We are meeting on-site at the Alliant Energy Community Solar Facility. This facility became fully operational in February 2024. https://www.alliantenergy.com/alliantenergynews/newscenter/021324-cedarrapidssolaroperational The Alliant Energy Community Solar garden is now generating renewable energy for the more than 300 Alliant Energy customers who subscribed to the utility’s first community solar garden in Iowa. The 4.5-megawatt garden is Alliant Energy’s largest operational solar project to date in Iowa. Safety: Please note that both the ESS and Community Solar sites are active. We will not have access inside the fenced areas. Alliant Energy asks that participants dress for the weather and the rugged conditions. The assembly area is gravel, and the site is surrounded by unmanaged prairie. We ask that you wear close-toed shoes. Hard hats are not required. Site Access: The navigation address is 1435 Wilson Avenue, Cedar Rapids. - Turn south off Wilson Ave onto the access road between the railroad tracks. (see photo below) - Bear right at the Y and follow for approximately 200 yards. - The Deer Run BESS is located just south of the Alliant distribution substation. - Parking and assembly will be near the fenced Energy Storage System.

2024 IEEE Day Special IEEE-USA Livestream: An Illuminating Dialogue With Nobel Laureate & Visionary, Dr. Robert W. Wilson

Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/436751

In this insightful presentation, IEEE Region 1 Director Bala Prasanna and IEEE Senior Member Dr. Katherine (Kit) August engage in a meaningful dialogue with one of the most esteemed figures of our time, Nobel Laureate Dr. Robert W. Wilson. At 87, Dr. Wilson remains an active and influential contributor to both technical fields and broader aspects of life. His groundbreaking discovery of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) 60 years ago continues to be a cornerstone of modern cosmology. In this candid and informal recording, Dr. Wilson, known for his soft-spoken, focused, and passionate demeanor, shares profound insights on a variety of topics. He reflects on the rapid changes occurring in the world and emphasizes the crucial responsibilities of leading research institutions. He advocates for supporting discoveries and inventions that may not provide immediate financial returns but are essential for long-term scientific progress. Dr. Wilson also addresses how today’s younger generations can harness the vast amount of information available to them, leveraging it to drive innovation and knowledge. He highlights the invaluable role of IEEE’s extensive library of technical journals, which serve as a vital resource for researchers and engineers worldwide. This presentation offers a rare glimpse into the mind of a scientific legend, providing valuable lessons on the importance of curiosity, perseverance, and the pursuit of knowledge. It is a testament to how dedicated individuals and institutions can shape a better tomorrow. #IEEEDay #IEEEDay2024 #cosmology #nobelprize Tune in to the livestream on IEEE-USA's YouTube channel on 1 October 2024 at 7PM ET: https://bit.ly/ieeeusa-ieee-day-2024 [] Speaker(s): Dr. Kit August, Bala Prasanna, Dr. Robert W.

Navigating AI

Room: 1625, 1600 Golf Rd, 1600 Golf Road, Des Plaines, Illinois, United States, 60016, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/435657

Thinks have really changed in the 140 years since the leading minds in electronics met to share ideas at what was to become the inaugural meeting of the predecessor of IEEE. What a different world the Edisons and Teslas and Westinghouses and other engineers of that day would find in the technology of the Twenty-First Century. One of the areas where technology is rapidly outpacing our ability to absorb new material, and control or legislate it is Artificial Intelligence. Join us in Celebrating 140 years of IEEE AND the fifteen anniversary of IEEE Day with a look into Artificial Intelligence: Where we were, where we are now, and where we may be going. Refreshments will be served as we celebrate IEEE's Birthday. Co-sponsored by: Oakton College Agenda: 06:00 Social time and refreshments 06:30 Welcome and introductions 06:40 Getting acquainted with IEEE Day 07:00 Navigating Artificial Intelligence 07:50 Questions 08:00 Adjourn 1PDH will be available for tonight's presentation Room: 1625, 1600 Golf Rd, 1600 Golf Road, Des Plaines, Illinois, United States, 60016, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/435657

Careers in Technology Fall Series 2024 – Paul Berger, PhD 01 October 8pm EST / 7 pm CST

Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/434305

[] On this celebratory IEEE Day, let us rejoice in the combined IEEE worldwide activities of 39 technical societies and 7 interdisciplinary councils on one side of the IEEE coin, balanced with local sections and student chapters, bringing a physical presence of IEEE to local communities. By the way, one could argue that IEEE also has a 3rd leg into humanitarian activities. These S/C span a great swathe from hardware to software, including electronic devices, solar/wind energy production, power transmission, control theory, image compression, signal processing, and computer architecture. One could say this moves from applied physics to applied math. However, this session drills down to predominantly 1 of these societies, the electron device society, where the field of semiconductor materials and devices thrives. So, with the USA's Chips and Science Act to onshore semiconductor chip manufacturing, what does this mean to you and your communities. First, the Chips portion supports semiconductor companies to build or expand domestic chip production. The Science portion aims to perform workforce development to populate those factories. Where will this new workforce come from and what do you need to do to prepare for your future? This talk aims to take a critical look at the opportunities before you in the semiconductor industry. With time permitting and audience interest, some discussion in humanitarian roles IEEE plays will also be discussed. Speaker(s): Paul Berger, PhD Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/434305
