Each year the IEEE Albuquerque Section, in collaboration with the UNM Sigma Xi Chapter, recognizes the efforts of its membership to improve the organization and bring merit to our profession.

In previous years, the awards have been presented during the annual banquet. This year, we did not have a banquet in observance of the health care order in place in New Mexico but we followed the award selection process and we had three awards that were delivered to the awardees by our activities coordinator, Ray Byrne.

We hope that we can resume our annual banquet in 2021 and we will post any news as soon as we progress on our planning.

Congratulations to all the awardees for their hard work and dedication:

•Outstanding Young Engineer Award: Brian Pierre – “for the development of algorithms and software tools to co-optimize grid resilience and reliability”, nominated by Ray Byrne

•Outstanding Engineering Educator Award: Prof. Ali Bidram – “for outstanding contributions in education, engineering, and research in Smart Grid power engineering”, nominated separately by Matthew Reno and Edl Schamiloglu

•Outstanding Graduate Engineering Award: Georgios Fragkos – “for outstanding academic performance in the field of Computing and Communications”, nominated by Prof. Eirini Eleni Tsiropoulou

Thank you,

This post is directed at all our members:

New Space New Mexico is partnering with STEM Boomerang to hold a Space Industry Virtual Career Fair to highlight space opportunities in the state.

“New Space New Mexico has an industry group of over 80 space companies working in New Mexico that we reach out to and we are setting up some connector-type functions where the companies can let us know when they have opportunities and we will continue to reach out to the workforce that we’re starting to get to with this forum,” added Deraad.
The virtual job fair will be happening April 30 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. You can inquire about registration by emailing info@newspacenm.org.

Here is the link to the original announcement.

Thank you Mike Jackovich for finding this information.

Dear Albuquerque student members,

Given the unprecedented circumstances with the COVID-19 situation, the Albuquerque Section is reaching out to learn more about how we can help our student members. As you know, the pandemic has resulted in the closing of university campuses and has seemingly overnight disrupted the economy and thus the near-term job market. Students are struggling to effectively learn remotely and uncertain how to proceed with their career development. Please take a moment to fill out the survey linked here so that the Albuquerque Section IEEE can better understand what students need and better gauge how to prioritize resources to help the most students.

In addition, the Section will be maintaining an active list of local employers who are still in need of qualified electrical and electronic skilled applicants despite the current economic situation. This list will be a living document located here.

To enhance learning remotely, several IEEE chapters, such as IEEE PELS are offering free online courses and webinars to everybody, regardless of membership, here.

Other IEEE resources that student members may be interested in include the Global Benefits Finder where you can search benefits by career phase and country, IEEE.tv, and the list of member discount programs.

Best regards,

Jason Neely

Albuquerque Section Chair
