Emerging Humanitarian RF& MW Technologies for the benefit of the Society:The Driving Force for a Better Future for Humanity
Co-sponsored by IEEE Region 1 MTT/AP Chapter
IEEE’s tagline, “Advancing Technology for Humanity,” stimulates us to proceed in a direction to invent the technology and apply those to decipher basic needs found in the underserved regions of the world. IEEE is a truly global professional society; from the BoD (Board of Directors) to the structural units functioning at the different levels (Technical Societies, Sections, Councils, Chapters, Affinity Groups, and the Corporate Activities) with the intended goal is to leverage engineering expertise and know-how towards promoting to global development. Past history has revealed that technology improves the standards of livings, progresses the quality of life, and stimulates coordination and agreement. But advancing technology also has the possibility to destroy our Planet Earth if not used appropriately. IEEE SIGHT is a road map that enables volunteering forces to work together to arrive at a sustainable approach for advancing technology to make our planet a better place to live in for all of us.
While IEEE’s tagline, “Advancing Technology for Humanity,” should establish it resolutions, unfortunately there is substantial portion of population that does not have access to some of the basic stuff (clean water, electricity, internet, mobile phone, and others) that many of us take for granted. Admission to these basic things to improve the quality of life is being considered as a “Human Right”. IEEE SIGHT platform us to understand the global humanitarian challenges and ability to apply Electronics & Communication Engineering capability to explore the low cost solution for improving the quality of life in the underserved regions of the world.

Emerging Humanitarian RF& MW Technologies for the benefit of the Society:The Driving Force for a Better Future for Human
Attending underserved communities is a kind of deploying the prevailing Engineering technology to address the humanitarian challenges and civic concerns. One can explore low cost affordable existing technology solutions to improve the quality of life; IEEE MTT and AP society members can make a BIG diiference.
