An Introduction to Quantum Logic Gates for Electrical Engineering Undergraduate Students
Room: 336, Bldg: EEP, 501 E. Saint Joseph Street, Rapid City, South Dakota, United States, 57701, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/556768As computer hardware has become smaller and smaller, the potential for applying quantum mechanics to computing logic has grown. This talk briefly discusses the state of quantum computing, what comprises a quantum computer and why different logic is required. The discussion then moves to a conceptual description of quantum circuits and how quantum logic works through an extension of classical computing logic. This includes defining the qubit and a brief introduction to entanglement. Dirac notation, which is shorthand notation that is heavily used in quantum computing, will be outlined but not described in deep detail. This leads to quantum logic gates, of which a subset affecting one to two qubits is discussed in detail. The discussion here includes diagramming and computing quantum circuits. Finally, an overview of the state of careers in the field is presented.

Bldg: Downtown Panino's Restaurant, 604 North Tejon Street, Colorado Springs, Colorado, United States, 80903Distinguished Lecture on Source-Gated Transistors Dr. Radu Sporea, Distinguished Lecturer Electron Devices Society Advanced Technology Institute, School of Computer Science and Electronic Engineering, University of Surrey Editorial Note: The Source-Gated Transistor offers significantly higher gain than the standard MOS transistor. This can provide lower power and more manufacturable large arrays. These kinds of devices are expected to be used in applications that require low-cost manufacturing, mechanical flexibility, low power and various forms of sensing. The popular applications are for low cost flexible displays, bandaid-like medical sensors for glucose, pulse oximetry and other body functions. Odor and gas sensors are also important. Key considerations for obtaining high performance contact-controlled thin-film transistors Source-gated transistors (SGTs) have a relatively long history of development but only recently have mainstream technologies allowed for their effective implementation at scale. This talk is addressed to those interested in efficient analog and mixed signal design with advanced thin-film transistors. They provide a development progression with a forward look toward SGT application to future edge processing of sensor data, signal conditioning, and current-mode driving. Crucially, the concept can be applied in practically any material system. As such, the talk will present the fundamentals of contact effect engineering and modeling, design rules for successful SGT implementation, specifics of performance optimization in thin-film silicon, organic, and oxide semiconductors, and structural evolutions for additional functionality. Finally, the next step in the evolution of contact-controlled thin-film transistor, the multimodal transistor (MMT) will be briefly introduced.

IEEE R5 Houston Section & Women In Engineering Speaker Series – From Electrical to Software: Lessons from an Unplanned Switch
Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/557801What does it really take to move from hardware to software engineering—and does it always require a formal plan? In this candid, experience-driven webinar, our speaker shares her unexpected journey from electrical engineering into software—starting in a small-to-mid-sized company where “doing a bit of everything” turned into a full career pivot. Instead of a step-by-step playbook, this session focuses on what actually happens in the real world: - How working across hardware and software can naturally open the door to transition - The reality of learning to code on the job—and what “good code” really means - How formal education (like a master’s program) can reshape your understanding of algorithms, structure, and scalability - Why starting before you’re ready—by automating tasks and building tools—can accelerate your transition - Real examples of turning manual work into software solutions (long before AI tools existed) - How AI is now changing the way engineers write code—and what that means for career switchers Whether you’re intentionally planning a transition or simply finding yourself doing more software work over time, this session will help you recognize opportunities, build the right skills, and take practical steps toward a software-focused role. 👉Join us for a 1-hour session including live Q&A.

Bldg: 777 Main, 777 Main St, Suite 2500, Fort Worth, Texas, United States, 76102, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/549624For our May meeting, we are happy to welcome Drew Welton from Intellirent to come speak on Advanced Transformer Diagnostics. Presentation: Power transformers are among the most critical and expensive assets in electrical transmission and distribution networks. Despite their robust design and careful manufacturing processes, transformer failures continue to pose significant challenges to grid reliability, operational safety, and economic efficiency. Understanding the complex interplay of electrical, thermal, mechanical, and environmental stresses that lead to transformer failures is essential for developing effective testing protocols, maintenance strategies, and life extension programs. The consequences of transformer failure extend far beyond equipment replacement costs. Catastrophic failures can result in extended power outages affecting thousands of customers, safety hazards including fire and explosion risks, environmental contamination from oil spills, and damage to adjacent substation equipment. For testing professionals, comprehensive knowledge of failure mechanisms enables the development of more targeted diagnostic approaches and early warning systems that can prevent catastrophic events before they occur. In this session we will present some of the latest advanced diagnostic techniques designed to reduce premature failure, focusing on insulation, and mechanical failures. Speaker Bio: Drew Welton (IEEE Senior) is Vice President of Business and Technical Development, leading strategic growth initiatives by identifying new business opportunities, forging partnerships, and overseeing the development and implementation of technical solutions.

Abstract: Intelligent Traffic Management System - DALI NEXUS Traffic congestion remains one of the most pressing urban challenges of our time. In the Dallas-Fort Worth region alone, motorists spend more than 127 million hours in traffic delays each year, waste 44 million gallons of fuel, and incur an estimated $3.1 billion in annual costs. These impacts extend well beyond lost time and money, contributing to environmental degradation and adverse public health outcomes. This talk presents DALI NEXUS, an innovative AI-driven traffic infrastructure designed to transform rigid traffic management systems into collaborative, intelligent networks. DALI NEXUS brings together three tightly connected components: DALI-TCS, which transforms existing traffic control systems into adaptive intelligent systems without requiring new hardware; DALI-Connect, a cloud-based infrastructure that links intersections and road users; and DALI-App, which delivers real-time alerts, safety notifications, and live updates to drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians. As a pilot deployment, DALI-TCS was implemented across 15 intersections in the City of Richardson, where it has proven effective in reducing congestion and improving traffic operations.

Intro to Knowledge Graphs and Grounding LLMs w/ Knowledge Graphs, including a few Neo4j real-world examples
Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/557613Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) has become a widely adopted technique for reducing hallucinations and injecting domain knowledge into large language models. Most implementations rely on vector similarity search. This is effective for semantic matching but limited when accurate responses require understanding relationships between entities, not just proximity in embedding space. This session introduces knowledge graphs as a complementary grounding architecture for LLM pipelines. We'll examine where vector RAG breaks down in scenarios like: ● Multi-hop reasoning ● Entity disambiguation ● Relational context The session will demonstrate how a property graph model captures what embeddings obscure. Attendees will see how GraphRAG pipelines combine the recall strengths of vector search with the precision of graph traversal, producing responses that are more accurate and inherently more explainable. No prior graph database experience is required, as we’ll be introducing the fundamental building blocks of the labeled property graph paradigm. Engineers familiar with RAG pipelines and transformer-based models will find the concepts immediately applicable. Speaker(s): Rob Martin, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/557613
