SUMMARY:Online: 2021 CIE Mentoring Circle
DESCRIPTION:Online: 2021 CIE Mentoring Circle\n  \n“Man is the only animal that can learn from history and from the experiences of others. Mentoring groups are one of the most efficient and highest forms of this learning and developing\,” says Mark Carpenter\, Sr. Vice President of Transmission and Distribution Operations at Oncor\, one of the architects and driving forces of CIE’s mentoring circle program. “CIE’s mentoring circle focuses on talent development\, the most important element in any organization\,” states Claire Jung\, Engineering Director in Analog Power Products at Texas Instruments. With the support of the CIE leaders including our founder-Dr. Faa-Ching Wang\, the mentoring circle started many years ago. \nMany agree with them\, as dozens of volunteers join this annual program every year\, aiming to learn from experienced community leaders. They meet in small groups\, discuss topics about the workplace or in everyday life\, and practice their leadership skills. Each group is led by one or two mentors\, follows a self-paced curriculum\, and meets online for two to three hours every two months. \nProgram mentees eagerly praise the benefits of this mentoring circle. “This is one thing that saves you time in the long run\,” says Will Jordan\, a supervisor at Oncor. “By hanging out with excellent people in CIE\, I could be a better person and a better leader myself!” says Minkai Wu\, a manager at Capital One. “I highly recommend this program to anyone who wants to become a better leader\,” says Yanping Chen\, Vice President as Quantitative Strategist at Goldman Sachs. “In the CIE mentoring groups\, all who participate—including the group leaders—grow and develop by learning from the perspectives and experiences of others. I urge you to take this opportunity and to later lead others in similar endeavors\,” says Mr. Carpenter. “You’ll be glad you did.”

SUMMARY:2017 CIE/USA-DFW Mentoring Program
DESCRIPTION:Introduction\nThe CIE Mentoring Program (CMP) event is one of the long-standing CIE/USA-DFW events featuring “Leadership” and “Career Mentoring” for young professionals. This event is especially designed for graduating university students and young professionals who desire to enhance their knowledge and hand-on experience on hiring process\, career development\, corporate culture\, and leadership. The goal of our program: foster relationships with young students/professionals and provide guidance as they navigate the early challenges of adulthood. Mentoring can be dated back to ancient Greek Mythology\, primarily the story of Mentor from Homer\’s Odyssey. As Odysseus was fighting in the Trojan War\, he put a friend\, Mentor\, in charge of his most prized possession: his son\, Telemachus. Mentor became Telemachus\’ coach\, counselor\, teacher\, protector\, and trusted advisor as he helped him grow from a young man into adulthood while his father was away. The word Mentor eventually evolved from a name into a word meaning trusted advisor\, friend\, teacher\, and wise person. In addition\, history has shown us many examples of successful mentoring relationships: Socrates and Plato\, Hayden and Beethoven\, Freud and Jung. Mentoring is now considered a fundamental form of human development where someone invests their time\, energy\, and personal knowledge in the growth of another person. This program seeks to do exactly that. \nAs a Mentor\, you will have the ability to change a young person\’s life. You will work directly with your mentee(s) to help address a myriad of topics such as: information overload\, work/life balance\, generational issues\, communications\, developing networking skills\, culture transitions\, setting career goals\, bridging the college gap\, and career guidance. These topics are essential to helping our young professionals evolve in to the future leaders of tomorrow. \nSo why become a Mentor? Mentoring isn\’t just useful for the person you are assisting\, but it can help you in various ways. First\, you experience the satisfaction from supporting another human being. Studies have shown that the greatest single aspect of becoming successful and overcoming hardships is through overwhelming support and motivation. This can be observed by little league coaches and their impacts on children\, Boy Scout leaders and their pupils\, and CEO\’s and other executive leaders. Second\, mentors grow themselves! You will hone your development on key skills such as listening\, questioning\, facilitation\, empathizing\, planning\, and confidence. Furthermore\, as you work closer and closer with your mentee(s)\, you will gain a sense of self-reflection. You will notice your own areas of improvement\, your own weaknesses\, and your own strengths. Together\, you will both grow beyond expectations and that is what mentoring is about. \nAs a Mentee\, you will learn from local leaders in a variety of industries. You will work directly with your mentor(s) to get answers on topics that are important to you: setting goals\, engaging in effective communication\, handling conflict in the workplace\, work/life balance\, job seeking skills\, and how to become a strong leader. These of course\, are just a small sample of questions that you may have. As part of the CMP\, the program is designed to put you\, the mentee\, in the drivers’ seat. In addition\, the CMP steering committee will work hard to pair you with a mentor that matches you direct needs and areas of interest. We will evaluate you and your mentor based on the personal activities you share\, the level of education\, the industry you are in\, and the type of mentoring you are looking for. \nSo why become a Mentee? Everyone needs a little help and advice at some point in our lives. Very few (and we mean very)\, have the ability to navigate the complexities of life without needing some external guidance. Through the helping hand of a mentor\, you have the one thing many people do not: a sounding board. Struggling with handling a high intensity job and maintaining a healthy life? We guarantee the mentors have been there. Worried about getting a job upon graduation? Yeah\, they have been there as well. By interacting with a proven industry leader\, your worries will subside as you receive advice from a mentor who has made it. Let them help you cultivate a successful career and help your dreams come true. \nSo what are you waiting for? Apply through the buttons on the right hand side of the website. On behalf of the CIE/USA-DFW Chapter\, we are looking forward to providing you a helping hand. \nGeneral Rules and Guidelines\nGuidelines:\n\nMentee checklist prior to meeting Mentor\n\nDefine your personal goals. Consider the skill set you will need to reach these goals. How can a mentor help you reach these goals?\nPrepare to take initiative in developing Mentor relationship\, and practice active listening\n\n\nMentee & Mentor to learn more about each other\, and best methods to work together\n\nEstablish a meeting cadence between mentee and mentor. Suggested schedule is once every 2 week\, ideally face to face\, or via phone calls\, Text or Email.\nDiscuss formality of meetings: Agenda\, minutes\, action items.\nAgree on communication tools/style.

SUMMARY:2017 CIE/USA-DFW Annual Banquet
DESCRIPTION:2017 CIE/USA-DFW Annual Convention\n\n\n2017 CIE/USA-DFW Fall Technical Symposium\n\n\n\n\n2017 CIE/USA-DFW Young Achiever Awards\n\n\n\n\n\nDinner Banquet Keynote Speaker\nDr. Mark W. Spong\, Dean\, Erik Jonsson School of Engineering & Computer Science\, The University of Texas at Dallas\n \nDr. Mark W. Spong is currently the Dean of the Erik Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer Science and Professor of Electrical Engineering at the University of Texas at Dallas. Dr. Spong received his D.Sc. degree in systems science and mathematics in 1981 from Washington University in St. Louis. He has held faculty positions at Lehigh University (1981-82)\, Cornell University (1982-84)\, and at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (1984-2008). \nAt UTD\, Dr. Spong holds both the Lars Magnus Ericsson Chair and the Excellence in Education Chair. Dr. Spong’s main research interests are in robotics\, mechatronics\, and nonlinear control theory. His notable awards include the 2016 Nyquist Prize from the ASME Dynamics and Control Division\, the 2011 Pioneer Award from the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society\, the first IROS Fumio Harashima Award for Innovative Technologies in 2007\, the IEEE Transactions on Control Systems Technology Outstanding Paper Award\, the Senior Scientist Research Award from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation\, the Distinguished Member Award from the IEEE Control Systems Society\, the John R. Ragazzini and O. Hugo Schuck Awards from the American Automatic Control Council\, and the IEEE Third Millennium Medal. Dr. Spong is Past President of the IEEE Control Systems Society and a Fellow of both the IEEE and IFAC. \nDr. Spong\’s work has been instrumental in establishing the theoretical foundations of robot control\, and the results he has produced over the past three decades have been implemented in systems at companies and research development facilities around the world\, including Sandia National Labs in New Mexico and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California. He has produced innovative solutions in robotics that have stood the test of time to become now-classic results in robotic control. \nHis work also led to the first practical solution of the problem of time-delay compensation in bilateral teleoperation\, which was a major impediment to the development of undersea and space robots\, and he was the first to show how poor performance in robot arms due to uncertainties and joint elasticity could be overcome with advanced nonlinear feedback control methods that he helped to develop. \nDr. Spong has also had a major impact on robotics education. He co-authored one of the most popular textbooks on robot dynamics and control\, which is still in use after more than 20 years. In addition\, he developed both hardware and software\, marketed by a company he founded (Mechatronic Systems Inc.)\, which are being used by more than 200 universities around the world. \nCentennial Keynote Speaker\nFaa-Ching Wang\, PhD\, Founder\, CIE/USA-DFW Chairman & President\, ConsulPath Inc.
