IEEE Phoenix Computer Chapter

In an age of automated resume scanning and virtual interviews, how does one get past the gatekeepers to make their case? Amir Savar helps crack the code. He contends that one can treat the entire process like a logic puzzle and hack the interview process. He will provide a high-level overview that includes: How to read and interpret a job posting How to determine if this is the correct job How to prepare one's resume for the posted position How to interview to get the dream job While this presentation is primarily aimed at computer professionals, it would be beneficial to all technical people looking for a job. Amir, the founder and CEO of Skilled Inc., is a recruiter by trade with experience building software engineering teams. Skilled Inc. is a community of experts who believe in interview feedback for everyone. Our mentors represent the world's best talent in engineering, business, design and they share their expertise here on Skilled as interviewers and educators.

Presentation: Mark Goldstein, President of International Research Center will explore the next-generation wireless landscape with its underlying emerging technologies, protocols and standards, market trends, and opportunities in a deep dive presentation covering all of today's wireless essentials. New spectrum and technologies driven by a rapidly evolving application landscape will be served up in innovative ways through 5G/6G mobile, Wi-Fi 6E, CBRS, White Space, mmWave, new generations of GEO and LEO satellite, and varieties of Low-Power Wide-Area Networks (LPWAN) connecting billions of new Internet of Things (IoT) sensors and devices spread around smart spaces and enabling autonomous transportation. Come and explore emerging wireless advances, roadblocks, and operational challenges bringing you the insight and strategies to leverage emerging wireless opportunities. Speaker: Mark Goldstein is President of International Research Center (http://www.researchedge.com/), providing consulting, custom research, and strategic support for business, legal and public policy clients across a variety of disciplines and arenas since 1992. IRC concentrates on clients' needs in the complex worlds of broadband/wireless, IoT/smart everything, autonomous vehicles/MaaS, blockchain/fintech, biotechnology, sustainability, economic development, and other domains by harnessing global information resources for informed decision making. Mark is a technophile and technology visionary, activist, advisor, and entrepreneur with extensive experience and connections throughout myriad technology sectors. He is involved with a number of policy, economic development, professional, and trade groups, and a frequent speaker and trainer. Mark previously worked for 18 years in electronic and computer engineering including 12 years managing engineering teams and projects for Medtronic, a Fortune 500 biomedical device manufacturer. And he worked in the mid-seventies for MicroAge in R&D at the beginning of the personal computer revolution.

Undergraduate Research at ASU’s Polytechnic Campus ASU’s Polytechnic campus is home to the Bachelor of Science in engineering program. Dr. Deana Delp will share some of the undergraduate research and projects happening in the core freshman and sophomore level courses in the engineering program, as well as FURI (Fulton Undergraduate Research Initiative) research. The projects and research implement Arduinos, Matlab, and Simulink while utilizing insight from the end-user.   About the Speaker: Deana Delp is a lecturer at Arizona State University in the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering. She has a Ph.D. in electrical engineering with an emphasis in systems and control from ASU. After receiving her degree, she taught for several semesters in the electrical engineering department at ASU. She worked full-time for over 5 years as a research and development product engineer at a small software company in Tempe, Arizona. She developed new intelligent processing projects and statistical algorithms. Some of her research topics included developing intelligent processing algorithms for large datasets based on multidimensional, geographical, and image processing techniques, and statistical algorithms for the detection of outliers in multidimensional and massive datasets. She also wrote specifications based on her research findings to transition these developments into commercial products. She also worked for General Dynamics, Mission Systems and volunteered for the IEEE Computational Intelligence Society (CIS) Pre-College Education Subcommittee. She is a senior member of IEEE and the chair of the IEEE CIS Continuing Education Subcommittee.
