Humans make decisions and solve problems using heuristics (“thinking fast”) or abstract approaches such as modeling (“thinking slow”). Artificial intelligence approaches can similarly use either heuristics that are related to correlation and categorization, or use models that are related to causation. Predictive Engineering, which melds engineering modeling with probabilistic thinking, aligns closely with causation and an aspect of artificial intelligence called Causal Learning. Issues with some artificial intelligence approaches will be explored, with real (and sometimes controversial and provocative) examples, and promising approaches encompassing causation /predictive engineering will be discussed.

Two Night Seminar Covering Alarm Management Fundamentals: This course is geared towards practicing electrical, control and instrument engineers who perform engineering on systems which develop alarms impacting operators. Abstract: Poor alarm management is one of the leading causes of unplanned downtime, contributing to over $20B in lost production every year , and of major industrial incidents such as the one in Texas City (2005). Developing good alarm management practices is not a discrete activity, but more of a continuous process (i.e., it is more of a journey than a destination). This paper will describe the ISA -18.2 standard, “Management of Alarm Systems for the Process Industries” . Example alarm considerations for intelligent motors/motor controls, drives, and electrical infrastructure integrated into process control systems will also be discussed as well as why electrical engineers who implement IEC 61850 substation automation systems need to adhere to alarm management standards. ISA 18.2 provides a framework and methodology for the successful design, implementation, operation and management of alarm systems and will allow end-users to address one of the fundamental conclusions of Bransby and Jenkinson that “Poor performance costs money in lost production and plant damage and weakens a very important line of defense against hazards to people.” Co-sponsored by: Donald G.

Abstract: As the complexity of modern computers, embedded devices, and satellites increases, so does the need for stronger cybersecurity. Government agencies are mandating cybersecurity measures for new space missions, raising concerns among technology providers. This paper discusses the growing necessity of incorporating Secure Boot to enhance satellite security. Secure Boot verifies the authenticity of an operating system or software before execution, starting with a root of trust that uses fixed keys and digital signatures for verification. While Secure Boot is commonly associated with the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) on consumer platforms, it is typically restricted to modern architectures. Space platforms often operate at their computational limits, and introducing Secure Boot could further reduce their processing capacity. However, implementing Secure Boot on a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) can prevent the processor from sharing the computational load, minimizing the impact on overall system performance. Furthermore, applying Secure Boot enhances security by making the configuration tamper-evident after initialization, preventing unauthorized modifications to the boot process. This immutability fortifies the system’s integrity and strengthens defenses against tampering or malicious attacks. Given these challenges, dedicating an FPGA core to Secure Boot provides an effective solution. As cybersecurity demands for satellites increase, accelerating Secure Boot via an FPGA core mitigates the performance impact while significantly bolstering security. This approach addresses the unique needs of space platforms and offers a robust response to the evolving challenges of satellite cybersecurity. Talk is restricted to US Citizens.

Title: Interconnection Scaling – Going Big and Going Small Abstract: This presentation will cover a high-level overview of interconnections between integrated circuits – trends over the past several decades and what technologies may support future trends, along with a discussion of basic signal integrity considerations for such interconnections. Over most of the past 50 years the scaling of silicon integration was the winning hand for increased performance with packaging and interconnections scaling at substantial lower rates. Fundamental challenges in nanometer process nodes have effectively ended the steadily increasing benefits of Moore’s Law so new paradigms for 2D, 2.5D, and 3D Heterogeneous Integration packaging technologies are being proposed and developed to keep system performance scaling moving forward. Rapidly moving a lot of data between chips is fundamental to all these approaches. One approach for dense, high bandwidth interconnections will be discussed in some detail to illustrate tradeoffs and discuss the limits of how interconnections between chips can reach the limits of interconnections within chips.

Creating a More Reliable Grid Through Distribution Automation: Reconfiguration, Volt-Var & Design: This talk discusses the integration of Automated Circuit Support and Volt Var Optimization (VVO) in distribution utility systems to improve grid reliability, efficiency, and power quality. Circuit Support focuses on reducing the duration and frequency of outages by enabling automated switching operations among nearby circuits during fault events. This system utilizes equipment with real-time fault detection and automated responses like back feeding to restore power to affected zones. The benefits of automated circuit support include reduced outage times and reliability in the electric utility grid. VVO enhances system performance by optimizing the voltage and lower reactive power (VAR) levels to reduce energy loss throughout the circuit. The importance of maintaining a low VAR-to-real power ratio is highlighted, particularly in mitigating the impact of inductive loads from industrial and residential sources. Autumn will also outline the process of designing and constructing distribution systems, including structural analysis, wooden utility poles, and line reconfiguration. The combination of these projects leads to a more efficient and resilient electrical grid, capable of better serving customers while minimizing the impact of outages and improving power quality.

Abstract: This presentation explores the essential skills and knowledge needed by control system engineers in the space launch industry, focusing on the gap between academic theory and practical industry applications. While graduates learn key concepts like linear and nonlinear systems, root-locus methods, and Matlab-based analysis, professionals in the field must go further by mastering Nichols plots, designing control schemes for multiple-input systems, and performing complex analyses in languages like Fortran. This talk aims to prepare future engineers by highlighting these advanced skills, ensuring they are well-equipped to contribute to the evolving demands of the space launch sector. Attendees will learn how to apply their academic foundations to real-world challenges and innovate within the industry.

(file:///C:/Users/elsen/Downloads/Add%20a%20heading.pdf) Reclamation Day is the beginning of what is to be a regular discussion board where students can ask about future events, initiatives and the role IEEE in their lives academic students and future industry leaders. The event hosted will have food and beverages to attract the students to relax and open their minds to the possibility of the change brought through EE/STEM/ and electronic majors, we vie for public input and emphasis the need to fill the Officer roles with future prospect with student volunteers. Vicariously we also seek to inform our members of the direct benefits in the IEEE as official members and how those experiences can be attributed in events, campaigns and trips to electronic related industries. Campaigns are also a corner stone of this event as the final note of the event we seek to unveil Catbox Inc. a non profit organization that was headlined by a senior member of the CS Emilee Herrington whom after graduating contracted the local chapter of IEEE to solve a local issue with the feline population, this event is very much inclined to bring together the aspect of social networking and humanitarian purposes which could later be fitted into the prospect of a headlining initiative which can be implemented independently of industry. Join us in highlighting the need to bring about change through the progress of discussion and technological breakthroughs!

In novel, beyond Von Neumann, computational approaches the use of magnons (or quanta of spin waves) is particularly promising due to the small intrinsic energies of individual magnons (μeV), the possibility of using phase, in addition to magnitude, as a state variable, and the possibility to control the magnon dispersion properties in a magnetic sample by varying the direction and magnitude of the bias magnetic field . However, the use of magnons in advanced and neuromorphic computing is severely limited by the existing linear methods of magnon excitation, which are based on current-driven inductive transducers which have poor energy efficiency due to Ohmic losses, and are unable to effectively excite ultra-short exchange-dominated magnons. Here we propose to use a resonator-like energy-efficient gate, based on the effect of voltage-controlled magnetic anisotropy (VCMA) , as a new type of antenna for parametric excitation and reception of exchange-dominated magnons of a submicron wavelength, having a well-defined phase. When a pumping voltage V of a microwave frequency is applied to a resonator-like VCMA gate, the parametric excitation of two short-wavelength counter-propagating half-pumping-frequency magnons and will occur The magnetic anisotropy under the gate will be changed, causing partial reflections of the excited magnons at the both gate boundaries. The excited magnons, then, will have a well-defined phase, that is determined by the phase of the pumping voltage and by the reflection properties of the VCMA resonator. The wavenumber of the excited magnons could be large, and unrelated to the gate size, as it is determined only by the pumping frequency, and the magnon dispersion law . The same resonator-like VCMA gate can also act as a receiver of propagating short-wavelength magnons that will create a standing wave under the gate with double the magnon frequency. This standing wave of the frequency will be detected using a parametric confluence process opposite to the parametric splitting process (1) used for the excitation of magnons at the input VCMA gate. Our calculations show that the reflection of the excited magnons at the gate boundaries reduces the excitation threshold up to two times (in the case of full reflection ). The calculated excitation threshold for the VCMA gate is presented in Fig. 1. In our calculations we used geometric parameters that are typical for VCMA experiment made on Fe/MgO heterostructures (see e.g. : thickness of the Fe waveguide , thickness of dielectric layer , waveguide width , and the length of the pumping gate . Our preliminary numerical calculation performed for the simplified model of a voltage-biased VCMA gate (see Fig. 1) have demonstrated that the proposed method of parametric excitation and reception of ultra-short-wavelength magnons is realistic, and can be implemented in experiment to generate phase-modulated magnon signals of sub-micron wavelength with high energy efficiency in the GHz and sub-THz frequency ranges.
