Speaker: Dr. Stan Rifkin

Topic for Discussion: The Future of Electronics at the Subatomic Particle (Quantum) Level. (This was the topic that was supposed to be presented at our February meeting earlier this year.)

 "Our Life Member roles in helping young people understand the future of electricity and electronics - at the subatomic level."  We Life Members have exhibited considerable interest in helping students at all levels understand electricity, electronics, and our professions. I am wondering if we are preparing them for a different understanding of electricity than we learned, one that has gained currency (pun optional).

 

We encourage all San Diego IEEE Life Members to attend and to bring along any colleagues or friends who may be interested. This is a great opportunity to network, share ideas, and enjoy delicious food in a friendly setting.

If you have any questions or require further information, please contact the venue or reach out to Bill Torre, 619-417-9410. We look forward to seeing you there!
