SoutheastCon 2009 will be held in Atlanta, GA. SoutheastCon 2009 invites prospective authors to submit technical papers on all aspects of engineering, science, and technology of current interest, to the conference.

SoutheastCon is the annual IEEE Region 3 Technical, Professional, and Student Conference.

Attendance and technical program participation from areas outside IEEE Region 3 are also cordially encouraged and welcomed.

Engineers and Scientists Sought for K-12 STEM

The Knoxville Chamber, Knox County Schools, and the Knoxville chapter of the Tennessee Society of Professional Engineers have started a website called Vols4STEM to act as a clearinghouse to link science and engineering professionals with students and educators. The Knoxville Chamber has requested that local technical society members show their interest in K-12 STEM outreach activities by completing their survey. If you complete the survey please enter IEEE in box 1. You can read more about the clearinghouse project in this Knoxville News Sentinel article.

This effort has prompted the IEEE East Tennessee Section to consider what programs we could offer for the Knox County Schools. If you would be interested in helping with this effort, please complete this questionnaire.

East Tennessee Technical Associations Blog Created

Engineers and scientists have a voracious appetite for learning about new technology. Many belong to national or international technical associations which have local sections for members which hold meetings so that they can meet others who have similar interest. There are numerous technical associations and societies in east Tennessee which hold frequent meetings featuring professional speakers. However, unless one scours newspapers and numerous newsletters and websites, it is virtually impossible to find out when and where these meetings are being held.

A website has been created for use by any and all technical associations in east Tennessee to share meeting announcements at eastTNtech.blogspot.com. If your organization would like to draw guests from other groups to your meetings, you can download instructions about how you can post meeting announcements to the East Tennessee Technology Associations Blog (ETTAB) from
