first functioning laser, at Hughes Research Laboratories, Malibu, California. Maiman's functional laser used a solid-state flashlamppumped synthetic ruby crystal to produce red laser light, at 694 nanometres wavelength; however, the device only was capable of pulsed operation, because of its three-level pumping design scheme. In 1962, Robert N. Hall demonstrated the first laser diode device, made of gallium arsenide and emitted at 850 nm the near-infrared band of the spectrum. Later, in 1962, Nick Holonyak, Jr. demonstrated the first semiconductor laser with a visible emission. When lasers were invented in 1960, they were called "a solution looking for a problem". Since then, they have become ubiquitous, finding utility in thousands of highly varied applications in every section of modern society, including consumer electronics, information technology, science, medicine, industry, law enforcement, entertainment, and the military. Speakers: Dr. Nissim Pilossof studied physics in Sofia, Bulgaria and Prague, Czech Republic. He earned MSc in 1980 and PhD in Atomic Physics in 1988, both at the University of Sofia. >From 1988 to 1992 he worked as Senior Research Fellow in the University of Sofia. In 1992 he moved to Israel and joined Fabia Engineer as Senior Researcher and General Manager. In September 1997 he joined Scitex Corporation as Scitex Fellow responsible for assessment and development of novel imaging technologies. In Creo-Scitex (later Creo Israel) held the position of Physics Section Head. In 2004 Nissim accepted the position of Principal Engineer at Creo Products (now Kodak Graphic Communications Canada Company) and moved to Vancouver BC. As a Principal Engineer at Kodak Industrial Imaging Solution group he is responsible for development and design of High-power LD-based imaging devices. Nissim Pilossof is a member of the Research Program Committee of Canadian Institute for Photonic Innovations. IEEE Canada forms Ad Hoc Committee on Wireless TechnologyThe IEEE Canada Board of Directors has just voted to form an ad hoc committee to work with universities, companies and regional groups with an interest in wireless commercialization (including but not limited to Vancouver-based Wavefront Wireless Commercialization Centre, Waterloo-based Communitech, and Montreal-based Prompt-Quebec) to:
Promote and facilitate cooperation between academia, government and the wireless industry with a particular focus on commercialization of wireless technologies. Establish the feasibility of assisting start ups and small and medium enterprises by working with universities and colleges to develop a database of research equipment and facilities that are available to assist in the commercialization of wireless technologies. Encourage the wireless industry and government officials to share their knowledge and insights concerning commercialization of wireless technology with IEEE members through IEEE Canada publications and technical activities. The committee will be chaired by Prof. Dave Michelson 2011 IEEE Computer Society Simulator Design CompetitionIEEE Computer Society is presenting the 2011 Simulator Design Competition for students worldwide with a top prize of 8,000 USD and a second place prize of 2,000 USD. Student teams will be invited to design a CPU simulator, a program used in many architecture courses to illustrate how computers work. The competition requires that students have taken a course in architecture and have both programming and software engineering skills. Student teams will submit both a report and a working program at the end of the competition. For more info: http://www.computer.org/portal/web/competition Registration deadline is 18 January 2011. Humanitarian initiatives: Student Design Competition 2010-2011TITLE: Student Design Competition 2010-2011
ABSTRACT: We are proud to welcome Canadian students to the first HIC humanitarian student design competition. The competition is open to undergraduate and master students enrolled in a Canadian college or university. It provides a venue for students to show how design, creativity, and innovation can be used for the betterment of society and for the advancement of humanity; it is a practical experience of the constrains and conditions students will face in industry. An abstract of the winner's work will be published in one of the IEEE publications. Prizes will be awarded as follows: first prize, CND $1000; second prize, CND $700; third prize, CND $300. For this year's competition, we have decided to focus on improving or innovating parts of the WE CARE Solar's system (http://www.wecaresolar.com/). Students interested in participating in a more general humanitarian topic are encouraged to submit a proposal to the IEEE Presidents' Change the World Competition (http://www.ieeechangetheworld.org/). WE CARE Solar promotes a safe motherhood and reduces maternal mortality in developing regions by providing health workers with reliable lighting, mobile communication, and blood bank refrigeration using solar electricity. A link to a 45 minute presentation by Dr. Stachel is available in our website, it describes WE CARE Solar's mission and system. IEEE Canada has established the Humanitarian Initiatives Committee (HIC) to promote IEEE core value of advancing technology for the benefit of humanity; raising awareness of how IEEE Canada can best use its strengths and relevant technologies to address societal problems; providing leadership, encouragement, and support to Sections and Chapters interested in humanitarian initiatives; identifying and inventorying humanitarian activities across Canada; and coordinating activities with IEEE worldwide humanitarian committees and initiatives.

Ottawa Section WIE event: Why mentor? Why be mentored?Submitted by: Andréa Bourdeau, WIE Chair, University of Ottawa,
The uOttawa and CarletonU IEEE Student Branch WIE groups wanted to present attendees with testimonials on in an effort to encourage women in engineering to seek mentors and to offer mentoring in turn. We invited Jennifer Ng Ain Kin (member of IEEE for over 21 years & IEEE volunteer for over 10 years), WonSook Lee (Ph.D., Associate Professor in SITE, the Faculty of Engineering, at uOttawa), and Jieyi Rong (recent graduate of the Electrical Engineering program at Carleton University and former Chair of Carleton University IEEE Student Branch) to give their insights, experiences and perspectives (both formal and informal) on mentoring. Prof Lee gave a presentation on the way which mentors aid in the mental growth of their protégés. Prof Lee addressed the importance of having defined goals and a timeline before asking someone to become a mentor and beginning that type of relationship; as this typically helps to ensure a successful mentorship experience. Lastly, Prof. Lee emphasized that one who offers mentorship typically benefits as much from the experience as a protégé. Ms. Ng Ain Kin has been involved with mentoring within the IEEE network. Interestingly, Ms. Ng's style of mentorship doesn't necessarily call for face-to-face interaction. Despite almost no real-time interactions, Ms. Ng's experiences with mentorship have been positive. Ms. Ng voiced that for most protégés, it's enough that their mentors offer sincere advice rather than parrot what some would perceive to be the "best" (mainstream) advice. Ms. Jieyi Rong, as new graduate, highly recommends finding a mentor with similar interests and learning from them. Ms. Rong argued that students are in a particularly good position to take chances and learn from other professionals' experiences. Therefore, she strongly encourages engineering students to try internship programs.. Indeed, this event on mentorship was made successful thanks to the intriguing and thought provoking testimonials that were offered and that left our attendees with three new perspectives on Why Mentor? Why Be Mentored? We would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank WIE R7 for their support that has helped to make this event a success.
