    Welcome to the IEEE Pikes Peak Section!

    We recently added dedicated web pages for the following chapters/society/groups.   Click on the hyperlinked text for more information.

    Based on the content generated from the Pikes Peak Section societies and groups, we also provided digital flipbooks and/or videos to the society and group pages shown below: 

    Note:  Please be patient as it takes a minute or two to load the flipbooks and videos.  Some videos take time to load due to bandwidth-limited websites.

    You will also find the latest and reported meetings or events from the section here.  Any upcoming meetings can be found on the left column of this home page.

    Finally, we provided a dedicated section on the Entrepreneurial Mindset for Students and Faculty.  The multi-media content will provide graduating IEEE students a competitive edge during a job interview. The Entrepreneurial Mindset working in tandem with the technical skillset is based on the Kern Entrepreneurial Engineering Network (KEEN) framework, also found at Engineering Unleashed website.  The web section that was developed contains:

    Below is Dr Warrick’s talking points on leadership.  Note you can enlarge to full screen by clicking on the square-like icon found on the middle portion of the controls at the top of the pdf flipbook.  Please be patient as it takes less than a minute to load the flipbook.  You can also download the pdf here.

    The Pikes Peak Section was not able to record the above presentation.  However, there are similar videos of his presentations on YouTube.
    Here’s one video and it’s 1/2 hour where Dr Warrick is presented as a second speaker around the 25-26 minute mark, entitled, Demystifying Leadership Principles – Business Briefing.  The videos starts off with the myths of Leadership
     
    This video focuses on the commitment to personal excellence.

    In this webinar, Dr Warrick discusses the importance of change management and equips you with tools to successfully do so.

    (45) Warrick Webinar: How Skilled are You and Your Organization at Managing Change? – YouTube

    This is a one hour talk to his colleagues:  Don Warrick – Lessons Learned From Over Fifty Years Of OD&C – Studies and Practice:
    Summary: Dr. Warrick has been a student, educator, practitioner, and author of books and articles on OD&C for over fifty years. In his session he will be sharing some of the key lessons he has learned about the field that he considers to be one of the most rewarding fields anyone could be in. He loves the field of OD&C and believes that people involved in ODC have an opportunity to make a significant difference in the lives of organizations, teams, and individuals.

    IEEE DAY FOR THE PIKES PEAK SECTION, 6 OCT 2022

    In celebration of IEEE Day, the IEEE Pikes Peak Section visited the University of Colorado, Colorado Springs (UCCS) IEEE Student Branch to talk about “Why A Technical Skill Set May Not Be Enough “by Dr John Santiago and “Going Pro” by Mr. Daniel Thomson.

    For Daniel Thomson presentation, he provides reasons why IEEE is a good return-on-investment (ROI) as well as a discussion of the benefits of attending the Rising Stars Conference, held every January at Las Vegas.   Young Professionals and IEEE Student members are highly encouraged to attend.  Please see your student branch advisor for details.  Due to budget constraints, one student per student branch may attend.

    Rising Stars Conference and Leadership presentation of slides and video (no audio) can be found here.

    An EXCOM Meeting was held on 23 Aug 2022.  The primary focus for the meeting was understanding the budgeting process for student simulation projects with regards to the National Museum of WWII Aviation.  The proposed project was presented by David Bondurant, Life Member Affinity Group (LMAG) Chair and John Reinert, Section Treasurer, explained the budgeting process to all of the members.  The meeting clarified the budgeting process for future propostals involving outreach or other activities.  John Reinert intends to provide more guidance on David Bondurant’s proposal.  The guidance will include a blank project proposal form (the Region PACE Project form) along with a filled-out example for the Science Olympiad. David also mentioned there are forms for the Computer Society and Life Members. John will also do a summary follow-up to the EXCOM. Basically, reiterating that the EXCOM members are supporting the project in concept and will need to see the proposal.  This meeting and follow-up activities will serve in documenting the budget process.

    UPDATE:  As discussed above, you can find a blank project proposal form (the Region PACE Project form) and filled-out example for the Science Olympiad here.

    Student WWII Aircraft Simulation Projects At National Museum of WWII Aviation : vTools Events (ieee.org)

    A joint Life Member Affinity Group, Computer Society and Section meeting was held on 28 July 2022 to hear a presentation on simulation projects for the National Museum of WWII Aviation.  A simulation project was proposed to involve IEEE Student Branches and Section members.  The presentation was given by Verne Patterson from the museum.

    The Museum has involved 110 University of Colorado-Colorado Springs engineering students over the last 7 years in the development of it’s interactive exhibits.  One example is Kevyn Kelso, a computer engineering major who enrolled in a class called Senior Design Project.  He chose to work at the Museum for his final project and was assigned the Norden Bombsight Simulator Project team.  Past students were involved with creating a 3-D printed replica of the Norden Bombsight used by bombardiers to accurately land bombs.  Kevyn joined 4 other students in developing the computer imaging of a B-17 dropping bombs on a target using real physics for bomb trajectory  based on inputs from the replica Norden Bombsight.
