  • Augmenting Software Engineering with AI

    Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/561215

    Augmenting Software Engineering with AI Presented by Harish Vundavalli, Senior Technical Architect, Strategic Education, Inc. Abstract: Today, AI is no longer a specialized skill; it’s becoming a baseline expectation across roles. For students graduating and entering the job market, the key challenge is not just learning AI, but showing how they can apply it in real-world scenarios. From an industry perspective, hiring managers are not looking for “AI knowledge” in isolation; they are looking for candidates who can connect AI to business problems and practical use cases. One of the most important steps is how you present AI on your resume. Instead of listing courses or tools, focus on: - What problem you solved - How you used AI to solve it - What impact it created For example, saying "built a chatbot using GPT” is less effective than “developed a chatbot that reduced support response time by 30% using AI APIs.” The difference is application and outcome. Software Professionals should also learn how to map AI concepts to real job scenarios. In the real world, AI is rarely standalone—it is part of a system, a workflow, or a decision-making process. Agenda: June 25th, 2026 (times are CST -- for Minnesota) 6:30 PM: Check-in. Socialize. 7:00 PM: Presentation -- Augmenting Software Engineering with AI -- Harish Vundavalli 7:45 PM: Q&A and general discussion. 8:15 PM: Conclusion.

  • The Life and Death of Alan Turing

    Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/562761

    Alan Turing OBE FRS (23 June 1912 – 7 June 1954) was an English mathematician, computer scientist, logician, cryptanalyst, philosopher, and theoretical biologist. Turing was highly influential in the development of theoretical computer science, providing a formalization of the concepts of algorithm and computation with the Turing machine, which can be considered a model of a general-purpose computer. He is widely considered to be the father of theoretical computer science and artificial intelligence. Despite this Turing remains largely unknown to the general mainstream population. AFTER the movie - we can have a brief discussion session. NOTE: You must supply your own soda pop and popcorn! :-) Trivia may also follow, so bring your Jeopardy hats too Co-sponsored by: Subramaniam Ganesan Agenda: 7:00 PM - Welcome and Introductions, Chapter business update; (on your own) Pizza, Popcorn and Soda Pop 7:05 PM - Documentary Start 8:00 PM - End of Documentary; Start of Q & A; Group Discussion 8:15 PM - Wrap Up Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/562761

  • Improving the thermal performance of wearables and medical devices by the application of Phase Change Material (PCM)

    Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/562006

    In its Precision Sensing Lecture Series, International Institute for Biosensing (IIB) in collaboration with TwinCities IEEE Sensor Council Chapter is proud to host Barbara Pause. She is the owner and managing director of Textile Testing & Innovation LLC. The company's operations are focussed on specialized testing of the thermal and moisture management of textiles and composites as well as product development utilizing cutting-edge technologies, such as the Phase Change Material (PCM) Technology. My experience as a researcher covers the fields of heat and moisture transfer through textiles and other materials, the Phase Change Material (PCM) Technology, the Shape Memory Material (SMM) Technology, as well as applications of both technologies in various end-use products. She has presented the results of my research at numerous international conferences, published a multitude of papers and contributed to several technical text books, including "Guidelines for the Design of Products Equipped with Phase Change Material. She has more than 20 issued patents. In this lecture a phase change material (PCM) absorbs, stores, and releases a large amount of so- called “latent heat” in a material specific temperature range while its temperature remains nearly constant. PCMs can be used in wearables and medical devices to maintain a stable temperature, cool them down, or supply heat as needed, depending on their thermal needs. In the webinar, common PCMs will be introduced, the thermal effects will be explained, and applications in medical devices will be discussed.
