Subject: Region 3 Section Report

Region 3 & FL Council Meeting
March 26-28, 1999
Florida West Coast Section Report
Al Rosenheck FWCS Chairman

1-Florida West Coast Section 1999 Officers were elected as follows:
Al Rosenheck Chair
Quang Tang Vice Chair
Jules Joslow Secretary
Betty Fritz
An awards banquet was held in March to honor the incoming and outgoing
officers. In accordance with our section tradition awards were also made to
three outstanding Tampa Bay Area science educators.

2-In December the Admissions and Advancements Committee came to Tampa and
enlisted the aid of the FWCS to review IEEE upgrades to senior member
applications. A long but very interesting day.

3-In Feb. we celebrated engineers week in style sponsoring six meetings during
the month. There was  something for everyone from on-line investing with a
live demo to a forum on wireless microwave technology with distinguished
panelists.  As usual an annual highlight was the Engineers Week banquet held
in conjunction with 17 engineering societies from the Tampa Bay area where we
honored Engineering colleagues and students for their achievements. With pleny
of good food and drink and an outstanding speaker from NASA, e-week was a
success.

3-Aside from engineers week meetings, our societies have put on many
outstanding activities. In Jan., we had meetings on operations at McDill Air
Force Base, developments in Microturbines, and Broadband wireless Access
Standards. February was busy with e-week (or e-month maybe) activities. In
March we held our Awards banquet, a meeting on Wacky Patents, and a USF alumni
Panel Session/Forum to help graduating students address questions to panel
members about the real world.

Look forward to see you all at SECon'99 
Regards, Al
