Message from the Chair Greetings Fellow Members of the IEEE Saint Louis Section,

I hope all is well and everyone is enjoying their summers. We have reached the midway point of our 2009 operating year and I can honestly say I am excited about what we have accomplished so far and for what we will be accomplishing throughout the remainder of our year. We have had two social events, a Distinguished Lecturer presentation done virtually, as well as participated in Engineer’s Week. We have also been supporting our chapters in their program implementation and recruiting efforts. I had the opportunity to attend the Region 5 Meeting and Green Technology Conference held April 17-20th, 2009 in Lubbock, TX. During this meeting, the sections in the region came together to address and discuss the business of the region. IEEE is making strides and plans to influence policies in Washington and be a strong presence in the energy sectors. I was able to interact with other section chairs and exchange ideas and best practices on different programs and initiatives. In addition, I was also able to see schools from our section such as SIUE, SIUC, and MS&T compete in the robotics competition. The Boeing Company was awarded the Outstanding Large Company Award and Jim Leonard accepted on the company’s behalf.

There has been an increased interest from the membership in Professional Development Seminars and Workshops offering PDUs and/or CEUs. Therefore, the theme for September is Professional Excellence. Your leadership team is working to sort out logistics and understand policies and procedures regarding offering these as a service to you, the membership. While we, the leadership, are able to select these seminars, we would much rather prefer your input on what types of seminars that you would be interested in attending. So please send your thoughts, ideas, and comments to [email protected]. We want to make sure we are offering relevant seminars to maximize our participation. I look forward to hearing from you and meeting more of you at our summer social.

Boeing Wins Outstanding Large Company Award from IEEE Region

Jim Leonard (left), Boeing IEEE Company Focal, receives the award plaque from David Pierce, Region 5 Director.


MST Student Selected for 2009 AESS President’s Achievement Award In 2006, after reading an article in SYSTEMS magazine regarding autonomous flight controls by Dr. Balakrishnen from Missouri University of Science and Technology (MS&T) (formerly UMR), Jim Leonard conceived an idea of getting a group of IEEE student branch members at MS&T to create a UAV project. After meeting with the MS&T IEEE Student branch councilor, Dr. “Jag” Sarangapani and then requesting interested students to apply, Dave Erdos stepped up and organized the team.

They purchased a small scale “piper cub” and set out to design the autonomous flight control systems. Major funding was provided by AESS with additional funding from Boeing, the local St. Louis IEEE Section, and Region 5 IEEE. After months of design, lab simulation and flight test, they entered the Australian Outback Challenge. The scope of the contest entailed flight safety documentation, pretest flight demonstrations and finally, demonstrating autonomous take off, search, locating and dropping a bottle of water to Outback Joe. Dave has prepared a detailed article for SYSTEMS magazine and I will stop my story here. Stay tuned. The MS&T Team also has a website: http://aessuav.org. And we are organizing a new team to carry on the competition

The award was presented in the venue of the MS&T Academy of Electrical and Computer Engineering Meeting on 16 April 2009. The inscription reads” Presented to Dave Erdos For His Outstanding Accomplishments which include: (1) Organizing the AESS UAV Team; (2) Directing the UAV System Design; (3) Flight Test the UAV at MS&T; (4) Winning 2nd Place in the “Outback Challenge”. It is signed by Bob Rassa (AESS President), Erv Gangl (AESS Awards Chair) and Jim Leonard (AESS Jr Past President.

Dave is planning to go to Grad school and possibly earn a PhD in EE. He is also active in other areas and was recently recognized as the 2008 Outstanding IEEE Student Member in Region 5 IEEE. This summer he plans to be an intern at Boeing, working at Boeing Field near Seattle, Washington.

The 2009 Spring MOCON was held over a two week period in March (18th thru 27th), 2009. Paul Friemel presented his tutorials: Elecrtical Overcurrent Protection and Advanced Electrical Overcurrent Protection during the first week at the Bussmann labs. This was followed in the second week with three tutorials presented by Dr. Tom Van Doren: Grounding and Shielding Day 1 & 2 and Circuit Board Analysis. These were presented at the UMSL Campus. Dr. Jim Hahn presented: Signal Integrity and Ed Scherry presented: Arc Flash Analysis at the MS&T Graduate Extension center at UMSL. Ken Owens presented: Introduction to TCP/IP Networking and Applications and Advanced Network Implementations at the Savvis Communications bldg.

As is noted above, MOCON had a very good turnout during these very bad economic times. Providing continuing education is one means of keeping our local technical community up to date and employable. This is one of the many benefits provided by IEEE. A preliminary agenda for the upcoming Fall MOCON is shown here: (Note: One of our presenters, Karl Spuhl is planning a one day tutorial entitled “Basic Control Theory”. Please email Jim Leonard ([email protected]) if you would be interested in attending this tutorial. Also, if there are other topics and courses of interest, please send your requests to Jim.

In these uncertain market conditions for technical employees, engineers need to consider how to stand apart from their colleagues and peers in communications. One such possibility is WCET Certification created by the Communications Society. One such case study is included from the March issue of the WCET newsletter and it is contained below.

WCET stands for Wireless Communication Engineering Technologies. With the IEEE WCET certification, professionals will be able to clearly demonstrate their knowledge of wireless communication technologies to employers or change engineering fields as new opportunities arise in the wireless industry.

Vendor-neutral and trans-national in scope, the IEEE WCET certification program's focus is explicitly on the knowledge and on-the-job experience that a practicing wireless communications professional needs to possess in order to pass the WCET exam. Nothing testifies more to the international nature of the program than the breadth of industry participation at all stages of the development process.

Contributions from WCET website. More information is available at http://www.ieee-wcet.org/.
