IEEE Spectrum Puts the Spotlight on Multiphysics

Electrical | Posted on April 29th, 2013 by

The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) is doing some really cool things for its members. Chances are that you have attended their top rated conferences, downloaded papers from IEEE Xplore, or participated in one of many local chapter events. For electrical engineers like me, IEEE certainly is a rock to lean on for continued education and to connect with colleagues from around the world. Even if you are not a member you can tap into IEEE resources such as newsletters, websites, and their flagship publication — IEEE Spectrum. With over 400,000 subscribers and sharp editorial it is with great expectations I pick up the magazine from my mailbox (you can get it as a PDF too) each month.
