Fellow Nominations-Class of 2010
It's never too early to begin thinking about nominating worthy Senior Members
for election to the grade of IEEE Fellow. Details of the process are posted.
The categories for Fellow nominations have caused some
confusion in the past. A cogent explanation of these categories is available. Must
reading for nominators!
PES Position on Education and Workforce Needs

News
IEEE Encourages Consumers to Learn about the Analog to Digital Broadcast
Transition
For the last nine years, the US broadcast industry has been preparing for
a fundamental shift in the way that broadcast signals are delivered to the
American public. The actual full-power transition from analog television to
exclusive use of digital television formally began in May 1999 and will be
completed on February 17, 2009 at 11:59 p.m. when all full power analog signals
are to be turned off. Read the full press release.
Innovation in Danger: Not Enough Students Pursuing Engineering
Careers
Thought Leaders from IEEE met to discuss current issues in Education, from
engaging youth to encouraging, attracting and retaining engineering talent The
trend is alarming, and it’s global. In Western Europe, Australia, Japan
and even in India, the numbers of students attracted to engineering and
computer science are declining. For example, a 2003 Harris poll conducted in
the U.S. shows that only two percent of first year university students (and
less than one percent of young women) want to major in computer science. The
full press release is available.
Chapter 'Doings'
Region 9 (Latin America)
Bogata, Columbia was the site of a Region Chapter Chair meeting on
16 August 2008. A report of the events of that meeting is available.
Western Saudi Arabia
On 27 October 2008, the Western Saudi Arabia PES Chapter met at
Kink Abdulaziz University. Chapter chair Bander Allef provides a report of that meeting.
Standards
IEEE Standard C37.2 Updated
The document, Standard Electrical Power Device Function
Numbers, was adopted by AIEE in 1928 as AIEE No. 26. A joint working group
of the PES Substations and Power System Relaying Committees has recently
updated the standard. John Tengdin, a member of the updating group, offers a
historical perspective into the background behind the original intent and the
revisions that have ensued. His most interesting presentation is posted
P&E Magazine - November 2008
"In My View" Column
The November P&E Magazine In My View column by Richard McMahon of the Edison
Electric Institute (EEI) is entitled Alliance of Energy Suppliers, Expanding
the Role of Renewables and offers an insight into the US Utilities
views on the subject. Mr. McMahon reviews the present status of renewable
sources, together with the issues and challenges associated with the sources
themselves and their integration into the present day grid. He is an advocate
for the development and deployment of a full portfolio of advanced technologies
that include energy efficiency in both supply and demand. Further discussion is
encouraged and should be sent to molken@ieee.org.
