ABSTRACT:
How to WOW your audience and set yourself apart from other candidates!
An elevator pitch is what I call your “prime-time” commercial in 60
seconds or less. In this short period of time, you have an opportunity
to get the attention of your listeners causing them to take an interest
in you and your expertise. Think of this 60 seconds as “You in a nut
shell”. In that critical 1st sentence or first 10 seconds, your listener
is going to decide if they want to tune in or tune out.
Why is this important? It is important for you to be clear on what you
offer including experience at it relates to the opportunity, what makes
you unique and sets you apart from the competition, and spotlights your
best attributes….all in 60 seconds or less.
So whether you are a job seeker trying to impress a prospective
employer; or a startup looking to sell your idea to an investor; or an
executive working toward the “next level” in your career; you will need
an elevator pitch to differentiate your offering from your “competitors”
in the marketplace.

Ram Achar (achar@doe.carleton.ca)
ABSTRACT:
The continuous shrinking of feature size to increase the integration
level of silicon chips has presented major challenges to the reverse
engineer, obsolescing simple teardowns and demanding the adoption of
new and more sophisticated technology to analyze chips. The following
types of analysis will be covered in detail:
· product teardown;
· techniques used for system-level analysis, both hardware and software;
· circuit extraction, taking the chip down to the transistor level
and working back up through the interconnects to create schematics;
· process analysis, looking at how the chip is made, and what it is
made of.
This presentation is an update of an invited paper given at the 2007
IEEE Custom Integrated Circuits Conference (CICC) with more focus on
circuit extraction and cross-referencing between circuit schematics and
the 1000's of physical layout images obtained through generating a
mosaic of scanning electron microscopy across all device layers.

ABSTRACT:
There's more to success than just passing your courses. There are a lot
of skills to be learned outside of the classroom that greatly contribute
to your future. And the earlier you start learning them, the earlier you
can reach your goals. Carleton's WISE, IEEE WIE, and Career Services
have joined forces to give you the career building essentials and help
you stand out. Whether you are actively looking for a job or not, this
is an event you don't want to miss. You will hear from experts on network
-ing and negotiation as well as have the opportunity to speak to mentors
from industry, to meet other students in your field, and to build your
skills.

ABSTRACT:
Together, we will discuss strategies for career progression and
advancement to leadership in a competitive environment. Learn about
recent statistics, social science research and development efforts for
the advancement of women engineers. Industry-university collaborations
are one way of extending our networks and fostering success: we will
hear from NSERC about funding programs and learn from women who have
had success in this area. Other hands-on activities will include practicing
our communication skills in the context of male-dominated technical fields,
trading effective practices for work/life balance and small group career
planning with experienced mentors and managers.

ABSTRACT: The Scientific Research and Experimental Development (SR&ED)
Program provides millions of dollars in tax credits to encourage Canadian
businesses to conduct applied R&D that will lead to new, improved, or
technologically advanced products, processes, principles, methodologies,
or materials. Who qualifies? What kind of projects qualify? What are
the regulations, amendments, opportunities and pitfalls? In this session
we will relay the latest SR&ED program news, review some of the program
basics, point out areas of opportunity for IEEE members in respect of
SR&ED claimable activities and help you avoid common pitfalls.
The presentation will be relevant for all participants but will focus on
the issues that most commonly arise for start-up entities. It is
envisioned that it will be an interactive session and expect participants
to ask many questions and to voice their concerns about the program.

Abstract
The millimeter wave technology has been known for several decades but was
mainly used for military communications. In this presentation we
specifically focus on 60 GHz band as recently a massive unlicensed spectrum
up to 9GHz has been allocated worldwide in this band for civilian
communication. This spectrum is a very promising candidate for multigigabit
wireless transmission systems including wireless personal area network
(WPAN) as well as Wireless local area network (WLAN) usage. The effective
interference level in this band is less severe then those WLAN systems
deployed in the congested WiFi bands (2-2.5 GHz and 5-5.8 GHz). As a result,
higher frequency reuse can be achieved, leading to a very high throughput
network. After summarizing the current status of standardization activities
for 60 GHz band we will focus on a series of technical challenges that need
to be resolved before the full deployment of multigigabit wireless multimedia
communications. These include 60 GHz propagation and antennas, CMOS circuit
design, modulation schemes, LDPC-based error correction schemes and MAC
layer design.

ABSTRACT: The nature of innovation is changing dramatically in the 21st century. Proprietary invention in search of purpose is out. Open, collaborative and multi-disciplinary approaches to innovation are taking centre stage in the shaping of new ideas and creation of tangible value for business, individuals and the world. What forces are behind this trend? What new demands will be placed on students, educators and technology professionals? How can we prepare for these challenges?
The computing discipline – present, historical and hypothetical – will motivate a sampling of insights into these and other challenging questions.

ABSTRACT (brief): an overview of the use of mobile agents in wireless ad hoc networks, especially in their practical realization for wireless personal communications and wireless sensor networking. In the first example, we describe the Bluescout mobile agents for scatternet formation in Bluetooth networks, which adaptively reconfigures the Bluetooth scatternet to maximize the size of individual piconets. In the second example, we present the design of a mobile agent platform for wireless sensor networks known as Wiseman, and describe a limited experimental implementation of Wiseman and its evaluation. The presentation concludes with discussions of open research issues concerning the application of mobile agents in wireless networks, and potential applications of mobile agents in wireless networks of the future.
3.0 Wellness Survey Request
As a follow through on an initiative launched by our IEEE Ottawa Section member, IEEE Canada wishes to ascertain the interest level for a wellness program with GoodLife Fitness. We request your cooperation to complete a 20 second survey at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/5X8S3ZS
Note: GoodLife Fitness offers presently only one other "affinity program", it is with CMA (Canadian Medical Association) at http://www.cma.ca/index.php?ci_id=10043394&la_id=1 . Depending on the responses from the survey above we may be able to offer an attractive corporate program for IEEE Canada members.
