NEC 2026 Changes Workshop
[] Early registration and discounted pricing ends at 11:59 PM on March 29th. Registration and payment for this workshop must be completed before 11:59 PM Sunday April 5, 2026 to ensure you will have the class materials in time for the workshop. Friday April 10, 2026 is the final day for registering, but without workshop materials. This two-day workshop will take a deep dive into NEC 2026 National Electrical Code changes. The NEC changes will be reviewed focusing on major areas of the power distribution systems which are affected by the latest changes rather than by the typical Article by Article, Section by Section methods. Examples will be worked through as a class to understand how these NEC changes will change how power distribution systems are engineered. This Workshop is intended for Electrical Designers, Estimators, and Field Engineers, and is highly recommended as a review supplement for those preparing to take the Electrical P.E. exam. In addition, there will be exhibits by industry manufacturers and suppliers. Attendees are advised to bring a laptop or notebook. Power and limited WIFI will be available. Upon completion of the workshop, participants will receive a PDH certificate for sixteen hours. The workshop fee includes breakfast tacos, breakfast beverages, break refreshments, and a copy of the 2026 NEC Handbook. Registration must be completed by Sunday, 4/05/2026 to ensure we will have the class materials in time for the workshop. Friday, 4/10/2026 is the final day for registering online. Walk-ins will be accepted but must have a check for the full amount made out to IEEE-CTS.

Voltage Ride Through (VRT) in Modern Power Systems
Graduate Seminar on Voltage Ride Through (VRT) in Modern Power Systems. Speaker: Mr. Bashar Ibrahim (Siemens) Date: Monday, April 13 Time: 5:30 PM Location: Room 117 (In-Person) This seminar will present the concept of Voltage Ride Through (VRT), a critical requirement in modern power systems to ensure grid stability during voltage disturbances. The lecture will cover real-world applications, grid code requirements (e.g., ERCOT), and the role of reactive power support in maintaining system reliability, especially with the increasing penetration of renewable energy sources.

Ultra-Wideband (UWB) as a Ubiquitous Technology: System architectures, sensing, connectivity, and emerging applications.
In recent years, there has been a significant amount of research and development efforts, both in academia and industry, on technologies that help build a connected world. Quite a few of the new applications being targeted need accurate positioning, or location-awareness. One cutting-edge wireless technology, which is optimized for secure micro-location-based applications, and thereby set out to play a critical role in enabling a myriad of new or enhanced applications that require highly accurate location and distance sensing, is the Ultra-WideBand (UWB) technology. UWB is an IEEE 802.15.4a/z standard technology optimized for secure micro-location-based applications. Unlike other radio frequency technologies, UWB was specifically designed to enable precise, secure, real-time measurement of location, distance, and direction, while concurrently supporting two-way communication. There have also been significant efforts on defining a standard that would make UWB robust and immune to various forms of interference, assuring a high level of reliability. The presentation will focus on the key differentiating aspects of the technology, key topologies of usage and applications, and recent and upcoming developments in the IEEE and industry standards.

How to Build an 8-Core Hyperthreaded Monster Computer on a Budget
How to Build an 8-Core Hyperthreaded Monster Computer on a Budget It is hard to find a computer exactly the way that one wants and needs just sitting on the shelf in a store. Some companies offer custom made ones but with a price to match. Additionally, no one source has all of the things that one would want. Quality becomes another issue as most people shop with price as a major controlling factor so companies are parsimonious in procuring the components. Dr Morantz has combined his Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Mathematics, and good common sense to build an 8-core hyperthreaded monster computer with strong performance and reliability while working within a financial budget to fits his own needs and desires. This presentation covers this project from design phase to completion. Advantages and disadvantages will be discussed along with sourcing and assembly tips. This whole project took several months and has been very rewarding, both in having the computer that is needed and wanted, and being a learning process. Much knowledge and experience was gained with this project. Dr Morantz will go through the steps explaining what he did and why.

Building Secure Code with LLMs: A Hands-On Prompt-to-Verification Workflow
Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly used by developers and students to generate code, offering significant gains in productivity and accessibility. However, LLM-generated code often introduces subtle yet critical security vulnerabilities, particularly in domains such as cryptography and secure software development. This webinar presents a practical and systematic approach to secure code generation using LLMs, focusing on transforming raw model outputs into verifiably safe implementations. The session introduces a structured workflow, Prompt → Harden → Verify, that guides participants through crafting security-aware prompts with explicit constraints, enforcing correctness through unit testing, and applying lightweight automated security checks prior to deployment. Through hands-on demonstrations, attendees will learn how to integrate secure coding practices directly into the LLM-assisted development pipeline. By the end of the webinar, participants will gain a repeatable methodology for reducing vulnerabilities in AI-generated code, along with ready-to-use templates and a security validation checklist. This work aims to bridge the gap between AI-assisted programming and secure software engineering, enabling practitioners to harness LLM capabilities while maintaining strong security guarantees.

What Makes Green RF Electronics: Advanced Materials, Packaging, and Emerging Applications
The electronics industry produces non-negligible emissions and e-waste, and is a major consumer of critical raw materials (CRMs), which could hinder its growth to deliver our digital aspirations. I will introduce a life cycle assessment (LCA)-driven approach to electronics design, showing how to quantify the true environmental footprint as well as methods to design electronics for environmental sustainability and supply chain resilience. Looking at the impact of semiconductor devices and specifically RFICs, methods for circularity through recycling and re-use will be introduced, identifying trade-offs in reliability, performance, and ease of recycling. Fully biodegradable RF package assemblies with high-performance transmission beyond 120 GHz will be showcased, along with their ability to enable a circular economy for RFICs, without the use of traditional bonding approaches. Finally, emerging applications in RF-based sensing will be introduced, showing how microwave electronics could reduce the complexity of sensing interfaces.

Who can attend: Anyone interested in seeing what the 10 teams selected to compete have built over the past two weeks! Description: What is Techathon? Techathon is a 2-week long hardware hackathon hosted by IEEE UT. At the end of the hackathon, 10 teams of undergraduate engineering students will be presenting their projects to industry professionals (judges) on Demo Day. Judges will evaluate each project presentation and award teams with overall placements + bonus awards. The objective of Techathon is to encourage participants to become more comfortable with hardware and embedded systems-related skills. They will also have the chance to challenge themselves creatively with a project of their own making.
