IEEE Lebanon Section

The IEEE Lebanon Biomedical Student Competition (LBSC 2021) serves as a catalyst for the evolution of Biomedical Engineers in Lebanon. Students from various educational institutes will have the chance to demonstrate their projects, achievements, and most importantly their acquired skills in relation to all areas of Biomedical Engineering. LBSC proposed by the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society Lebanon Chapter will be organized by the Islamic University of Lebanon at Werdanyeh Campus on Friday August 6, 2021. Engineers and Scientists from different Lebanese Universities are invited to submit their applications forms by August 6, 2021. These applications should be submitted to the contact persons listed below. A scientific committee will review all submitted applications to select the best projects to be presented in the competition. Each university proposes the best final year projects in the area of biomedical engineering and all related areas. LBSC2021 will take place on Friday, August 6, 2021 at the faculty of engineering, Islamic University of Lebanon, Werdanyeh Campus. LBSC2021 program will include a plenary speech by an invited speaker about innovation in the area of biomedical engineering. The competition will include a keynote lecture related to advanced research in Biomedical Engineering. Each group will have a ten minutes presentation about their project's main ideas and novel components. Then, all groups will display posters and live demonstrations of the projects will be in the exhibition for a committee to evaluate. At the end of the competition, valuable awards will be distributed to the best top teams.

Dear Colleagues, Students and Friends, On behalf of the IEEE Lebanon Joint Chapter (IE13/PE31/CAS04/PEL35) and CAS Egypt chapter, you kindly invited to attend the 1st CAS-IF summer-1 “CAS Emerging and Selected Topics for Industry Forums” on Saturday August 7, 2021 from 10:45 am till 5:00 pm Beirut Time. (https://ieee-cas.org/) is continuing its “CAS Emerging and Selected Topics for Industry Forums” (CASIF) program on emerging and cross-discipline topics, where industrial speakers describe real-world challenges, and academic speakers describe potential technologies that could address those challenges. The theme of this CASIF is “Rapid Development of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Electronic Systems and IoT technologies”. The objective of this CASIS Summer-1, 2021 is to share the latest topics in the areas related to Circuit and System. CASIF Summer-1, 2021 aims to provide opportunity for students (undergraduates and graduates) to attend and interact with scientists, engineers in the research community and industry. It is a major international forum for researchers, scientists, educators, students and engineers from the industries to share their latest findings in circuits and systems related to AI and IoT. This 1st CASIF will explore the following Topics: - Computer vision for Autonomous Driving((https://attend.ieee.org/casif-sumi-2021/key-note-speakers/), Valeo Group) - Bringing intelligence to the edge with Arm CPUs((https://attend.ieee.org/casif-sumi-2021/key-note-speakers/), ARM Company) - Future of Automotive((https://attend.ieee.org/casif-sumi-2021/key-note-speakers/), Bright skies Company) - Artificial Intelligence of Things: The Opinion of Things((https://attend.ieee.org/casif-sumi-2021/key-note-speakers/), GUC) Kindly, visit this link to register: https://cutt.ly/7mDPCoX (Virtual/Physical Attendees). Please note that places are limited to 50, send an email to akassem@ndu.edu.lb to reserve your place for the physical attendees. The distance between attendees will be respected due to the COV-19 pandemic.
