IEEE Green Technologies Conference 2012

IEEE Green Technologies Conference and Region 5 Meeting and Student Activities, which will be held in Tulsa, Oklahoma, April 19-22, 2012.

IEEE-USA, Region 5, the Tulsa Section and the Oral Roberts University take great pride in sponsoring the 2012 Green Technologies Conference.

The IEEE Green Technologies Conference aims to bring together scientists, researches and practitioners from the industry around the world to develop realistic solutions to address the current energy crisis and to reduce carbon emissions and greenhouse gases. It also provides a platform for interdisciplinary interaction among scientists and engineering professionals, faculty and students.

Following the IEEE Green Technology Conference, IEEE Region 5 will host its annual business meeting and student competitions. The Student Paper Contest is a platform for students to submit and publish technical research papers for peer review. The student ethics contest challenges the students and helps them understand the boundaries of ethics in the electro-technical profession. Student teams participating in the student design contest have the opportunity to exercise their intellectual prowess to design a solution to a realistic problem presented to them at the beginning of the day. The student teams who have been working to develop robots will meet head-to-head in friendly rivalry at the robotics competition. The Oral Roberts University student branch will be hosting a Student Professional Awareness Conference.

The Region 5 Committee will meet on Saturday to conduct the business of the region and provide training to current and future IEEE volunteer leaders.
