IEEE Savannah Section Chair Report for March 2010 Region 3 Meeting
16 March 2010
 
We have no issues requiring Region 3 attention at this time.

Section Activities: The Savannah Section of IEEE had a full calendar in 2009
and we look forward to our 2010 meetings and events.

Our next meeting is this Thursday, March 18th at the Georgia Tech Savannah
campus. The topic will be "Semiconducting III-nitride nanowires: FETs, LEDs,
and lasers." The presenter will be Dr. Benjamin Klein from Georgia Tech
Savannah.

Our February 2010 meeting was held in conjunction with the Savannah E-Week
Technical Training Conference on February 16 at Armstrong Center. This year's
theme was "Staying Alive: Sustaining, Innovating & Managing."

Last November we had an excellent presentation at Armstrong Atlantic State
University by Tom Croft. The topic was An Alternative Theory of Global
Warming.

Our October 2009 meeting was in conjunction with the Area 3 Meeting and Picnic
on October 17 at the Museum of Aviation Flight and Technology Center at Robins
Air Force. We joined the Atlanta Section, Central Georgia Section, and the
Atlanta Life Members Group for the excellent tour and festivities.

Our September 2009 meeting was at Georgia Southern University. We had a
double-header with Dr. Rios-Gutierrez and his students giving a presentation
on their robot entries at the SECON and the phenomenal growth of their student
section. Followed by a tour of Dr. Soloiu's Bio-Fuel Laboratory.

As you can see, we've been fortunate to rotate our meetings throughout the
area, including the region's various universities. Hosting at least some of
our Section meetings on University campuses has definitely led to an increase
in Student member participation.

As always, you are always welcome to attend one of our Section meetings.
