After joining IEEE VTS as a student member a few years back, I was always excited about the career development opportunities that VTS provides as a member. Quoting myself as an example where the transition from student member to professional member, and then Senior Member with VTS: it was fantastic!
Recently, I have been appointed as VTS Liaison to IEEE Young Professionals (YP) committee. I look forward to engaging our recent graduates and young engineers in the field of motor vehicles, connected cars, mobile radio, and other land/air transportation systems.
Our goal always will be to collect all the talented and adventurous YPs of transportation and telecommunication sciences under the roof of IEEE VTS. Our ultimate goal is to mentor our YPs so they may achieve their career goals and excellence in their profession.
For this purpose, we will organize special events during our major conferences, starting with IEEE VTC2018-Fall to be held in Chicago during August of this year. Our YP members will have a chance to network with Senior Members, Fellows, and other industry personnel, and discuss the possibilities of futuristic research directions and productivity, and obtain career advice.
I will work closely with the IEEE VTS Board of Governors, and introduce them to our YPs at the chapter level.
