Lecture Series

The Boston Section has been putting on Spring and Fall semesters of short courses for many years. This lecture series has been very successful providing a very valuable resource to our members. In recent years the attendance at these courses has been dwindling and many have to cancelled.

We have tried changing the format, content and price of the courses but nothing seems to work. The demand for these course just doesn't seem to be there any more.

Any thoughts and suggestions on this topic would be welcome.

    I enjoy being part of IEEE lecture series committee. It is a good place to share ideas and to learn from one another.

    I would like to hear what people think about future courses/lectures IEEE should offer. Everybody is concerned about the planet, and "green" engineering has been one of many new buzz words. Should be jump on the same band-wagon?
    Would it be something that we may want to pursue?

    Some ideas that come to my mind are not at the core of electrical engineering (like signal integrity, EMC/EMI, radars, circuits, embedded, robotics). For example, a course on low-power and high-efficiency electronic system design. Or, for example, course on harvesting alternative power sources like sun, wind, human motion, or something more exotic like applications of electrical engineering in
    green engineering (desalination, pollution detection and reduction).

    I do not have any lecturers that I could invite, but maybe others do...

    Best regards,

  3. Howdy! I understand this is sort of off-topic but I had to ask.
    Does operating a well-established blog such as yours take a
    massive amount work? I'm brand new to writing a blog however
    I do write in my journal everyday. I'd like to start a blog so I can easily share my
    experience and thoughts online. Please let me know if you have any suggestions or
    tips for brand new aspiring bloggers. Appreciate it!

  6. Yes, Mercedes used to make stylish machines that warmed the hearts of petrol heads.
    On Saturday, Nguyen had tweeted out all sorts of mysterious messages with one alerting he'd be removing the free app
    game from online stores as of Sunday. Forbes discusses the clandestine interview with the man behind the game, who
    agreed to the meeting under circumstances that would make one think he was an enemy of the state.
