Activity highlights from this year's award recipients
The IEEE Malaysia Section had a very successful 2021, organizing many events by leveraging the Zoom virtual platform. Eight projects from the IEEE Malaysia Section received IEEE HAC & SIGHT funds during the year. The projects focused on COVID-19 response and pressing community needs such as ‘Bridging Digital Inequalities Amongst the Urban Poor Communities in Malaysia.’ These projects helped to improve government and industrial relations and benefited the student members involved. The Section continuously supported professional and educational activities, including one of Young Professionals (YP) biggest events, the IEEE Five minutes FYP (5MFYP) with participants from all universities in Malaysia. To promote all its activities, the IEEE Malaysia Section updated its website with 350+ pieces of new content and in 2021 the website had close to a million hits!
The IEEE Columbus Section thrived during 2021, conducting several technical, professional, and non-technical events. The most active technical chapter was PES (PE31) with a high number of technical events, beneficial to the technical growth of the IEEE members. The Section had projects in community service that projected great visibility to IEEE. The Section also collaborated with other professional societies to bring cross series of technical programs to aid in obtaining Continuing Professional Development hours, necessary in maintaining the Professional Engineering licensure. In addition, YP and WIE Professional Networking events were conducted as they are beneficial in retaining members. Events are extended to students, which foster professional, and students' mentorship. Students appreciate the guidance they received from professional members and satisfies their sense of importance. Go Columbus Section!
The IEEE Galveston Bay Section provided during 2021 outstanding support to the objectives of IEEE and outstanding service to its members despite the local Covid-19 restrictions. The Section and its OUs were successful in providing events that were innovative and in diversified technical areas. The Section’s long-range planning and membership feedback allowed distinguished speakers from IEEE Societies and Councils to provide a great supplement to the events with their expert presentations. ‘Nano Ultrasonic Sensors for Healthcare’ and ‘Virtual Media Technology for the Post-Covid-19 Era’ are some examples. Educational emphasis was key to the selection of the Section's events/projects, helping engineers/scientists enhance their leadership skills while also promoting innovative, futuristic, and trending technologies such as Advanced Biometric Techniques, and Spacecraft Configuration, Assembly. Congratulations!!
