This interactive workshop will include presentations\, video clips\, short competitions\, hands-on exploration o f ideas and process ‘take-aways’ for team based creative intelligence. \n\nBuilding Canada's Space Workforce (Full Day)\n\nPresenters: Michael Gr aham and Aaron Topple\, North American Space Institute\n\n2025 promises to be another record breaking year with over 300 launches expected. However\ , as the saying goes\, space is hard\, and still requires close attention to detail. In this workshop\, Michael Graham and Aaron Topple will explain the need to certify those involved in the assembly and test of space hard ware and provide details concerning a family of student and professional c ertifications that address the needs of the burgeoning space industry.\n\n Technical Writing (Afternoon)\n\nPresenter: Azfar Adib\, Chair\, IEEE Cana da Educational Services Committee\n\nTechnical writing is essential skill for all technology professionals. In this tutorial\, Azfar Adib shares hin ts and insights that will help IEEE CCECE attendees become more confident and effective technical writers.\n\n2332 Main Mall\, Vancouver\, British C olumbia\, Canada\, V6T 1Z4 LOCATION:2332 Main Mall\, Vancouver\, British Columbia\, Canada\, V6T 1Z4 ORGANIZER:ccece2025@ieee.ca SEQUENCE:27 SUMMARY:CCECE 2025 - Workshops & Tutorials URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/482273 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><div>Join technology leaders from Vancouver a nd abroad in exclusive workshops and tutorials.
