A Message from the Executive Director |
Dear ECEDHA friends and family,
Happy October! We are now well into the academic year, and looking ahead to our annual gathering in March. Please be sure to mark your calendars for the 2022 ECEDHA Annual Conference and ECExpo, set for March 25-28 in New Orleans, Louisiana. After two years of being apart, we look forward to bringing everyone back together Mardi Gras style for in-person networking, education, and collaboration. In 2022, we will reboot, reset, and most importantly, reunite!
This year's Program Committee, led by Agnieszka Miguel, has been working diligently to create yet another world-class program for our members. If you are interested in joining their efforts, please reach out to the ECEDHA team. Your involvement keeps our community strong!
We appreciate your continued engagement and look forward to seeing you all in person this spring.
All the best,
John R. Janowiak

On the Future of ECE Education in a Rapidly-Transforming World, Based on Recent Lessons from the Pandemic
By: Badri Roysam, University of Houston
The foundational core of the ECE undergraduate program has not changed significantly for multiple decades, going back to the days when I was an undergraduate student myself. While I am certainly not suggesting that we need to completely revamp our long-successful discipline that is rooted in well-established physical laws and mathematical principles, the pandemic and many other global “jolts” that we have experienced over the past year have certainly brought many fresh imperatives into focus. I feel that it is certainly an opportune time to examine these factors and start a discussion.

Quantum 'Fingerprints' Made Smaller and Delivered Faster
By: Matthew Tierney, University of Toronto
Suppose you and a distant cousin are about to inherit some money, and you each have a version of the will on your computer. What is the least amount of information your computers must share to determine whether the versions are the same?
What you have on your hands is a communication complexity problem.

He was too afraid to fly over enemy ohmland because he was worried he'd be grounded.
