IEEE GOLD will be hosting a Panel with distinguished speakers from industry and academia who will speak about the state of green technologies in the automotive sector. In particular, we are interested in discussing topics such as recent technological developments and offerings from the major car manufactures and changes occurring in this sector as concerns surrounding the environment and the price of gasoline escalate. This event will bring together experts in the field for brief presentations and will allow ample time for a panel discussion and networking. Anyone who is interested to learn more about this topic is welcome to attend.
