 Continuing Education Credits for License Renewal

For those of you who don't know already, the Florida Board of Professional

Engineers will be requiring Continuing Education credits for license renewal, it

is looking like the requirement will be 8 Professional Development Hours (PDH)

every 2 years. 4 of those hours must be in engineering law and/or eithcs.

Orlando IEEE PE/IAS/PES is looking into offering 1 to 2 PDH's for select

meetings that meet IEEE Coporate's criteria. This would be in addition to the

anual tutorial which is worth 10 PDH's. We will be announcing further details

in the future.

 

 IEEE Wet'n Wild Day

September 30th is the annual IEEE Wet and Wild day. Cost is $12 for adult

members and $10 for their children. Nonmembers pay only $20 and $15 for their

children. Please Contact Jerry Murphy at Jerry.Murphy@disney.com or (407)

824-4194 for further details. Parking and some food is included in this price,

we will also have our own area of the park.

 

 9th International IEEE Conference on Harmonics and Quality of Power

 

Sponsors: Sponsored by the University of Florida, College of Engineering, Department of

Electrical and Computer Engineering in connection with the IEEE Power

Engineering Society (PES).

 

Topic: The International Conference on Harmonics and Quality of Power (ICHQP)-formerly

International Conference on Harmonics in Power Systems (ICHPS)-is a well

established IEEE conference that is held biannially by rotation in and outside

the United States. The conference provides a forum for electrical engineers and

scientists in universities, utilities and industry to present their work and

share information in the area of harmonics and power quality.

 

Date: October 1-4, 2000, Orlando, FL USA

WORKSHOP FOCUS

 

The National Science Foundation is sponsoring a workshop to discuss educational issues related to teaching power electronics. The objective of this workshop is to assess current multimedia efforts and explore new means to develop multimedia-based instruction in the area of power electronics. The workshop will discuss various delivery technologies available and how to implement them into power electronics courses. Moreover, the workshop will focus on detailed course offerings, at both undergraduate and graduate levels, and will explore the current industry needs for power electronics engineers. The workshop will provide the opportunity to make use of the collective experiences of many experts in the field in regard to using the web technology in education.

 

The workshop will focus on the following Topics:

1. Multimedia enhancement tools for power electronics

2. Web-based delivery environments.

3. Hardware and software laboratory support.

4. Innovative industry-university partnerships in power electronics education.

5. Multidisciplinary team projects in power electronics (addressed in the Future Energy Challenge Kickoff).

Other related topics are welcome.

Workshop participation is open to people from academia and industry. The workshop registration fee of $150 covers costs of meal events and includes copies of the presentations. Partial travel support to presenters will be available based on the level of contribution. If you are interested to attend or participate in the workshop, please fill out the enclosed application form and email or fax it to Dr. Batarseh at the address below.

The 2001 Future Energy Challenge competition is sponsored by the U.S. Departments of Energy and Defense, by the IEEE Power Electronics Society, Industry Applications Society, and Industrial Electronics Society, and by other sponsors. Schools participate on a proposal basis. See the web site https://energy.ece.uiuc.edu/energychallenge for more information. In collaboration with this NSF Workshop, there will be additional sessions for schools whose proposals have been accepted. Sessions will address the technology issues of the 2001 competition, reach consensus on rule requirements, and provide an open forum for participants. Potential faculty advisors are encouraged to register for and participate in the NSF Workshop. Arrangements will be made for student team leaders to attend the Kickoff following the proposal review process during Fall 2000.
