These projects provide financial support and str uctured mentorship to teams developing solutions that align with IEEE's mi ssion of "advancing technology for humanity." Emphasis is placed on applic ations that incorporate state-of-the-art antenna and wireless technologies \, including but not limited to artificial intelligence (AI)\, machine lea rning (ML)\, virtual reality (VR)\, and other emergent technologies. A par ticular focus is directed toward deploying high-speed wireless networks\, critical for next-generation mobile communication systems. These systems a im to achieve enhanced data throughput\, minimized latency\, and robust co nnectivity.\n\nIntegral to the initiative is the exploration of terahertz signal generation and advanced signal processing techniques\, which are es sential for the scalability of Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystems. Antenn a technologies are the foundational enabler for device-to-device connectiv ity across diverse applications\, ranging from consumer smart devices to i ndustrial automation systems. The projects integrate key elements such as electromagnetic propagation modeling\, wireless communication protocols\, radar systems\, and remote sensing technologies. A rigorous understanding and optimization of these components are vital for evaluating antenna syst em performance across heterogeneous environments and use cases.\n\nThe ove rarching objective of the Humantrain Projects is to catalyze innovation in wireless communication and sensing systems through interdisciplinary coll aboration among academia and industry stakeholders. Core goals include enh ancing wireless networks' efficiency\, reliability\, and scalability to im prove human communication\, data exchange\, and environmental interaction. These initiatives follow a collaborative research and development model t o tackle humanitarian challenges through technology.\n\nInterested IEEE AP -S Student Members and Faculty Advisors are encouraged to participate by f orming project teams and submitting proposals via the designated Call for Proposals portal. All submitted projects must involve AP-S members\, apply relevant antenna and propagation technologies\, and address community-ori ented challenges. Proposals should align with one of the four thematic pil lars: Environment\, Education and Outreach\, Access and Abilities\, or Hum an Services. Selected proposals will receive mentorship and financial supp ort totaling up to USD 10\,000.\nThe deadline for the submission of projec t proposals is May 1\, 2025.\n[Call for Proposals May 1 2025 - EPICS in IE EE](https://epics.ieee.org/ias-call-for-proposals-25/)\n\n[]\nParking: Bab bio Center Garage\, Frank Sinatra Drive\, Hoboken\, NJ 07030\nParking Perm it Contact: Kevin Lu\, klu2@stevens.edu\n\nCo-sponsored by: North Jersey S ection\, AP-S COPE and AP-S SIGHT\n\nSpeaker(s): Dr. Ajay K.
