In the push for a greener world, computer science and power engineering can team up to make a real difference. Using fancy algorithms and data crunching, Computer Science helps us figure out where we're wasting energy and how we can do better. It's like having a smart buddy who knows how to optimize our power systems, seamlessly integrating solar panels and wind turbines. And with smart grid tech, we can talk about real-time monitoring and control to reduce energy waste and boost efficiency. Plus, computer science is beefing up cybersecurity to keep our power grids safe from digital threats.

In celebration of IEEE PES Day 2024, themed "Empowering Electric Mobility Innovation," IEEE NSU PES SBC, in collaboration with the IEEE NSU Student Branch and IEEE NSU SB WIE Affinity Group is organizing a seminar titled “Computing for Green Wheels and Grids”. The seminar will feature Saif Ahmed, Adjunct Lecturer of the ECE department of North South University and QA Programmer of Invisible Technologies, as our keynote speaker. Scheduled for the 24th of April, celebrating the 7th PES Day 2024, this program will provide insights into the potential of Computer Science to play a vital role in developing a sustainable environment.

Let's deep dive into how we're using computer smarts to drive greener energy practices, supercharge EV performance, and shrink our environmental footprint. Get the inside scoop on how future PES members can ride the wave of computing tech to lead the charge in making our rides and power grids more sustainable.

Industry visits are crucial in our academic journey, offering a valuable tool to educate and raise awareness within the Engineering community. It's a hands-on experience that enhances our understanding of the practical side of engineering.

To make the most of this chance and get hands-on with what we learn in theory, the IEEE NSU PES Student Branch Chapter, in partnership with the IEEE NSU Student Branch, organizes a full-day Industrial tour at Energypac Engineering Ltd.. The visit to Energypac Engineering Ltd's transformer and switchgear factory is essential for our students to gain practical insights into industrial processes, fostering a comprehensive understanding of electrical engineering. Participants will acquire knowledge about project objectives, methodologies, and task engagement, while also learning how to establish a sustainable connection with Energypac Limited. The focus of the visit is to explore cutting-edge technologies in transformer and switchgear manufacturing, emphasizing stringent quality standards. This experience will contribute to advancing our students' networking and vision in the industrial sector.

EnergyPac, a top power engineering company in Bangladesh since 1982, aims to be the best end-to-end engineering solution provider. They are committed to addressing global challenges through the synergy of digitalization and sustainability. This tour will showcase the Power and Energy sector, fostering confidence, building relationships, and establishing community connections.

All students of the ECE Department, especially Electrical & Electronic Engineering students are encouraged to participate in this Industrial tour. The plant tours can be a key part of a successful outreach strategy. The tour includes breakfast, snacks, lunch, and a goodies kit for the participants.

USAID Bangladesh, in partnership with IEEE NSU Power & Energy Society Student Branch Chapter & IEEE NSU SB Women in Engineering Affinity Group, is excited to announce a workshop titled "Career Prospect for Youth in Bangladesh Clean Energy Sector" at North South University. The workshop is a part of the five-year energy project, Bangladesh Advancing Development and Growth through Energy (BADGE), organized in collaboration with North South University (NSU).

This event is strategically designed to address the expanding energy demand in Bangladesh amid rapid economic growth despite the challenges posed by limited indigenous energy resources. The seminar aims to shed light on the numerous career opportunities within the clean energy sector in Bangladesh, emphasizing the pivotal role of renewable energy (RE), energy efficiency (EE), and clean energy adoption across various sectors to ensure energy security.

The workshop is particularly tailored for young students who are keen on exploring career paths in the clean energy sector. The event will provide valuable insights into the challenges and scopes for the youth, with a special emphasis on encouraging young women to pursue careers in this dynamic and critical field. The workshop not only addresses Bangladesh's immediate energy needs but also serves as a platform for creating job opportunities and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The collaborative effort between IEEE NSU PES SBC, IEEE NSU SB WIE AG, and USAID exemplifies a commitment to supporting the youth in navigating and contributing to the clean energy landscape, ultimately contributing to the sustainable development of Bangladesh.
