CCECE Events
In the morning (9 am – noon), take a deep dive into Meta-Learning (a machine learning approach that is showing great promise), or learn about how to find and use relevant codes and standards in their capstone projects, research work, and eventual careers.
Then in the afternoon (1:30 – 4:30 pm) there will be a hands-on workshop using an effective tool to understand data pipelines for ocean data collected on platforms like autonomous underwater vehicles, while professors and those who are interested in academic careers may join the continual curriculum improvement panel to learn about what is happening across Canada to advance engineering programs.
The detailed descriptions of these tutorials are available on the CCECE 2022 website: https://ccece2022.ieee.ca/tutorials/
Registration is open to everyone, but there is a special price of $30 for students. Registration can be completed at this link: https://edas.info/r29368
