			<description><![CDATA[The first several years of work after graduation can provide valuable experience, direction, and contacts that will be used throughout your career. As such, experienced engineers advise new graduates to carefully navigate their early careers by aiming for jobs that will provide valuable experience well aligned with their long-term interests rather than simply pursuing money or prestige.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[On 19 September 2009, I attended the Region 7, IEEE Canada Student Conference held in suburbs of Toronto, Ontario. This conference, attended by Student Branch leaders from various universities in Canada (ranging from University of British Columbia in the west to Memorial University of Newfoundland in the east) was a day-and-a-half of talks, discussions, an ethics competition, and branch leadership training. IEEE student leaders attending this conference learned about the IEEE organization worldwide, heard from the vice president of the Member and Geographic Activities, discussed SPAC/SPAA event organizations, and had some fun.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[At first glance, it doesn't appear that a framework constructed a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away is the ideal model for a mentoring program. Particularly when that model's enduring image includes a gifted boy who is accepted into an apprenticeship in a galactic peacekeeping order, seduced by evil, commits mass genocide, and causes the fall of the Galactic Republic. After all, it's hard to retain volunteers when you have Dark Lords of the Sith using the Force to crush the windpipes of colleagues.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[You worked hard the past few years and finally graduated. You landed a job and picked out where you are going to live. Everything has been planned out and what you've missed you'll figure out after you have moved. If you're like me when I graduated, then you'll likely be surprised at how your life is about to change. Graduation from college is a life-changing event, like going to college for the first time, getting married, and having kids. You'll find many resources to help you, and the IEEE can be one of those resources.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[The doctoral education process has typically brought about many misconceptions regarding the practicality of the Ph.D. degree. The Ph.D., by definition, requires mastery of a specific subject and expansion of the existing body of knowledge. Many professionals believe this small scope of research and contribution is far less practical for the upcoming engineer as compared to four equivalent years in practice. It is believed that Ph.D. graduates are only suitable candidates for academia and research. However, beyond the narrow-scoped dissertation, the doctoral education teaches desirable practical skills for the practicing engineer that are not emphasized in either the tightly packed undergraduate program or the hectic under-staffed corporate world.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[The purpose of a project report is to convey adequate information to the reader about how the tasks were implemented, the results, and what knowledge was gained by a student. It is an important aspect of the final year project since it is the only official document the student submits together with the developed device; it could even be the only document submitted to the department if the student has carried out an analysis work or study. It is imperative that students attach due importance to this aspect of the final year project, as a beautiful idea poorly packaged and presented by a student may not arouse the interest of the reader/supervisor and could lead to lower marks.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[This article aims to introduce the reader to biology-inspired design, commonly referred to as biomimetic design or biomimicry; the study and imitation of nature's methods, mechanisms, and processes to solve human problems. Furthermore, biology-inspired design includes mimicry at many levels. We will not not discuss biosensors, devices that use specific biochemical reactions mediated by isolated substances to detect chemical compounds. Rather, the focus is on imitating nature by electrical and mechanical means without the incorporation of biological elements.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Are we headed toward a global energy crisis? Absolutely! I think the better question is what form will the crisis come in: skyrocketing natural gas and oil prices? Generation shortfalls and siting issues for transmission and distribution systems? Emissions regulations forcing the shutdown of conventional fossil plants, or more likely, huge price spikes? Frequent transmission and distribution system failures leading to more blackouts? Unfortunately, all are likely scenarios in the near future, and many power engineers know all too well the inability of regulations and energy policies to control markets that are complex and based on technologies and concepts that began over 100 years ago. The intelligent grid that all power engineers dream about will take a long time to design and build, not to mention the cost. Additionally, the current popular fossil fuels used for electric power generation are subject to varying and increasing market risks.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Network-attached storage (NAS) and storage area network (SAN) are the enterprise storage architectures that are commonly deployed in data centers. However, as storage demands escalate over time, none of these storage networks support aggressive concurrency and per-server throughput requirements for the applications on highly scalable computing clusters. In recent times, efforts have been set to incorporate the strengths of existing storage architectures into a unique framework that accomplished the performance, scalability, manageability, and a high level of data security. The approach has led to the design of novel storage architecture that support next generation object-based storage technology.]]></description>

A remaining key issue is to create a secure human infrastructure. Building up a new research team with talented students and state-of-the-art facilities and establishing cooperation with different mainstream Universities and Companies have become necessary to accelerate the local IC R&amp;D.]]></description>

			<link><![CDATA[http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpls/abs_all.jsp?isnumber=5310128&arnumber=5310145]]></link>
			<description><![CDATA[Very few technologies have had as much impact on the trajectory of evolution of wireless communication systems as multiple input multiple output (MIMO) systems. MIMO systems have already been employed in the existing 802.11n and 802.16e standards resulting in a huge leap in their achievable rates. A relatively recent idea of extending the benefits of MIMO systems to multi-user scenarios seems promising in the context of achieving high data rates envisioned for future cellular standards after 3G. Although substantial research has been done on the theoretical front, recent focus is on making multi-user MIMO (MU-MIMO) practically realizable. It offers an enormous scope for further research in the coming years. As in the case of any evolving technology in communication systems, the literature concerning MU-MIMO systems involves complex mathematical analysis, making it difficult for an ordinary reader to comprehend. This article aims at giving an insight into MU-MIMO systems---its concept, fundamentals, and trends including an overview of important research results. It is intended at giving a good start to amateurs interested in being part of the community that shapes the future of wireless systems.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Making a global impact had been the talk of Ph.D. students Richard Gaster and Drew Hall since they first began working in Prof. Shan Wang's laboratory at Stanford University. However, building the motivation and making the time to turn theoretical dreaming into a real working product was quite challenging. After learning about the inaugural IEEE Presidents' Change the World Competition, the duo was inspired to turn one of their ideas into reality. Their entry, NanoLab: A Hand-Held Diagnostic Laboratory, was selected as the winner of the US$10,000 IEEE Student Humanitarian Supreme Prize, the top award in the competition.]]></description>
