TryEngineering Tuesday Webinars

This webinar series helps students to explore, engage, and get inspired about STEM fields.  In this section, we are highlighting the ComSoc sponsored webinars.

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.
