This webinar is a collaboration between IEEE-USA and IEEE Women in Engineering (WIE). Trying to re-enter the workforce after an extended absence presents challenges, and can be a daunting task. Changes have happened in the workplace and in technologies used. The atmosphere and expectations may have changed (for example, the impacts COVID had on remote work for many jobs!) You have changed… and self-doubt may have crept in after being away! However, preparing in advance is the key to easing the challenges. In this talk, you will hear about my own return to work after 12 years of minimal part-time employment in my field, and also information from my own research into what experts recommend. You will learn: - What is an extended absence (and the impact of how long “extended” is!) - Why it is important to prepare for returning - When to start preparing - How to prepare - Who to seek out for support / assistance - Where to look for opportunities Speaker(s): Jill Gostin Agenda: IEEE-USA's free webinars/events are designed to help you find your next job, maintain your career, negotiate an appropriate salary, understand ethical considerations in the workplace and learn about other career-building strategies and public policy developments that affect your profession.

RS&H engineering discussion and job information. One University Way, San Antonio, Texas, United States, 78224

This presentation will focus on the evolution of AI over the last few decades from rule-based AI to machine learning to deep neural networks to the various flavors of deep natural networks: including convolutional neural networks, recurrent neural networks leading to transformers, and the large language models (LLMs). The latest advances, such as multimodal transformers, agentic framework, and the extension to robotics will also be discussed. Most importantly, the presentation will be driven by use cases that we all can relate to and appreciate the impacts of. This will be an interactive session and not a one-way presentation to make the session relevant and impactful.

Abstract: As engineering systems become increasingly interconnected and reliant on digital technologies, cybersecurity is emerging as a critical concern across various fields. This presentation explores the role of cybersecurity in safeguarding innovations in industrial control systems, IoT devices, biomedical systems, and critical infrastructure. Key topics include the vulnerabilities associated with SCADA systems, the risks posed by poorly secured IoT networks, and the challenges of protecting connected medical devices. Real-world case studies, such as the Stuxnet worm, Mirai botnet, and WannaCry ransomware attacks, illustrate the devastating consequences of cyberattacks on essential systems. The presentation also covers best practices for engineers, such as secure coding and security-by-design principles, and highlights emerging trends like AI-driven cybersecurity and quantum encryption. Emphasizing the engineer’s responsibility in integrating security at every stage of development, this talk provides actionable insights for building resilient, future-proof systems.
