A collection of helpful information such as webinar recordings, websites, guidance for activities and working with children, and program templates and examples to support Pre-University STEM education.
The TryEngineering.org/comsoc web page provides easy access to pre-university resources that focus on communications and networking technologies. To help better navigate all of the resources that ComSoc has to offer for Pre-University STEM education, TryEngineering has launched this web page to help students, teachers, parents and volunteers find all of the Tryengineering telecommunications-themed resources in a one stop shop.
- Wi-Fi and IEEE 802.11 Standard
-
In this webinar from 18 October 2022, Dr. Shahrnaz Azizi, Principal Engineer in the Connected System Lab at Intel Corporation, shared her work with IEEE 802.11 Standard, which is particular to the specifications set for Wi-Fi. As wireless communications emerge and evolve, the standards to which these technologies will be held will also need to evolve.
- The Metaverse: How Communications Engineering is Shaping Our Future
-
In this webinar from July 2022, Dr. Frank Fitzek, Professor and head of the “Deutsche Telekom Chair of Communication Networks” at TU Dresden discussed the potential of the Metaverse for future use cases beyond pure advertising. Applications such as immersive learning or interaction with cyber physical systems are highly interesting but require new technologies such as sensors and actuators to interact in the virtual world.
- Extended Reality and 5G TryEngineering Tuesday Webinar PLUS Resources
-
In this webinar from April 2022, Dr. Lola Awoniyi-Oteri, Principal Systems Research & Development Engineer within the Qualcomm Research organization shared her work in extended reality and 5G, discussing how extended reality (Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality) works and how 5G supports these applications.
- 5G TryEngineering Tuesday Recording PLUS Supporting Resources
-
In this webinar from November 2021, Tao Han an Associate Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) and an IEEE Senior Member, shared his work in 5G systems and how you can help students explore, engage, and get inspired about the different technologies that allow for 5G to exist!
