IEEE Educational Events

El pasado 26 de Julio del 2024, un grupo de estudiantes de la universidad participó como jueces en la Feria de Ciencias organizada por el Colegio La Estancia. La actividad dio inicio a las 11:00 a.m., cuando los estudiantes partieron desde la universidad hacia el lugar del evento. Durante la jornada, se evaluaron diversos proyectos científicos presentados por alumnos de diferentes grados, aplicando criterios previamente establecidos para valorar la creatividad, el rigor científico, la innovación y la presentación de cada propuesta. La experiencia permitió un enriquecedor intercambio de ideas entre los estudiantes del colegio y los jueces invitados, quienes ofrecieron retroalimentación constructiva. El evento concluyó a las 3:00 p.m., dejando un impacto positivo en todos los participantes.

An online training session on IEEE Xplore was organized jointly by the School of Engineering & IT and the Central Library, featuring EBSCO as the service provider. The session, conducted by EBSCO training manager Mr. Raj Mahapatra, aimed to familiarize participants with the functionalities and benefits of the IEEE Xplore platform.

En IEEE CAS UPC queremos expresar nuestro más sincero agradecimiento a la empresa JKSOLTEC por su valiosa colaboración y compromiso con el desarrollo académico de nuestros estudiantes. 🙌✨ Fue un honor contar con la participación de Jhonatan Alexander Juño García, Ingeniero de Proyectos en JKSOLTEC, quien impartió un taller de gran calidad sobre LORA con el PIC18F57Q43. 📡💻

Gracias a su experiencia y conocimiento en esta tecnología, nuestros miembros pudieron ampliar sus competencias y explorar nuevas aplicaciones en el campo de la comunicación inalámbrica y los sistemas embebidos. 🚀📈 Apreciamos el tiempo y la dedicación de Jhonatan y de JKSOLTEC para compartir conocimientos que contribuyen al crecimiento de futuros ingenieros y profesionales. 💡👩‍🔧👨‍🔧

¡Esperamos con entusiasmo futuras colaboraciones! 🤝🌟

Summary:

As part of our Tech Pioneers Series, the IEEE Computer Society at GJU published a post highlighting the contributions of Richard Feynman to the field of Quantum Computing. This initiative aims to educate and inspire our community by exploring the history of computing and the visionaries who shaped its evolution.

Content Overview:

The post covered Feynman’s pioneering insights, including:

🔹 His 1981 concept that classical computers cannot efficiently simulate quantum systems, laying the foundation for quantum computing.
🔹 His role in quantum mechanics, introducing fundamental concepts such as qubits, superposition, and entanglement.
🔹 The long-term impact of his ideas on modern quantum technology research.

Impact:

The post generated engagement among students and professionals, sparking discussions on how Feynman’s ideas continue to shape the future of computing. This contribution to the Tech Pioneers Series reinforces the society’s commitment to sharing knowledge on computing history and technological evolution.

Future Goals:

The IEEE Computer Society at GJU plans to continue the Tech Pioneers Series, covering more influential figures in computing and technology to inspire the next generation of innovators.

We’ll introduce our leadership team, discuss upcoming events, projects, and initiatives, and provide details on how you can get involved. 

IEEE Magnetics Society Summer School

The IEEE Magnetics Society Summer School is held annually during (northern hemisphere) summer holidays. The school is designed for graduate students studying magnetism and related areas. It consists of lectures by international experts and includes poster presentations by participating graduate students. The program covers fundamentals and advanced topics in magnetism. The School provides support to students based on a competitive application. Awardees are provided with free room and board and are reimbursed for most of the cost of transportation to/from the school. Students from all parts of the world are accepted. It is expected they become members of the IEEE Magnetics Society at the time of the School. For this year, the Summer School will take place in Taipei, Taiwan.

Climate Change

One of the most important and urgent issues affecting our world right now is climate change. It refers to the long-term alterations in Earth’s climate, such as variations in temperature, precipitation, and weather patterns, that have been noticed during the previous century and are mostly brought on by human activity.

By acting now, we can lessen the worst effects of climate change and build a future that is more resilient, sustainable, and fair for both present and future generations.

About The Game

This game aims to educate players about the importance of climate change and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that guide global efforts towards a sustainable future. Players will learn about the targets and indicators in SDGs 7, 12, and 13, which are particularly relevant to addressing climate change.  They will also understand how collaboration can support the achievement of other SDGs. 

Through the game, players will learn how to develop strategies for achieving SDGs 7, 12, 13 and 17.
