IEEE IMS 2015

20150519_090013

Once again, we had a booth at the IEEE MTT International Microwave Symposium, this time around in Phoenix, Arizona. As always, we were showing off the Microwaves101.com website, this time with new, responsive design.  As you can see, we had laptops and iPads and phones for demos, and we even gave away an iPad mini.

In a new twist, it was also Red Nose Day.  The idea here is to have a bit of fun and silliness and donate to help fund organizations that help children around the world.  Here’s a few of our friends from the University of Hawaii getting into the spirit!

She also foresaw the capability of computers to go beyond mere calculating or number-crunching while others, including Babbage… Continue Reading

Wow, Engineer’s Week (February 15 – 21, 2009) snuck right up on me this year! Celebrating engineering in all its forms, there will be events all around the U.S. Here in Tucson, I’ll be participating in Mall Day once again for the IEEE. I somehow ended up as custodian of our section’s Jacob’s Ladder: There… Continue Reading
