Quantum mechanics is among the most challenging scientific topics and students constantly struggle to master basic concepts. Yet, we are in the midst of a second quantum revolution, which will be responsible for many of the key physical technological advances for the 21st century. The future STEM workforce need to be familiarized with quantum concepts as well as gaining hands-on experience in the instrumentation widely used in emerging technological areas (e.g., nanotechnology and biomedicine). Join us as we share experiences in the teaching of quantum topics at different levels; K-12, technical college, and university (from freshman to senior and graduate student levels). The topics include: - lecture classes and easily understandable and affordable experiments with single and entangled photons; - how to improve students’ learning, especially at large enrollment, and how to evaluate what the students learned; - how to elicit average students’ interest; - training technicians; - K-12 education, outreach activity and public engagement using animations, educational websites, software simulation tools and games devoted to “quantum”. This symposium will comprise of a presider overview, 30-min invited talks, 15-min contributed talks and posters.

Starlink orbits at about 550km, which results in lower latency, in comparison to GEO satellites which orbit around 35,786km. Each satellite features a compact, flat-panel design that minimizes volume, allowing for a dense launch stack to take full advantage of the launch capabilities of SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket. join us to learn more about Starlink Speaker(s): Tim Belfall Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/360280

The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Concordia University and the Industry Applications Society (IAS) chapter in collaboration with the Industrial Electronics Society (IES), Power Electronics Society (PELS), Power & Energy Society (PES) and IAS Concordia University Student Branch chapters in the IEEE Montreal Section cordially invites you to a seminar presented by Dr. Raja V Ramakrishnan, Chief-scientist (controls) at Halla Mechatronics, USA. This presentation gives a review of sensorless motor control drive systems. The present status of such drives in the industry and what challenges does the automotive industry faces implementing sensorless drives in its safety critical components. It then shows how such a drive system helps to develop next generation safety architecture for motor control drives by bringing down the cost but increasing the fault tolerant behaviour. Co-sponsored by: IEEE IAS society and IEEE Montreal Speaker(s): Raja Ramakrishnan Agenda: 3 pm to 3:30 pm -> Refreshments 3:30 pm to 4:30 pm -> Presentation 4:30 pm to 5:30 pm -> Questions and answers Room: 03.309, Bldg: EV, Concordia University SGW Campus, 1455 De Maisonneuve Blvd west, Montréal, Quebec, Canada, H3G 1M8
