Strategies for Using IEEE Xplore

Wednesday 9 am, Roberts Hall 101

If you are an IEEE member, an engineering student, graduate student in technology, even a non-engineering student interested in technology, you know how knowledgeable research skills will contribute to your success. The Montana State University community has access to the IEEE Xplore, a digital library providing full text access to more than three million IEEE documents. Learn how to use IEEE Xplore in a "best practices" manner. This one hour talk and demo will cover all the latest features and insider tips when searching IEEE Xplore. Plus, learn what IEEE Xplore can do that Google can't!

Content Directions at the IEEE

Wednesday 12 noon, Roberts Hall 101

Technology is increasingly becoming an interdisciplinary field, as traditional silos give way to multidisciplinary analysis and solutions. In order to keep pace with rapid change, the IEEE has expanded its coverage of new and emerging technologies based on its core focus of Electrical Engineering, Electronics, and Computer Science.

Hear from the following three individuals.

Federico Faggin

Developer of the Self-Aligned MOS

Silicon Gate Technology, which enabled

the creation of semiconductor memories

and microprocessors. In 1971 Mr. Faggin

led the team that designed and co-invented

the world's first microprocessor, the Intel 4004.

Jim Lotimer will speak about his

pioneering work with wireless animal

tracking. Jim is President & CEO Lotek

Wireless which supplies scientists with products

that enable the scientific study of over 1000

species in every ocean, on all continents.

George Plosker will briefly cover the human

side of the IEEE's 127 year history. IEEE founders,

include Bell, Edison, and Marconi. The IEEE is the

world’s largest professional association dedicated

to advancing technological innovation and

excellence for the benefit of humanity. IEEE has

more than 400,000 members in more than 160

countries.
