PFA is an initial disaster response intervention with the goal to promote safety, stabilize survivors of disasters and connect individuals to help and resources. PFA is delivered to affected individuals by mental health professionals and other first responders. The purpose of PFA is to assess the immediate concerns and needs of an individual in the aftermath of a disaster, and not to provide on-site therapy.

Engineers traditionally use deterministic modeling in their tasks, but challenges for developing and optimizing products and processes inspire us to venture beyond deterministic to probabilistic or stochastic modeling. The melding of engineering modeling with probabilistic thinking empowers engineers to develop confidence for ourselves, our customers and regulatory agencies that our products are likely to be successful and that we will flawlessly meet or exceed expectations over a comprehensive range of use conditions. Predictive engineering starts from measurable system level requirements, exploration and documentation of use conditions, and expanding on deterministic models with probabilistic modeling using Monte Carlo Simulation or Bayesian Networks to optimize the design and process. Probabilistic and stochastic modeling has provided competitive advantages for enterprises, for products, and for both experienced engineers and engineers early in their careers. Event is organized by IEEE Hawaii YP, IAS, and WIE and co-hosted with several other organizations. Depending on the level of interest in this event, a follow on series with Six Sigma certification is possible. Speaker(s): Eric Maass, PhD Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/382000

2024 IEEE Rising Stars Conference team presents THE RED DWARF STAR VIRTUAL SERIES How to Maximize Your Rising Stars Experience Scott Tamashiro & Elizabeth Farkas Red Dwarf stars are the smallest and emerging in the universe. The Red Dwarf events represent the formation and growth of our IEEE Rising Stars Conference. The 2024 IEEE Rising Stars Conference team will be hosting a series of monthly events to show you a glimpse of what we are preparing for the conference. We'll be sharing some professional development and technical content throughout this series, as well as some of the networking experience. Join us on a series of informative and engaging events as we prepare for our large stage at the 2024 IEEE Rising Stars Conference, January 5-7, in Las Vegas at the Tropicana Hotel. Visit our website at: https://ieee-risingstars.org/ Scott Tamashiro, Chair of the 2024 IEEE Rising Stars Conference Elizabeth Farkas, Vice Chair of the 2024 IEEE Rising Stars Conference Description: You’ve made your commitment. You’re taking time off and making travel plans. So how do you get the most out of your IEEE Rising Stars conference experience? This Red Dwarf session will be interactive in knowing more about the workshops, programs, activities, and networking you will encounter. Can I bring a resume? Can I talk with attendees, sponsors, or speakers ahead of time? What should I wear? These and more questions will be discussed.
