Join Us: MONDAY, APRIL 14TH @ 11:00 AM EST
Guest Lecturer: BURAK OZPINECI
This seminar will explore engagement opportunities provided by IEEE and discuss how active
participation can accelerate career advancement. IEEE is recognized worldwide for its commitment to
advancing technology for the benefit of humanity, fostering innovation and excellence in various fields.
Its global network supports professional growth, collaboration, and knowledge sharing among
researchers, practitioners, and students. The session will also introduce the new IEEE chapter—the
Transportation Electrification Council (TEC) for the East Tennessee Region. As the first TEC chapter in
North America, it is at the forefront of the transportation electrification revolution, engaging with
cutting-edge advancements in electric and hybrid vehicles, more-electric ships and aircraft, rail systems,
and personal transport. The TEC chapter aims to create leadership opportunities, enhance professional
development across disciplines including motive power, energy storage, power grid integration,
electronic intelligence, and control technologies. Attendees will gain insights into how involvement with
IEEE and the TEC chapter can empower professionals by providing a platform that fosters collaboration,
innovation, and the exchange of ideas in the field of transportation electrification.
