Engineering Idol 2023 – Lunar Gateway

Bldg: Bergeron Centre, 11 Arboretum Ln, North York, Ontario, Canada, M3J 2S5

Date updated to Arpil 1st, 2023 because of the snow storm and inaccessibility of the venue on March 4th. --------------------------------------- Welcome to Engineering Idol 2023 Competition! Engineering is more than math and science and we hope this contest will give you an understanding of the practice of professional Engineering. Summary of this year's competition: The United States-led Lunar Gateway, a space station in lunar orbit, will be the next major international collaboration in human space exploration. It is an important part of an ambitious plan by NASA and the International Space Station (ISS) partners, including Canada, to send humans deeper into space than we have ever been. About one-sixth of the size of the ISS, this new outpost will be developed, serviced, and utilised in collaboration with international and commercial partners. (Canada is contributing a smart robotic system, Canadarm3, to the Gateway.) The area of space around the Moon can help us prepare for human missions to more distant destinations like Mars. Building a space station around the Moon allows for: 1. A deeper understanding of the possible health effects of cosmic radiation and solar storms on astronauts living and working outside of Earth's protective magnetic field; 2. Access to the lunar surface to conduct cutting-edge science; 3. A unique setting for technology demonstrations; 4. Observations of the stars, our Sun, and our planet; 5. An easier return to Earth. The Gateway will be: 1. a science laboratory; 2. a testbed for new technologies; 3. a rendezvous location for exploration of the surface of the Moon; 4. a mission control centre for operations on the Moon; and 5. one day, a stepping stone for voyages to Mars. When fully assembled, the Gateway will include modules for scientific research and living quarters for crews of four astronauts. They will be able to live and work on the Gateway for up to three months at a time, occasionally travelling to the lunar surface to conduct science and test new technologies. Eventually, these missions could last longer in order to prepare for the deeper-space missions of the future. The objective of this competition is to desing the modules and manufacture them in a reduced scale for teh competition day. Supporting documents should be provided during the competition date for judging purposes.

Data-Driven Anomaly Detection & Prediction for IoT

Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/358912

Anomaly detection/prediction usually relies on wide domain knowledge to build up the tools to automatically detect/predict abnormal events or behaviors of an IoT system. An IoT system may consist of machines with different capabilities, functionalities and ages. Abnormal events or behaviors are usually rare events. It is time-consuming and high-cost to build up the domain knowhow of the IoT systems and collect enough data points of the anomaly. In this lecture, I first identify the issues and challenges. Then I illustrate a general environment for anomaly detection/perdition. Then I will illustrate the technologies and solutions for anomaly detection/prediction, and show some prototypes and their applications.

Overview of CubeSats: from Concept to Orbit, by Prof. Reyhan Baktur

Room: EPH 225, Bldg: Eric Pallin Hall, Toronto Metropolitan University (formerly Ryerson University), 87 Gerrard St East, Toronto, Ontario, Canada

IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society (AP-S) Distinguished Lecture Please join us for an upcoming lecture on 27 Apr. 2023 at 11 am – 12 pm (Eastern Time) by Prof. Reyhan Baktur, from Utah State University, USA. Overview of CubeSats: from Concept to Orbit CubeSats are modular and standardized modern small satellites. They have been gaining steady popularity as educational projects, low-cost space exploration vehicles for technology demonstrations, multi-point observations of space environment, and monitoring/reporting proper deployment of expensive deep space instruments. With rapid advancement of electronics, novel mechanical design, and aerospace technology, new progress in CubeSats is emerging every day. This calls for interests and early involvements of creative young minds. The objective of this presentation is to convey the basics of CubeSat development cycle, launch methods, typical CubeSat orbits, link budget analysis, various antenna solutions, and feasible classroom projects. For the interests of young professionals in electrical engineering, this lecture features a tour of several recent CubeSat missions and antenna designs for spacecraft, ground station, and radio beacon. Biography Dr. Reyhan Baktur is an associate professor at the department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE), Utah State University (USU). Her research interests include antennas and microwave engineering with a focus on antenna design for CubeSats; optically transparent antennas; multifunctional integrated antennas, sensors, and microwave circuits. She is affiliated with the Center for Space Engineering at USU, the Space Dynamics Laboratory (the university affiliated research center), and collaborates with NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. Dr. Baktur is an an IEEE Antennas and Propagation (APS) Distinguished Lecturer of 2022-2024, AdCom member of IEEE APS, and is active in US National Committee of the International Union of Radio Science, serving as the vice chair for commission B, and the inaugural chair for the Women in Radio Science.

Terahertz Chip-Scale Systems: A New Design Paradigm

Room: BA1230, Bldg: Bahen Center for Information Technology, 40 St George St, Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Silicon-based Terahertz systems is a field that is only about a decade old. In this time, we have seen a phenomenal growth of silicon systems operating at THz frequencies for a wide range of applications in sensing, imaging and communication. It can be argued that both the ‘THz gap’ and the ‘technology and applications gap’ is closing in meaningful ways in the THz range. Technologies beyond 100 GHz focusing on sensing, imaging and wireless back-haul links are getting attractive as we enter into a new area of highly dense network of autonomous systems requiring ultra-high speed and reliable links. In order to move beyond this inflection point as Moore’s law continue to slow, I will discuss why we need to look beyond the classical ‘device’-level metrics of efficiency and sensitivity of THz sources and detectors towards holistic ‘system’ level properties such as scalability and programmability. Such properties are critically important for applications in sensing and imaging, as evidenced across sensor fusion technologies across mmWave, IR and optical frequencies. In this talk, I will highlight approaches that cut across electromagnetics, circuits, systems and signal processing, to allow for such reconfigurability in THz signal synthesis and sensing, yet realized with devices that are themselves not very efficient. Particularly, we will demonstrate approaches to THz beamforming arrays, CMOS sensors reconfigurable across the three field properties of spectrum (100 GHz-1000 GHz), beam pattern and polarization (Nature Comm’19), programmable THz metasurfaces with CMOS tiling (Nature Elec’20), and enabling dynamic spectrum shaping (ISSCC’21, JSSC’21) and physically secure sub-THz links (ISSCC’20, Nature Elec’21). In the end, I will comment on what could be the major directions for the field in the coming decade.
