The automotive industry is in the midst of a significant transformation. “CASE: Connected, Autonomous, Shared & Service, Electric” has been advocated as a trend. Along with this trend, automotive E/E (Electrical/Electronic) architecture will evolve from the current distributed architecture to a domain architecture and then to the future zone architecture in the autonomous driving era. The lecture introduces the requirement of automotive system design for in-vehicle devices and their key technologies, including processors for the infotainment system and advanced vehicle control. The lecture also covers automotive functional safety. Speaker(s): , Sugako Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/446422

We will tour all of the Horizon Point building, although we will not access the secure system control areas. General information will be given on the building, working for Black Hills Energy (BHE), and upcoming internships. A short presentation on utility careers and energy sector questions will be lead by Marvin Geersen. In addition to engineers, a member from the Human Resources will be available to answer questions about corporate careers and employment advice. The event will be targeted for students considering future work in the energy sector. RSVP is highly encouraged. Visitors can park on either side of the building. Drivers should back in or pull through the parking spots. All visitors must sign in at the security desk. Visitors need to tell the security team they are here for an IEEE meeting and the contact person is Marvin Geersen.
