There are currently no leadership development programs dedicated for the STEM professional\, and existing leadership programs don’t focus on the particular complexities of leadership in a technical company. That’s why TxEEE is developing a new curriculum that is devoted to shaping the next generation of engineering leaders. \nWe invite you to join us for our first-ever leadership roundtable in partnership with the Austin Technology Council\, where you’ll learn more about our engineering leadership program and have the opportunity to provide your insight on how to shape the future leaders of the engineering world\, across all industries. \nThe TxEEE Engineering Leadership Roundtable will be held on Thursday\, August 1st.We will host a free breakfast in our new Engineering Education and Research Center to dive deeper into discussing the course topics and also allow you to ask questions of the instructors for the program. This is a great opportunity for you to offer your opinion of what your current workforce may need. \nPlease feel free to invite friends\, colleagues\, and coworkers to join us for this worthwhile conversation. Industry input is vital to course development\, and your feedback is crucial to launching this program. Please let me know if you can join us for the discussion or if you have any additional questions. Thank you for being a part of shaping the future of engineering leadership. I look forward to hearing from you soon. \nKonavis Smith\nDirector of Business Development\, Texas Engineering Executive Education \nREGISTER HERE URL:https://www.austintechnologycouncil.org/event/txeee-engineering-leadership-roundtable/ LOCATION:Engineering and Education Research Center (EER) at the University of Texas at Austin\, 2501 Speedway\, Austin\, 78712\, United States CATEGORIES:ATC Event,Community Event,Featured Event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.austintechnologycouncil.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/engineering-leadership-1.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20190806T181500 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20190806T193000 DTSTAMP:20260405T080431 CREATED:20190722T141725Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190722T141725Z UID:10001659-1565115300-1565119800@www.austintechnologycouncil.org SUMMARY:Technology\, Space & Humanity DESCRIPTION:The human desire to look up\, wonder\, and explore is innate\, and space is truly a fascinating frontier for our species.

AI will transform society and the workforce—many jobs will be changed or eliminated\, while other jobs will be elevated or created. Thus\, learning AI is about to be very important for professional in all industries as well as government and education. However\, most current AI classes are either too brief for teaching machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) to be used for real work\, or too long for professionals to be able to devote sufficient time to complete. \nIn this class\, we will leverage experience working with real customers in industry\, government and higher education to deliver an accelerated introduction to ML and DL covering all stages—from data preparation to training to inferencing—with real examples showcasing the power\, and appropriate usage\, of both. We will use pre-prepared scripts\, data\, and codes\, and the ‘cooking show’ method of moving to completed versions of each step quickly\, enabling listeners to understand each step without spending hours/days of actual data manipulation and coding. \nAfter this class\, attendees will be able to:\n1. Understand what AI and machine learning (ML) are\, and learn the commonly used types – both classical ML and deep learning (DL).\n2. Learn how to choose the appropriate ML or DL techniques for different kinds of problems and purposes\, and why.\n3. Execute the entire process (steps) to get from raw data all the way to insight/prediction/decision with machine learning and deep learning. \nInstructors:\n– Jay Boisseau\, PhD- CEO of Vizias and AI & HPC Technology Strategist at Dell EMC\n– John Lockman- CTO of Vizias and AI Developer at Dell EMC\n– Luke Wilson\, PhD – Chief Analytics Officer of Vizias and AI & Data Analytics Researcher at Dell EMC\n___________________________________________________________________________________________________ \nStay after the workshop for our first Austin AI Ecosystem meetup.

AI is poised to reshape mobility\, healthcare\, industry\, government\, safety\, national security\, and more. However\, the new wave of AI—machine learning and especially deep learning—is complex and evolving rapidly\, requires new hardware and software for maximum performance\, and faces challenges in adoption and measurement of ROI\, explainability and forensic analysis\, and bias and other ethical issues. Nonetheless\, AI is deemed by many innovators\, researchers\, business leaders\, and more as being the most revolutionary (and by a few\, potentially dangerous) technology of our time. \nAustin is one of the leading technology cities in the world\, as home to the major offices and headquarters of companies such as Dell\, IBM\, AMD\, Arm\, Apple\, Facebook\, Google\, Amazon\, and more\, with a creative entrepreneurial scene as well. Austin is now home to many AI-focused companies from startup to global in scale\, and Austin can promote itself to the center of this discussion by focusing not only on AI-technology\, but also on the numerous business\, security\, and societal impacts AI is projected to have. From healthcare diagnostics and treatments to smart cars buildings and smart cities\, AI will affect the lives of not only businesses and governments but of everyone in more ways than we can imagine. Understanding how this technology works\, and how to best shape its usage by both governmental and commercial entities will require us to go beyond just the latest advances of the state-of-the-art-AI. It will force us to confront the many challenges we will encounter as we move away from human-intensive manual processes to automated decision-making systems. \nThe objective of this first Austin AI Ecosystem Initiative meetup is to establish some guidelines of how we can best leverage Austin’s tech community and AI players as a leading city for AI development and application: in industry\, in research\, in education\, and in social impact. \nThere are there major objectives for this first meetup:\n1. Establish an Austin AI Consortium to promote collaboration on pre-competitive issues to advance innovation and application of AI\n2. Develop a report and recommendations for attracting funding—investment\, state\, and federal—for pre-competitive research\, for education\, and more\n3. Create an annual conference in Austin to bring together stakeholders and ecosystem partners united in a mission to accelerate AI impact for good: for business and economies\, for safety and society\, for security and welfare. \nWe will invite leaders from across the AI ecosystem in Austin\, provide an overview of the AI market and Austin ecosystem\, and form working groups to develop ideas and recommendations for the three objectives above (and maybe more) to be presented at the second meetup in November.

Although energy technologies have transformed humanity’s ability to thrive and grow\, they sometimes had unintended consequences\, positive and negative. As new energy technologies emerge to improve or replace older ones\, they address the limitations of previous technologies and usher in entirely new capabilities. \nFor example\, the way we generate and consume electricity for the past century has been dominated by fossil fuels providing great\, cheap energy production\, but also some negative environmental impacts. How we drive around in our gas burning cars is now a rapidly aging and potentially soon to be irrelevant technology and infrastructure. Technology-enabled innovation – electrification\, renewable energy\, distributed power storage\, and electric and self-driving cars and big trucks can and will fundamentally change how we consume and use energy as a resource. What is the hype vs. reality of these new opportunities for industry and society while also protecting our planet? How does this affect you individually and our city in the short and the long term? Come listen\, enjoy energy interactive stations to include a VR demo\, and ask questions to discover global trends and local solutions today and into the near future. \nWe welcome your participation! Please email us with your questions\, answers\, and prognostications in advance. \nAdmission to the monthly Austin Forum events is always free.\n​\nThe Austin Forum accepts donations of used smart phones and tablets at all our events. All devices will have a factory reset and be set up as new by the team at Austin Pathways’ nationally-recognized “Unlocking the Connection” initiative\, which will connect every public housing resident with a digital device\, digital literacy\, and a free or very low-cost internet connection. Your donated phone can change lives and help close Austin’s digital divide\, thanks to Austin Pathways.

However\, smart city solutions are relatively new\, complex\, and require detailed understanding of cities and issues. Solution providers frequently pitch their research and business ideas generically to many cities\, so city staff and civic organization leaders are used to hearing generic solutions about complex issues that are specific to their communities. \nAt the Austin Civic Solutions Reverse Pitch\, we are taking a new approach to better serve Austin. Government entities and civic organizations that serve Austin will share their top issues and desired outcomes so that solution providers—vendors\, researchers\, civic action groups\, etc.—can learn how to develop and tailor effective solutions to achieve these specific outcomes. The Civic Solutions Reverse Pitch – Part 1 featured presenters from the City of Austin\, Travis County\, Downtown Austin Alliance\, Austin Chamber of Commerce\, the Housing Authority for the City of Austin\, and Central Health. The Civic Solutions Reverse Pitch – Part 2 will feature presenters from the City of Austin\, Capital Metro\, Austin Energy\, and more. The full agenda will be available closer to the event date. \nThe Reverse Pitch events series is about understanding Austin civic issues and desired outcomes. We have a follow up event on November 12\, 2019 where solution providers will present\, discuss\, and demonstrate potential solutions to the top civic issues and priorities in Austin. At the Austin Civic Solutions Showcase and Expo solutions providers–vendors\, startups\, researchers\, and more–can present and demonstrate their solutions to achieve outcomes presented at the Civic Solutions Reverse Pitch Events and/or the strategic plans of civic service organization & government agencies (e.g.\, the Austin Strategic Direction 2023 report for the City of Austin). \nAt the Austin Civic Solutions Reverse Pitch – Part 2\, in addition to the Reverse Pitch presentations\, we will be hosting two workshops. \nWorkshop One – Funding & Business Model Tutorial for Sustainable Smart City Projects: from revenue sharing to crowd sourcing to grants to city funding to foundations and more—have been used to seed and sustain smart cities projects\, and this will help you decide which might apply to your projects \nWorkshop Two – Design Thinking Tutorial for Creating Smart City Projects: how to use design thinking to design a great project\, considering all stakeholders and implications\, and maximize chances for success \nFor updated information visit our website at austincityup.org/civicsolutionsreversepitch \nIf you are interested in presenting at the October 22nd Reverse Pitch or the November 12th Showcase & Expo please contact us at info@austincityup.org.
