These kids are truly amazing!
Come see 64 high school teams from all across the state, competing for Washington State Championship and a chance to advance to the National Championships in St. Louis. We had 10,000 enthusiastic team members, mentors, teachers, parents and friends last year present at the event.
While we have having lunch, together with IEEE fellow engineers , you will meet some of the students, their teachers, coaches and mentors and . After lunch, we have arranged for personalized tours of the pits (think NASCAR) where teams work on their robots between rounds. Then you will be able to see the robots in action-packed competition as they throw Frisbees at special targets.
It’s a lunch you will never forget. If you can’t attend the lunch, come anytime on Friday March 29th or Saturday March 30th. Admission is free. Bring your family and friends.

Abstract: In this presentation, the speaker does a quick review of antenna concepts and parameters. The presentation is oriented towards engineers that never took an antenna class and those that took one many years ago. Dr. Rodriguez uses numerical simulations to help the audience visualize the difficult concepts and parameters related to antenna engineering. The presentation goes over the concept of an antenna, the mechanisms of radiation followed by the radiation patterns and all the different parameters that describe the radiation pattern. After an introduction of the basics concepts, Dr. Rodriguez provides a review of the most common antennas used in EMC testing. After the presentation, the audience should have a better understanding of antennas and antenna parameters.
Speaker Biography
Vince Rodriguez attended The University of Mississippi (Ole Miss), in Oxford, Mississippi, where he obtained his B.S.E.E. in 1994. Following graduation, Dr. Rodriguez joined the department of Electrical Engineering at Ole Miss as a research assistant. During that time he earned his M.S. and Ph.D. (both degrees in Engineering Science with an emphasis in Electromagnetics) in 1996 and 1999, respectively. After a short period as visiting professor at the Department of Electrical Engineering at Texas A&M University-Kingsville, Dr. Rodriguez joined EMC Test Systems (now ETS-Lindgren) as an RF and Electromagnetics engineer in June 2000. During this time he was involved in E field generator design and the RF design of several anechoic chambers, including rectangular and taper antenna pattern measurement chambers – some of them operating from 100MHz to 40GHz. He was also the principal RF engineer for the anechoic chamber at the Brazilian Institute for Space Research (INPE), the largest chamber in Latin America and the only fully automotive, EMC and satellite testing chamber. In September 2004, Dr. Rodriguez took over the position of Senior Principal Antenna Design Engineer, placing him in charge of the development of new antennas for different applications and improvements to the existing antenna line. Since the fall of 2010 he has served as the company’s Antenna Product Manager. In this position Dr. Rodriguez oversees all technical and marketing aspects of the antenna products at ETS-Lindgren. Among the antennas developed by Dr. Rodriguez there are: broadband double and quad-ridged guide horns; high field generator horns; stacked LPDAs for automotive and military testing; and printed antennas for wireless testing. While mainly dedicated to antenna design, Dr. Rodriguez has continued being involved in anechoic chamber design such as the conical taper L-shaped range at the National University of Singapore, a secondary chamber for INPE in Brazil, and taper anechoic chambers for the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India. Dr. Rodriguez is the author of more than 50 publications including journal and conference papers as well as book chapters. Dr. Rodriguez holds patents for hybrid absorber and for a dual ridge horn antenna. He is a Senior Member of the IEEE and several of its technical societies. He is also a Senior Member of the Antenna Measurements Techniques Association (AMTA) as well as a past member of its board of directors. Dr. Rodriguez is a member of the Applied Computational Electromagnetic Society (ACES). He has served as a reviewer for the ACES Journal and for the Journal of Electromagnetic Waves and Applications (JEWA). He has served as chair of sessions at several conferences of the IEEE, AMTA, CPEM (conference on precision electromagnetic measurements) and ATMS (Antenna Test and Measurement Society). Dr. Rodriguez is a Full member of the Sigma Xi Scientific Research Society and of the Eta Kappa Nu Honor Society.

Seattle Chapter Meeting
February 5, 2013
Topic: Lake Chelan Holden Village –Operating A Micro Grid
Date: February 5, 2013
Time: 6:00 – 8:00 PM Refreshments, Chapter Updates and Presentation
Place: Seattle University, Room – Bannan 102
Speaker: Chris Shultz, Public Works Manager at Holden Village
Agenda
6:00 pm – Networking and Refreshments
6:30 pm – Welcome and Introductions
6:45 pm – Presentation
Holden Village Micro Grid: Holden Village is surrounded by the Glacier Peak Wilderness and can only be reached by boat or on foot. It is a 70 year old Mining Town that is currently a Lutheran Retreat Center that has been running a hydro powered micro grid with mostly volunteer staff and 100 year old generators for the past 50 years. Come hear how they keep the power on in the Village when power output varies from 300KW in the Summer to 30KW in the winter. Holden Village is also facing mine remediation work that will have a major impact on the operations of the Village. Chris will give an overview of the remediation plans and infrastructure improvements to the Village.
Speaker: Chris Shultz is currently the Public Works Manager at Holden Village where his duties include running a small hydro plant to trouble shooting problems with the Village septic system and everything in between. He is currently working on designs to upgrade the distribution system and the generation plant at Holden. Prior to moving to Holden with his family, Chris worked 27 years in the Electric Utility Industry, 12 years with LA Dept of Water and Power and 15 years with Tacoma Power. Chris received a BSEE degree from Cal. State University, Sacramento in 1983 and a MSEE in Electric Power from USC in 1987.
