IEEE S-PAC (Student Professional Awareness Committee)
on Tuesday April 5th at 4:30, Location TBA, hosted by Computer
Society.
S-PACs are an effective vehicle to transmit the
professional awareness that enhances the technical
education students receive in school. S-PACs are structured events
where students listen to experienced engineers from diverse
backgrounds discuss topics from six critical categories. Students
have a chance to interact with the speakers, usually through a
roundtable discussion.
Our presenter for the event is Mr.
Bala Prasanna who will be presenting his topic of "Working in the
21st Century - Essential Skills to Survive & Thrive in present Day
Workplace.": Workplace habits and expectations have changed
significantly in the last few years. Surviving and thriving depends
on your ability to grasp the broader picture and adopt while being
aware and honing some essential skills. Topics of discussion include
- handling a round-the-clock job; setting aside think place/think
time regularly, training a back-up; playground vs. battleground
attitude/aptitude; finding & developing sweet spot of issues for
resolution; managing your boss (Yes!), managing
relationships(creating your angels), think as a manager; become
aware of business control requirements of your employer ("I am just
technical, don't bother me with bureaucratic processes/" will not
cut any more!), metrics imperatives of modern businesses; handling
personal vs. professional attitudes/opinions; some habits of
successful people; talents vs. skills (recognize & use your talents
- it is a gift you have), skills - train to acquire necessary
skills; productivity tracking ,customer/vendor relationships;
seeing or seeking comfort in spiritual or philosophical terms.

ACM's website for practitioners has launched a new online
programming contest based on the annual ACM International Collegiate
Programming Competition (ICPC). The challenge follows last year's
successful event, and is open to all. The acmqueue ICPC Challenge
closes at midnight Greenwich Mean Time on February 6, 2011.
The new acmqueue programming contest features a game called
Icy Projectile Challenge, which invites participants to
code "players" in C++, C#, Java, or Python to compete against other
programmers using source code only, no executables. Players have one
month to develop their players, and can compete against preliminary
players, checking for nightly updates of standings.
A double elimination tournament follows the coding phase to
determine the top four places.
To participate, register for a free
ACM Web account.
