That was followed by th e formation of AIEE District 10 (Canada) - now IEEE Region 7\, in 1921. AI EE and IRE (Institute of Radio Engineers\, founded in 1912) merged in 1963 into IEEE. To serve better the needs of Canadian Electrical and Computer Engineers\, Canadian Society of Electrical and Computer Engineers (CSECE) and IEEE Region 7 amalgamated into one organization – IEEE Canada in 199 5. Please join us in the celebration of the IEEE Canada 25th Anniversary a t a free video Workshop on IEEE Day\, Oct. 06\, 2020 at 12:30-15:00\, and hear the exciting story about the formation of IEEE Canada – from those who created it – and about the rich and multi-faced operation today of I EEE Canada and its Philanthropic Partner – IEEE Canadian Foundation.\n\n About IEEE Day\n\nIEEE Day is celebrating the first time in history when e ngineers worldwide and IEEE members gathered to share their technical idea s in 1884. Worldwide celebrations demonstrate the ways thousands of IEEE m embers in local communities join together to collaborate on ideas that lev erage technology for a better tomorrow.\n\nTheme\n\nNow engraved in its es sence\, the IEEE Day’s theme is: “Leveraging Technology for a Better T omorrow”. While the world benefits from what’s new\, IEEE focuses on w hat’s next.\n\nDate\n\nIEEE Day is celebrated on the first Tuesday of Oc tober. Accordingly\, IEEE Day will be celebrated on Tuesday 6 October 2020 .\n\nSpeaker(s): Susan K. "Kathy" Land\, \n\nAgenda: \nIEEE Canada 25th An niversary Agenda:\n\n1. Jason Gu\, IEEE Canada President\, Welcome and ope ning remarks\n\n2. Ali Dolatabadi\, EIC President\, Greetings and congratu lations on behalf of EIC\n\n3. Vijay Bhargava\, IEEE Region 7 Director for 1992-1993\nTitle: Setting the Stage for the Merger of CSECE and IEEE Regi on 7.\nAbstract: The effort to revive the Canadian Society for Electrical and Computer Engineering (CSECE) and its journal\, the Canadian Journal of Electrical and Computer Engineering (CJECE) led to the foundation of the Canadian Conference on Electrical and Computer Engineering (CCECE) in 1988 . By 1990\, CSECE\, its journal and conference were in good shape and time was ripe to start discussion on its merger with IEEE Region 7. In 1991\, the formation of a “Blue Ribbon Committee” was announced at CCECE ’9 1 in Quebec City and the stage was set for the merger of CCECE and IEEE Re gion 7 to form IEEE Canada.\n\n4. John Plant\, Past President of Canadian Society for Electrical and Computer Engineering (CSECE) in 1993 and a Past EIC Executive Director for many years\nTitle: My memory of the formation of IEEE Canada.\n\n5. Ray Findlay\, IEEE Region 7 Director for 1994-1995\, and first IEEE Canada President in 1995\nTitle: Some reflections on the e stablishment of IEEE Canada: 1994 and all that.\n\n6. Maike Luiken\, IEEE Canada President 2018-2019\nTitle: The current IEEE Canada and its activit ies.\n\n7. Witold Kinsner\, IEEE Canada President 2016-2017\nTitle: IEEE C anada's Role in Enhancing Education\nAbstract: IEEE Canada has played a si gnificant role in enhancing experiential educational capabilities of unive rsities\, colleges\, vocational schools\, and the STEAM component of pre-u niversity schools. Examples of such advances include the establishment of the McNaughton Student Resource Centres in Canada\, the development of han ds-on workshops for teachers and practising professionals\, delivery of on e-week space camps for students\, and discovery week for Indigenous studen ts. This presentation gives examples of such activities\, as well as a new idea of cognitive digital twins which are intended to enhance future educ ational needs in life-long learning.\n\n8. Vijay Sood\, the longest servin g Editor of the ICR\nTitle: IEEE Canadian Review and Canadian Journal on C omputer and Electrical Engineering – a brief history.\nAbstract: This br ief presentation describes the two IEEE Canada publications – The IEEE C anadian Review and IEEE CJECE – from their inception and their evolution over the years.\n\n9. David Whyte\, IEEE Canadian Foundation President (I CF)\nTitle: IEEE Canadian Foundation – Philanthropic Partner of IEEE Can ada.\nAbstract: The IEEE Canadian Foundation aligns with the interests and aims of IEEE Canada by supporting student and educational activities\, in cluding McNaughton Learning Resource Centres and scholarships\, and other special ventures via grants energizing electrical and computer engineering in Canada. Students and others benefit from the recognition of leadership and support of learning opportunities\; IEEE Canada benefits though the g oodwill boost of these programs which are uniquely Canadian and distinct f rom other IEEE programs.\n\n10. Om Malik\, IEEE Canada President 2010-2011 and EIC President 2014-2016\nTitle: Evolution of EIC and IEEE Canada rela tionship with EIC.\nAbstract: A brief history of the evolution of Engineer ing Institute of Canada and its role within the Canadian context\; also ho w IEEE-Canada fits in with EIC.\n\n11.
