YOU'RE INVITED!Join the IEEE Queen's Branch in welcoming Dr. Jawad Siddiqui from the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society to speak with students about new work in antennas for the space domain, as well as the opportunities available to students through the IEEE. All students are welcome!The talk will explore the evolving role of antenna technologies in modern space applications, with a particular focus on CubeSats and rocket platforms. It will discuss key challenges such as size constraints, thermal management, deployment mechanisms, and radiation effects, as well as emerging trends in adaptive, reconfigurable, and additive-manufactured antennas designed for the space environment. The presentation will also highlight opportunities for students and professionals to engage with the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society (AP-S), including the benefits of membership and participation in its SIGHT (Special Interest Group on Humanitarian Technology) initiatives that apply antenna and propagation technologies for societal impact. The speaker will welcome questions from the audience. The seminar will end with an interactive discussion with the speaker about opportunities for students in the IEEE. These include best practices for achieving funding awards through the IEEE, with a focus on the <a href="http://AP-S.Co-sponsored" target="_blank" title="AP-S.Co-sponsored">AP-S.Co-sponsored by: Abedal Rahman ShehabiSpeaker(s): Dr. SiddiquiRoom: 314, Bldg: Walter Light Hall, 19 Union St, Kingston, Ontario, Canada

What is 3-MUC?The 3-MUC gives undergraduate students a chance to share an interesting piece of work they have accomplished and practice their communication skills. It follows the scope of the 3 minute thesis style, but relaxes the requirement for novel research to allow a broader section of the undergraduate student body to participate. As a successful applicant, you will prepare a 3 minute presentation about your work. You are only allowed one slide to accompany your presentation as a visual aid. You will present your work to a panel of judges who will select three winners based on our judgement criteria. The winners are invited to the annual Kingston IEEE banquet dinner, where they will be awarded their <a href="http://prize.Who" target="_blank" title="prize.Who">prize.Who can apply?All undergraduate students who have an interesting piece of work to share. For example, summer research students, QUIP interns, design team members. By no means is that an exhaustive list.
