Despite the significant contributions engineers make to Canadian society, their involvement in core policy discussions remains limited. Recognizing this disconnect, IEEE Canada is undertaking initiatives to bridge this gap. With over 70 student branches across the country, IEEE Canada is uniquely positioned to engage engineering students in policy discussions and encourage the development of innovative solutions to emerging technological challenges. To address these challenges, we are launching a pilot program titled “Policy and Tech Talk” (PTT). This program aims to engage engineering students in discussions about the intersection of technology and policy, providing them with the knowledge and skills needed to contribute meaningfully to policy development in Canada. Phase 1: Writing Contest (November & December 2024) The first phase of the program will focus on a writing contest during . Phase 2: Podcast Participation with Policymakers (January & February 2025) The top three to four essays from the contest will be selected, and their authors will be invited to participate in a podcast with relevant policymakers to discuss their ideas. This will not only provide students with an opportunity to present their insights to influential figures but also bridge the gap between academic discourse and policy development. Stay tuned for more updates ! Co-sponsored by: IEEE Canada Foundation Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/433333

As we move towards a data oriented world, it is important for organizations to be able to collect data from multiple sources, apply business logic and transformation and extract intelligence that can help in making better decisions. Data ingestion can be based on real-time streams or batch based data. Apache NiFi is an easy to use reliable system that can be configured to ingest data from various sources, make transformations while handling multiple data formats and send data to downstream applications, dashboards or databases for consumption or display. Basically NiFi was built to automate the flow of data between systems and it performs this task very well with a browser based design. We will look at NiFi basics, architecture, data formats, a large number of functions, how it can benefit an organization, integrate data and provide ETL/ELT functionality.

[] Free Registration (with a Zoom account; you can get one for free if you don't already have it): https://sjsu.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZcvf--vrD0vG9PV_qyMcgadMIWG2eH2LrpY Synopsis: Neurological disorders are a leading cause of disability and death worldwide. Early detection and efficient management of these disorders can provide significant health benefits. By providing real-time, data-driven insights AI-driven methods meet an urgent need for early detection and management of these disorders. In this talk, Prof. Phoha will present the potential of AI-driven early diagnosis and Digital Therapeutics (DTx) for neurological disorders. Using the unique properties of data generated through neurological anomalies and disorders, one can use AI methods such as transfer learning from existing knowledge; one-shot and few-shot learning for spiking and sparse data, and hidden Markov models to find underlying relationships and causes of malignant neurological disorders. The speaker will show how the generated data can be captured through smart wearables and phones, how uncovering relationships provides insights for digital rehabilitation, and how using augmented reality and virtual reality provides tremendous potential for cognitive therapy, psychiatric assessments, and rehabilitation. Prof. Phoha will outline a proof-of-concept smart diagnostics-enabled mirror and discuss security issues in smart diagnostics. Speaker(s): Prof. Vir Phoha, Dr. Vishnu S.
