NJ EDS, C&S Chapters:

Complex Electromagnetic Problems and Numerical Simulation Approaches

 

On June 24th, 2003, the IEEE NJ Section Electron Devices, and Circuits and Systems Chapters together with the New Jersey Institute of Technology will host a talk on " Complex Electromagnetic Problems and Numerical Simulation Approaches." The speaker will be Dr. Levent Sevgi.

About the Talk

Today's engineering problems are very complex, requiring powerful computer simulations to model them.  To properly utilize these programs, however, the user must still understand the physics that underpin the engineering. For engineers, observable based parameterization as well as numerically computable forms-with rapid convergent properties if in a series-are essential.   This presentation aims to look at certain class of complex electromagnetic problems that are currently under investigation, and/or, that need to be addressed; and a tutorial introduction into modeling and numerical simulation approaches.  The emphasize is placed on model development, model justification, canonical tests, characteristic comparisons, and range of validity.

About the Speaker

Levent Sevgi, BSEE, MSEE, PhD has been with the Electronics and Communication Engineering Department at Dogus University in Istanbul since Sep. 2001.  He was the Chair of the Electronic Systems Department in TUBITAK-MRC, Information Technologies Research Institute between 1999 and 2000.  He was awarded a two-year fellowship at the Weber Research Institute/Polytechnic University in New York in 1988 and also worked with the Scientific Research Group of Raytheon Systems, Canada in 1998.  He was with the Center for Defense Studies, ITUV-SAM between 1993-1997, for the Long Horizon Project studies for Turkish Navy, and between 2000 - 2002, for the Vessel Traffic System installation for Turkish Straits.

His research has focused on propagation in complex environments, EMC/BEM modeling and measurements, analytical and numerical  methods in electromagnetics, and radar systems.  He is the author or coauthor of nearly 30 journal and 50 international  conference papers.

PES/IAS:

Energy Pricing NJ

 

The Power Engineering and Industrial Applications Chapters will sponsor a technical meeting on September 18 concerning forces that are affecting the cost of electric energy in New Jersey.  The speaker is Peter Yochum, New Jersey Board of Public Utilities.

 

About the Talk

 

In 1999 New Jersey enacted deregulation legislation to make the retail natural gas and electric markets competitive.  The New Jersey Board of Public Utilities ("BPU") was charged with the responsibility of implementing this legislation.

 

There were two basic aspects of implementation.  The process portion: enrollment, metering, billing and consumer protection produced what is generally considered a workable framework for competition.  However in the area of rate design, fixed retail commodity rates during a period of rising wholesale costs hindered the ability of retail suppliers to compete.

 

The BPU is now implementing new initiatives, which become effective August 1, 2003.  Rates for all New Jersey customers will change and in some cases the rate design modifications will be dramatic.  Peter Yochum's presentation will focus on the reasons behind and implications of these rate design changes.

 

Time:  7:00 PM, Thursday, September 18, 2003.

Place:  PSE&G Training Center, Edison, NJ.  Directions:  Route 287 to Route 1 North, about 500 feet. Right on Pierson Road.  PSE&G first driveway on left.

Information:  Ken Oexle (973) 386-1156.

NJ Section PACE:

Unemployed Engineers

 

On Wednesday, June 11th, the North Jersey Section Professional Activities Committee will meet to discuss the involvement with Congressional, State and Local representatives.  As the job situation for members of the engineering community worsens this will prepare us to present and discuss our concerns.

You do not have to be unemployed to attend.  All jobs are being threatened.

You are encouraged to attend and bring your associates.

 

About the Meeting:

 

This meeting provides an opportunity to meet and discuss the unemployment situation.  High on the IEEE-USA list of subjects is unemployment and the displacement of American citizens by sending jobs offshore and imported foreign workers under the H-1B and L1 legislation.  Now the New Jersey State Senate and Assembly have introduced legislation affecting U.S. and foreign workers in NJ.

This year one IEEE-USA goal is to roll the H-1B number back to 65,000.  And, please do not confuse this as an "immigration" issue.  This is all about money and wage busting.

We need input and views from the unemployed on this important issue.  We would also like you to confirm your attendance via e-mail or telephone. When we reach a suitable attendance we will invite the press to give visibility to the employment situation here in New Jersey.

Our PACE meeting is open to discuss professional needs.  PACE provides the opportunity to meet, address, discuss and perhaps improve the professional aspects of the engineering profession.  We should take advantage of the opportunity to have a place and time to meet.  Invite your associates to join us.  Bring engineers and students from the other engineering disciplines

 

According to IEEE-USA leaders "Employment Assistance and Career Development are important" and they request your help.  More on these projects can be found at http://www.ieeeusa.org/.

 

"Today's Immigrant - Tomorrow's Victim" see http://www.aea.org/.

 

All Welcome!

 

You do not have to be a member of the IEEE to attend.  Members and students from other professional societies and engineering disciplines are always welcome.

 

Time:  6:30 to 8:30 PM, Wednesday, June 11, 2003.

Place:  Clifton Memorial Library, 292 Piaget Ave, Clifton, NJ, (973) 772-5500.

Information:  Paul Ward (973) 790-1625 (mailto:PWard1130@aol.com) or Richard F. Tax (201) 664-6954 (mailto:rtax@bellatlantic.net).

IEEE-USA Applauds Passage of Nanotechnology Bill

 

WASHINGTON (2 May 2003)  -  The House Science Committee on Thursday approved H.R. 766, the Nanotechnology Research and  Development Act of 2002. The   legislation   authorizes   $2.36   billion   over   three  years  for nanotechnology  R&D   programs  at  the  National  Science Foundation (NSF), Department  of  Energy,  Department of Commerce, NASA and the  Environmental Protection Agency.

 

"IEEE-USA   is pleased that  the  Science  Committee  has  displayed leadership  by  approving  this  important  piece of  legislation," IEEE-USA Research  &  Development  Policy  Committee  Chair  Ron Hira said.  "We look forward to working with the bill's sponsors to help educate other legislators on its importance."

 

Nanotechnology,  or research and technology development at the atomic, molecular  or  macromolecular  levels,  is  predicted  by NSF to become a $1 trillion global market in little over a decade.

 

"This bill, over time, will bolster our economy as well as add to our storehouse of knowledge," said Science Committee Chairman Sherwood Boehlert (R-N.Y.),   primary sponsor of the legislation with Rep.  Mike Honda (D-Calif.).

Unemployment Rate for Electrical Engineers Skyrockets to Record Level

 

WASHINGTON (28 April 2003) The unemployment rate for electrical engineers  (EEs)  rose to an unprecedented 7.0 percent in  the first quarter of  2003,  according to the U.S. Department of Labor.  The rate stood at 3.9 percent  in  the previous  quarter, and is a full percentage point above the quarterly figure for all workers.

 

The previous high quarterly EE jobless rate was 4.8 percent (second quarter, 2002).  It's difficult to compare the figures, however, because the Bureau   of   Labor   Statistics   (BLS)   has  revamped  its occupational classifications   and  reporting  conventions  to  produce more detailed and accurate reports.

 

"Despite the change in the bureau's accounting and reporting methods, these unemployment figures are alarming," IEEE-USA President-Elect John Steadman said.  "We knew anecdotally that things were bad for many in engineering and computer fields, and these statistics confirm our concerns for engineering employment."

 

The BLS report showed an unemployment rate for computer software engineers  at  7.5  percent,  and  at  6.5  percent   for  computer hardware engineers,  two  of  the  bureau's  new  occupational  categories.  Computer scientists, including systems analysts, showed a slight improvement in joblessness, dropping from 5.1 percent at the end of 2002 to 4.9 percent. Computer programmers recorded a first-quarter rate of 6.7 percent.

 

When the number of unemployed EEs is added to each of the above computer categories, 172,000 high-tech   professionals are out of work. Computer software engineers led the way with 62,000.

 

To help mitigate unemployment for U.S.  high-tech  professionals, IEEE-USA  is  calling  on  Congress  to  return  the  H-1B visa quota to its historical  level  of  65,000.  The current cap is 195,000.  IEEE-USA is also concerned about potential abuses in the L-1 intracompany visa transfer program.  Business Week magazine reported in March that 329,000 people were working in the United States on L-1 visas in 2001, many in high-tech sectors.

 

"While we realize the sluggish U.S. economy is responsible for much of the unemployment," Steadman said, "we can't  discount the role played by the continuing  influx of foreign workers on temporary work visas, and the dramatic  increase   in  offshore outsourcing.  Congress needs to create incentives that help to spur the growth and retention of high-value, high-tech jobs here in the United States."
