She is presently the Executive Director of Ryerson University’s Privacy and Big Data Institute. Dr. Cavoukian served an unprecedented three terms as the Information & Privacy Commissioner of Ontario\, Canada. There she created Privacy by Design\, a framework that seeks to proactively embed privacy into design\, thereby achieving the strongest protection possible. In 2010\, International Privacy Regulators unanimously passed a Resolution recognizing Privacy by Design as an international standard. Since then\, PbD has been translated into 39 languages. \nDr. Cavoukian has received numerous awards recognizing her leadership in privacy\, most recently as of the Top 100 Leaders in Identity (January\, 2017).

SUMMARY:Emerging Trends in Software\, Computing\, & Application Development
DESCRIPTION:Monday March 13\, 2017 at 12:00 p.m. Dr. Ilia Nika\, Software Engineering Technology Professor and Coordinator of Software Programs at ICET Department of Centennial College\, will be presenting “Emerging Trends in Software\, Computing\, & Application Development”. \nDay & Time: Monday\, March 13th\, 2017\n12:00 p.m. – 1:00 p.m. \nSpeaker: Dr. Ilia Nika\nSoftware Engineering Technology Professor and Coordinator of Software Programs\nICET Department\, Centennial College \nLocation: Room TRS2164 (8th Floor of the Building)\n575 Bay Street (Entrance at 55 Dundas Street West)\, Ryerson University \nContact: Dr. Maryam Davoudpour \nOrganizers: WIE\, Measurement/Instrumentation-Robotics\, Magnetics\, Computer Science Department of Ryerson University \nAbstract: Software is taking the planet by storm. Whether is engineering\, manufacturing\, medicine\, business\, arts\, or education\, the use of software is changing the way we live and is helping to improve people’s lives. \nIn this talk we will present several emerging trends in software\, computing\, and application development\, as well as show some of the recent applications in various areas. Most importantly\, we will relate the recent changes to ongoing curriculum updates to computing program across the education system. \nBiography: Ilia has a Ph.D. in Applied mathematics\, and more than 30 years of experience in mathematical modeling\, software development\, teaching\, applied research\, and curriculum development. \nHis main areas of expertise include mathematical modeling\, Java and .NET programming\, and mobile application development. Ilia has developed several automated systems for signal processing of geophysical data including the solution of inverse resistivity problem in resistivity logging. He is very interested in applications of machine learning in both engineering and education and has developed an application for predicting student retention in community colleges using institutional data and ensemble learning. Ilia has developed and taught courses in Software Systems Design and Computer Communications & Networking degree programs\, as well as courses in Software Engineering Technology programs. Ilia has been principal investigator and/or co-investigator in several ARIC projects. He is also an Information Technology Management and Continuing Education part-time instructor\, at Ryerson University (2007 – Present). Currently he is teaching Emerging Technologies course for Software Engineering Technology students\, Centennial College.

SUMMARY:Engineering Skills Gaps: “Jobs without people” and “people without jobs”
DESCRIPTION:Friday March 31\, 2017 at 2:30 p.m. Dr. Farzad Rayegani\, Associate Dean\, School of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering Technology\, will be presenting “Engineering Skills Gaps: ‘Jobs without people’ and ‘people without jobs’”. \nDay & Time: Friday\, March 31st\, 2017\n2:30 p.m. – 3:30 p.m. \nSpeaker: Farzad Rayegani\, Ph.D.\, P.Eng.\, FEC.\nAssociate Dean\, School of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering Technology \nLocation: Room ENG 288\nGeorge Vari Centre for Computing and Engineering\, Ryerson University\n245 Church Street\, Toronto\, Ontario M5B 2K3 \nContact: Dr. Maryam Davoudpour \nOrganizers: IEEE Toronto WIE\, Magnetics\, Measurement/Instrumentation-Robotics and Computer Science Department of Ryerson University \nBiography: Farzad Rayegani is credited with developing an applied research program involving students\, graduates and faculty mentors to address technological and educational needs of the Halton and Peel regions. Over the past 10 years\, he has been simultaneously partnering with SME enterprises on product and process innovation projects while developing an applied research program involving students\, graduates and faculty mentors to examine issues of product development / refinement\, process automation\, systems integration and manufacturing management. In the past year\, this work has been bolstered by a range of successful\, high-profile\, federally funded projects with companies in both regions. \nUnder his leadership\, through the Centre for Advanced Manufacturing and Design Technologies (CAMDT)\, Sheridan has been reaching out to a significant number of manufacturers in Brampton\, Mississauga and Oakville\, particularly small and medium enterprises\, to support adoption and integration of efficient manufacturing practices and product innovation performance and improvements. CAMDT now supports over a dozen local and regional SMEs who are struggling with limited availability of technological\, human\, financial\, and management resources. \nUnder his leadership\, Sheridan College recently become a member of the CDIO Initiative – a worldwide movement to restore the balance between teaching practice skills and the fundamentals of math and science to engineering students. What started as a partnership between MIT and a few Swedish universities in 2001 has gained significant international momentum\, with 103 institutions adopting the model. Sheridan is the fifth Canadian institution and the first college in the world to be accepted. \nAs a CDIO collaborator\, Farzad is seeking to develop a new curriculum structure based on a new philosophy for engineering education. The framework educates students to Conceive\, Design\, Implement and Operate complex\, value-added engineering products\, processes and systems in a modern\, team-based\, global environment. He aims to develop a curriculum rich in project-based\, hands-on learning\, producing engineers who are “ready to engineer” when they graduate. \nFarzad is ASME chair on additive manufacturing. As the committee chair\, he will be leading the launch of ASME’s inaugural additive manufacturing challenge designed to give mechanical and multi-disciplinary undergraduate students around the world an opportunity to re-engineer existing products or create new designs that minimize energy consumption and/or improve energy efficiency. As chair\, he will also be collaborating with ME department heads to develop educational material on behalf of ASME to benefit the educators and students. \nFarzad was recently designated an Engineers Canada Fellow by Engineers Canada. This prestigious award is presented in recognition of exceptional contributions to the engineering profession in Canada. \nFarzad has been a full-time professor in Sheridan’s Faculty of Applied Science and Technology since 2004. Currently\, he is the associate dean of the School of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering & Technology and director of the Centre for Advanced Manufacturing and Design Technologies (CAMDT).
