Paul Berger, PhD 01 October 8pm EST / 7 pm CST

On this celebratory IEEE Day, let us rejoice in the combined IEEE worldwide activities of 39 technical societies  and 7 interdisciplinary councils on one side of the IEEE coin, balanced with local sections and student chapters, bringing a physical presence of IEEE to local communities. By the way, one could argue that IEEE also has a 3rd leg into humanitarian activities. 

These S/C span a great swathe from hardware to software, including electronic devices, solar/wind energy production, power transmission, control theory, image compression, signal processing, and computer architecture. One could say this moves from applied physics to applied math.

However, this session drills down to predominantly 1 of these societies, the electron device society, where the field of semiconductor materials and devices thrives.

So, with the USA's Chips and Science Act to onshore semiconductor chip manufacturing, what does this mean to you and your communities. First, the Chips portion supports semiconductor companies to build or expand domestic chip production. The Science portion aims to perform workforce development to populate those factories. 

Where will this new workforce come from and what do you need to do to prepare for your future? This talk aims to take a critical look at the opportunities before you in the semiconductor industry. 

With time permitting and audience interest, some discussion in humanitarian roles IEEE plays will also be discussed.
