Vodopia, Chair, IEEE Long Island Section My first month as IEEE Long Island Section Chair appears to have come and gone at hyper speed, where my guess is that February, with 3 fewer days, likely will pass at a similarly perceived rate. At any rate, February 9th is the start of Engineers Week, where the Engineers Joint Committee of Long Island is hosting the famed “Engineers Week Seminar Series” on Thursday, February 12, 2015, at the Holiday Inn in Plainview. Please see the announcement in this edition of Pulse or review the program at the link in our Calendar (IEEE.LI). Turning now to our 2015 Awards Banquet. IEEE Long Island is hosting same on Thursday, March 19, 2015 at The Inn At Fox Hollow in Woodbury, which served us pretty well in 2013 and 2014. Our keynote speaker this year is Dr. Yacov Shamash, the Vice President for Economic Development and Dean of Stony Brook University’s College of Engineering and Applied Sciences.
