Huntsville EMC Wins Prestigious Award

Congratulations to the IEEE Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Huntsville Chapter!  They have been selected from among all EMC chapters worldwide as the recipient of the Most Improved Chapter Award from the international IEEE EMC Society.  This award signifies outstanding improvement in membership services and establishing goodwill for the EMC Society.  It was presented to the EMC Huntsville Society Chair, Doug Parker, at the International EMC Symposium in Austin, Texas in August of this year.
Under the leadership of Doug and many other local volunteers, the Huntsville EMC Chapter has made a huge impact in the local technical community.  Each year, they host frequent technical meetings that are free of charge and open to everyone in the community.  EMC brings renowned IEEE Distinguished Lecturers to share their technical knowledge in training sessions and hosts a bi-annual tabletop event that links industry, academia and professionals in the EMC discipline.
Our EMC Society also supports other local organizations and events.  This year, they reached out to engineering students by supporting IEEE UAH Student Branch events, speaking to the UAH engineering students, and purchasing EMC technical books as a donation to the UAH library.  They donated heavily to the HATS STEDTRAIN grant, a program that links local K-12 school projects with much needed funding.  They also co-sponsored the IEEE 125th Anniversary Celebration at the United States Space and Rocket Center.
The IEEE Huntsville EMC Society was chartered in 2006, and under the care of its first Chair, Glenn Shelby, it has consistently provided outstanding technical events to the community.  Through the past several years, the EMC Society has continued to gain momentum.  Let’s all congratulate Doug and the other volunteers Huntsville’s IEEE EMC Society on this lucrative award.

Chair's Corner

The month of March has been very busy for the Huntsville Section.  We have had several educational activities, a special announcment from the EMC Society, and even more on the horizon.

The North Alabama Science and Engineering Fair was hosted at the UAH Shelby Center on March 4-6.  Frank Parris and I judged the projects and were blown away by the ingenuity of our regional middle school and high school kids.  The IEEE Huntsville Section granted special awards for some of the most impressive projects.   On March 26th, Jim Covington, Willie Fitzpatrick, Eric Grigorian, Jim Kennedy, and Bob Robinson judged the Northwest Alabama Council for Technology in Education (ACTE) team programming category.  Check out Frank’s articles about ACTE and NARSEF to find out who the winners were.

Our own UAH Student Branch participated in SoutheastCon 2009 in Atlanta, Georgia.  Bob Robinson and I both attended, and we participated in some great sessions hosted by IEEE Region 3, which focused on increasing the benefits of membership, solving problems in K-12 education and assisting our members in career development.

We are very excited to announce that IEEE’s national EMC Society plans to host its annual Board of Directors meeting here in Huntsville in November of 2009.  Hats off to Huntsville’s EMC Society for doing an excellent job all around, and showing off our local talent.  Doug’s article will tell you more about this event.

In the next issue of the LiveWire, look for a review of the Alabama Science and Engineering Fair (ASEF), held on Friday, April 3rd.  Also, 125th Anniversary of IEEE is coming up on May 13th.  The Huntsville Section plans to host a family oriented event that will feature some local robotics talent that will be open to the public for everyone to enjoy.  More details are coming soon, so keep your eyes and ears open!
