Join UBC IEEE for a Lunch & Learn with Matthew Zieleman, an Embedded Software and Electrical Engineer at MDA Space and UBC Engineering Physics alumnus. Matthew will share his career journey across multiple industries (from automotive and power systems to energy, medical robotics, and now space) highlighting the lessons he learned at each stage and what he wishes he had known as an undergraduate. In the second half of the talk, he’ll discuss his current work on Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellites at MDA Space and share insights into the space industry. This is a great opportunity to hear honest career advice, learn about real-world engineering paths, and ask questions about working in space and advanced technology <a href="http://sectors.Data" target="_blank" title="sectors.Data">sectors.Data and Time: February 13, 2:00–3:00 PMLocation: TBD (confirmed based on registration)Please register in advance so we can plan <a href="http://accordingly.Vancouver" target="_blank" title="accordingly.Vancouver">accordingly.Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada

Electric motors and variable frequency drives (VFDs) are critical assets in industrial facilities, driving pumps, fans, compressors, and other essential equipment. Yet, many plants still rely on time-based maintenance practices that fail to detect early warning signs of failure. This presentation introduces a condition-based monitoring (CBM) strategy designed to enhance motor reliability, reduce downtime, and improve energy <a href="http://efficiency.The" target="_blank" title="efficiency.The">efficiency.The session will explore how vibration analysis and power quality monitoring can be combined to identify common motor issues such as unbalance, misalignment, bearing wear, and harmonic distortion before they lead to unplanned outages. Attendees will learn practical steps to implement CBM programs, including sensor selection, data collection, fault pattern interpretation, and maintenance <a href="http://decision-making.The" target="_blank" title="decision-making.The">decision-making.The presentation will reference key industry standards, including IEEE 519, IEEE 841, and ISO 10816, and highlight emerging opportunities to leverage IoT edge technology for real-time insights.
