Abstract: The beauty is in the details, especially in relay and control design, where even the smallest mistake can lead to disastrous results. In this discussion, we’ll look at some real-world incidents that could have been averted through a better-quality control process, underscoring the importance of self-checks, following procedures, and cultivating a strong thought process to achieve high-quality designs and implementations. As advancements in technology and process automation diminish the hands-on involvement of engineers, we’ll also confront the unique challenges awaiting the next generation—challenges of design and the seamless transfer of knowledge.

Peter Teahen will be our presenter. The scope of a mass fatalities response extends well beyond the return of remains to surviving family members. Addressing the complex needs of such an incident includes several critical tasks: protecting potential crime scenes; managing resources and personnel effectively; conducting comprehensive searches and recovering remains; understanding relevant legal and regulatory issues; identifying and returning remains accurately; and ensuring that the families of the deceased are treated with compassion, dignity, and respect for their cultural and religious beliefs. It is essential that responders are equipped with the necessary tools to fulfill their duties and are prepared to manage the substantial physical and emotional stress they will encounter during the response.

Synopsis: If not solved, AI models' power and water consumption threaten human society and ecology. AI is expected to consume 4% of the world's electricity by 2026. Water requirements are even more alarming as water is a shared, non-renewable resource. This talk will discuss some ways, such as data center redesign that industry and academia are working to tackle this issue and the research directions that may enable us to train and use energy-efficient models.

A Consultants Committee Virtual Meeting A few years ago the (https://ieeeusa.org/committees/aicncc/) polled local consultants network chairs to find out the status of their local consultants network. What the Consultants Committee learned is that many local consultants networks are having trouble organizing in-person meetings. We also learned that many chairs have questions about activities of the IEEE-USA Consultants Committee. On January 30 at 12:00pm-1:00pm EST, the IEEE-USA Consultants Committee is again sponsoring a virtual workshop for local consultant network chairs. We have asked senior committee members William Kassebaum and Larry Nelson to give a presentation on key activities and services of IEEE-USA Consultants Committee. In addition, these committee members will add their commentary about what independent consultants should expect in 2025. After the presentation, there will be a Q/A with members of the IEEE-USA Consultants Committee. IEEE-USA Consultants Committee members want to address any questions about the committee's activities that local chairs may have. The speakers will address any additional questions chairs may have regarding the presentation. So, we invite all Chairs, Vice Chairs and other network officers, as well as potential future Board members, to register and attend this online event. This meeting will be recorded to be used as an on Demand resource. Speaker(s): William R. Kassebaum, Larry Nelson Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/460103

Humans make decisions and solve problems using heuristics (“thinking fast”) or abstract approaches such as modeling (“thinking slow”). Artificial intelligence approaches can similarly use either heuristics that are related to correlation and categorization, or use models that are related to causation. Predictive Engineering, which melds engineering modeling with probabilistic thinking, aligns closely with causation and an aspect of artificial intelligence called Causal Learning. Issues with some artificial intelligence approaches will be explored, with real (and sometimes controversial and provocative) examples, and promising approaches encompassing causation /predictive engineering will be discussed.
