The IAS Education Department has established a web-based tutorial program that is appealing to a broad attendance. The tutorial program is intended to provide all attendees with an opportunity to enhance the education of the professional working in the field of industry applications of electrical engineering. Both experienced and new to the profession engineers can benefit from the tutorials, either by updating or renewing their knowledge base or by accelerating their learning process on new topics. The tutorials should provide value to practicing engineers combining the theory with applications and practical solutions. The topics can range from broad to narrow in scope, and can vary from introductory, intermediate or advanced in technical level. The tutorials are online and live and are usually of 3 hours duration. Each module of the tutorial must have an interactive Q&A segment for self-evaluation of his/her learning by the attendee.

The tutorials will be available at the IAS Resource Center (http://resourcecenter.ias.ieee.org/). Compensation for tutorial speakers includes an honorarium of US$1500. In the case of multiple speakers for one tutorial, the honorarium may be shared among the speakers.

Tutorial proposals should be submitted as a digest containing the title, abstract (no more than 500 words), outline, contact information and short bio of speaker(s) and other relevant information requested in the Tutorial Information Form, which can be downloaded here.

The speaker bio should describe the qualifications for presenting the proposed tutorial including the work and publications that are most relevant to the proposal. All tutorial proposals will be peer reviewed by at least two experts in the matter. Review results will be shared with the speaker to allow for further improvement of the tutorial.

The Tutorial Information Form should be sent to the IAS Tutorial Committee Chair Professor Akshay Kumar Rathore at [email protected] . It is recommended to include an initial and preliminary  draft of the presentation slides. 

Attention Authors: IEEE Energy Conversion Congress & Expo (ECCE) Call for Participation

On 19-23 October 2025 IEEE Energy Conversion Congress & Expo (ECCE) will bring together practicing engineers, researchers and other professionals for interactive and multidisciplinary discussions on the latest advances in various areas related to energy conversion. Calls for participation have been issued for the event in Philadelphia, PA, USA.  

Submissions are now being accepted for:

• Papers: Read the Call for Papers
• Tutorials: Read the Call for Tutorials
• Special Sessions: Read the Call for Special Sessions
• And Post-Journal Presentations: Read the Call for Post-Journal Presentations

The digest submission deadline for both papers and tutorials is 02 March 2025.

Correction: The date for EEIC2025 and I&CPS Europe were previously listed incorrectly in this newsletter. The correct date for the event is 15-18 July 2025.

The 25th International Conference on Environment and Electrical Engineering (EEEIC) and 9th Industrial and Commercial Power Systems Europe (I&CPS) will be held 15-18 July 2025 in Chania, Crete. 

IEEE EEEIC is an international forum for the exchange of ideas and information on current and future  energy systems. The conference provides a unique opportunity for industry to interact directly with university researchers, manufacturers and distributors of energy equipment and to discuss a wide variety of topics related to energy systems and environmental issues.

The Industrial and Commercial Power Systems Department (I&CPS) is a department of the Industry Application Society (IAS). The scope of the Industrial and Commercial Power Systems Department includes all matters within the scope of IAS relating to the technology of electric power generation, transmission or distribution in industrial, commercial and institutional facilities, and within that segment of industry associated specifically with rural or agricultural applications. The scope also includes the creation of related technical standards governing such applications.

The objective of I&CPSD shall be the advancement of the theory and practice of engineering as it relates to design and management of electrical power systems and comfort conditioning systems within industrial plants, commercial buildings and institutional facilities, and electrical power systems that serve primarily agricultural areas.

The 15th Edition of the IEEE International Symposium on Diagnostics for Electrical Machines, Power Electronics and Drives (SDEMPED2025), is being held 24-27 August 2025 in Dallas, Texas, USA.
