OUTREACH VISIT TO ST. JOSEPH’S HIGH SCHOOL, BIDAD to train students and staff on AI for education
OUTREACH VISIT TO ST. JOSEPH’S HIGH SCHOOL, BIDAD to train students and staff on AI for education 150 150 ieeeeduweek

On 30th November 2024, the IEEE Computer Society and the Outreach Club of the
Department organized an impactful educational outreach event at St. Joseph’s High School in
Bidar. The visit aimed at empowering young minds by exposing them to emerging
technologies and fostering leadership skills. The training session, held at the school, was
specifically designed to introduce high school students to the world of Artificial Intelligence
(AI). The students were educated about AI classrooms and how the technology is shaping the
future. In addition to AI, the session also covered essential leadership qualities, emphasizing
the importance of developing communication skills, team collaboration, and problem-solving
abilities.
A total of 20 students, along with three faculty members, participated in this initiative. The
event was an enriching experience, providing students with valuable insights into the fields of
AI and leadership, thereby motivating them to pursue careers in technology and innovation.
This initiative not only encouraged academic growth but also aimed at inspiring the next
generation of leaders in the tech industry.
This outreach event stands as a testament to the commitment of the IEEE Computer Society
and the Outreach Club in nurturing the future of technology and leadership through handson, inspiring training

Workshop Title: Making the most of your Education: A look at DeVry Student Sam Droddy’s career journey. Presentation includes projects demos including building a Calculator.

 

Presenter: DeVry Student Sam Droddy. Data Analyst.

 

Date: Friday Feb 16, 2024

Time:  1 pm. PST

Duration: 55 minutes

Topic:

Education is an integral part of building a career.  There are many different avenues one can pursue when it comes to education. According to the Census Bureau, less than half of the adults over the age of 25 in America have a college degree (Census Bureau, 2023). This would mean that most will either build a career with non-traditional education resources or settle with lower paid jobs.

 

A successful career in Technology highly depends on a decent level of education. Says Sam.

 

Computer machineries have improved twice as capable each year since the 1960’s (“Moore’s Law,” 1965).  This would mean that in the 21st century humans will experience the equivalent of 20,000 years of technological progress!

 

This presentation will demonstrate a few ways Sam has expanded on his education and continuously contributes to his work. The presentation will also demonstrate means by which he has applied the education to real life problems at work.

 

Please join us for this informal workshop and peek into how a fellow student is applying their education in the real world!

 

Presenter Bio:

Sam Droddy is pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Software Development with a Specialization in Big Data and Analytics. Sam has worked in the steel industry since 2012 where he was hired as a shop floor employee. He worked as an operator on several machines until he took advantage of his company’s education reimbursement program.  He began school on the path to become an Electrical Engineer, but after securing a position in production analytics, he changed his degree. He now works in the raw material department where he refines processes to increase overall yield.  He also develops new tools for planning and analytics in his department. Notably, he developed a calculator utilizing Java and Microsoft Excel that calculates the most efficient way to slit steel coils given the necessary parameters. This tool is estimated to save his company approximately $500,000 each year in yield loss!

Focusing on Soft Skills Development – Liberal Arts Approaches for Teaching in the Field of ICT
Focusing on Soft Skills Development – Liberal Arts Approaches for Teaching in the Field of ICT 646 382 ieeeeduweek

Soft skills are meanwhile represented in almost all engineering curricula. Yet, the integration is often artificial even though these skills are particularly helpful already in the early stages of the studies. In this webinar, we will discuss combining concepts from art to teach complex engineering problems, already at undergraduate levels. This helps to activate soft skills such as creativity, communication, critical thinking, and teamwork to better understand complex concepts in ICT. Based on first experiences from courses taught at universities, we will discuss best practices of integrating soft skills with hard engineering facts – using art as an integrative concept. We see this as a first step towards widespread use of such a new teaching methodology for engineering-focused study programs in the EU and beyond.
