News and Resources for Members of the IEEE Signal Processing Society

Education & Resources

Registration is now open for IEEEXtreme 9.0, scheduled for 24 October 2015. IEEEXtreme is a global challenge in which teams of IEEE Student members, supported by an IEEE Student Branch, advised and proctored by an IEEE member, compete in a 24-hour time span against each other to solve a set of programming problems. The registration deadline is 12 October.

Although IEEE Collabratec has been freely available for over six months, the formal launch and marketing began on 21 September. You may have already started to see messaging within IEEE communication vehicles such as Society newsletters, membership emails, ieee.org, Spectrum advertising, and various online social mediums outside of IEEE.

You may have already had a chance to connect and collaborate with IEEE members and technology professionals on IEEE Collabratec and are aware of its benefits. Below are some highlights:

During the last couple of months a few new Signal Processing and Machine Learning contests were initiated. Some of the ongoing ones with a strong relation to Signal Processing include a Kaggle contest for predicting hand movements from EEG data and one on forecasting quote prices of tubes in construction engineering.

Follow the links on the right side of this page to view more news around IEEE. This month's featured IEEE News source is IEEE Smart Grid Newsletter. The August edition of the IEEE Smart Grid Newsletter is live and covers microgrid and smart grid technology developments in Taiwan Region, and Japan.

As a special benefit to IEEE members for the month of August, IEEE-USA will offer “Work-Life Balance -- Book 2,” by Peggy Hutcheson. In “Book 1,” Hutcheson introduced some of the major issues that lead to varying degrees of balance in a person's sense of satisfaction in life. In “Book 2,” she explores work-life balance, with regard to career stages -- young professional, mid-career, and late career. Available 1 August to 15 September.

There once was a time when traveling abroad seemed an exotic experience, suited for the heads of business or well-to-do families on vacation. Now traveling abroad is a way of the world. Professionals, students and families often travel several times a year for business and pleasure. As common as international travel is, many still do not understand the insurance coverages needed in order to be protected.

IEEE Women in Engineering (WIE) is pleased to announce some exciting upcoming events and opportunities:

WIE Live Chat Series

Upcoming live chats include:

  • “Detour: Coping When Life Doesn’t Go According to Plan,” presented by Courtney Clark - Tuesday, 18 August 2015, 10:00 a.m. ET
  • “How do you motivate a person (or a team) to do something hard?” presented by Tara Chklovski - Wednesday, 26 August 2015, 1:00 p.m. ET

International Leadership Conference

In early July, the Volunteer Leadership Training Program (VOLT) for 2015 was announced, and includes two tracks.

Track 1 covers the foundational knowledge of the IEEE organization. These materials were made available to all IEEE volunteers through the IEEE Center for Leadership Excellence (CLE) website.

Access Track 1 courses (Log in with your IEEE Account and choose the “Volunteer Leadership Training Pre-Requisite” category to begin)

During the last couple of months, a number of machine learning and signal processing contests have recently finished and the final rankings have been announced. Some of those recently concluded ones include:

As a special benefit to IEEE members for the month of June, IEEE-USA will offer “Would Have Liked to Know That! -- Book 1: Selling Yourself at Work” -- by Maura Schreier-Fleming. “Selling Yourself at Work” focuses on strategies for engineers to build a successful career by implementing some of the successful strategies sales professionals use. The latter are masters of communication and work effectively with others to get the results they want. Available 1 June to 15 July.
