TUTORIALS 3 & 6 ARE CANCELLED!!!!

Wiremold, an AIA/CES Passport Provider, will present a program on wire and cable management solutions entitled Paving the Way with Telecommunications. Understand new design criteria and space/pathway requirements for telecommunications design.  Learn what key questions to ask clients, tenants, and other team members during the design process.  This is a 1.5 hour credit program.

Pass & Seymour will present an educational program on Wiring Devices.  Learn how the criteria used in making electrical device decisions can impact HSW.  This is a 1 hour credit program.

Ortronics will present a coordinating piece on Connectivity and Communications Devices.  Focus of this presentation of the “4th utility” is the physical layer of the LAN, design considerations, and the importance to network performance.  This is a 1.5 hour credit program.

Dr. Jack Cane: Performance testing of web applications. The tutorial/workshop will consist of detailed presentations on the test methodology, trial runs, and (hopefully) active discussion from the participants in the event.

TUTORIALS 3 IS CANCELLED!!!!

Morning: Glenn E. Oliver, Research Engineer, DuPont Microcircuit Materials, presents Introduction to Low Temperature Cofired Ceramic (LTCC) Technology.  As emerging applications demand higher performance and component density than can be accommodated by traditional printed wiring boards, new approaches to electronics packaging are required.  This session will provide an introduction to the electronics packaging challenges faced by today’s designers.

Afternoon:  James Kemerling, Chief Technical Officer, Triad Semiconductor, Inc. will speak on Sensor Interfaces. In this presentation we will discuss the various types of sensors and circuits used to convert their output to a voltage. In addition, we will touch on the requirements of analog-to-digital conversion techniques and address the fundamental issues associated with wireless transmission of sensor data.

Dr. Huseyin Arslan, University of South Florida, presents An overview of the recent trend toward adaptation of the new generations of wireless communication systems.  Adaptive resource management and adaptive transmission and receiver techniques for the evolution of wireless communication systems will be reviewed.

Morning:  VHDL (Very High Speed Integrated Circuit Hardware Description Language)

Afternoon:  Verilog and Applications.  These tutorials will enable the participants to use the VHDL and Verilog platforms  immediately, and efficiently.  Another equally important objective will be to provide an insight about comparing both the VHDL and Verilog platforms, for proper understanding and adoption. 

TUTORIALS 6 IS CANCELLED!!!!

Morning:  Joyce Richman speaks on learning how to interview more effectively, how to be more effective at promoting yourself within your existing organization, and  how to turn negatives into positives.

Afternoon:  Jeri D’Lugin and Robert Payne present a FINANCIAL CHECKUP.   How to really compare salaries?  Then, when you earn money, how to prepare for your financial future?  The 7 myths of investing.  Plus, your own questions answered.

All sessions are subject to a minimum of 10 signups before March 12, 2004. 
If session is canceled, you will be notified, your fees credited to your charge card,
