SUMMARY:Humber College Competitive Programming Workshops
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Andrew Rudder will be teaching programming concepts with a focus on competitive programming. Various languages may be used. You should be familiar with any of the following programming languages Java\, C#\, C\, C++ or python. A basic knowledge of selection logic (such as if statements)\, loops and functions are sufficient.\nThis is a prerequisite for Humber IEEE Students attending IEEExtreme competitions.\nCourse continues depending on registration. Course is free. Available to any current Humber students.\nCourse will probably last until October 2022. Breaks for Humber Midterm exams\, final exams and reading weeks.\nCo-sponsored by: Dr. Andrew Rudder\nRoom: J233A\, Bldg: 2nd floor\, 205 Humber College Blvd\, Etobicoke\, Ontario\, Canada\, M9W5L7

SUMMARY:Engineering Idol 2023 - Lunar Gateway
DESCRIPTION:Date updated to Arpil 1st\, 2023 because of the snow storm and inaccessibility of the venue on March 4th.\n—————————————\nWelcome 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.\nSummary 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.)\nThe 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.\nThe 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;\n4. a mission control centre for operations on the Moon; and 5. one day\, a stepping stone for voyages to Mars.\nWhen 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.\nThe 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.\nCo-sponsored by: Professional Engineering Ontario (PEO)\nSpeaker(s): Dr John Moores\,\nBldg: Bergeron Centre\, 11 Arboretum Ln\, North York\, Ontario\, Canada\, M3J 2S5

SUMMARY:Data-Driven Anomaly Detection & Prediction for IoT
DESCRIPTION: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.\nSpeaker(s): Phone Lin\,\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/358912

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