Offshoring has been occurring in engineering professions for several years now. Figures indicate an increasing rate of engineering among jobs shifted to other regions in the world. Dr. Ron Hira of RIT stated in his presentation on this topic back in 2005 “Global Outsourcing of Jobs Exacerbates US Engineering...

When the world’s premier microwave event comes to Atlanta, GA, June 15 to 20, attendees will witness a very different event from the three-day National Symposium that met in San Diego, CA in May 1960 under the auspices of the Professional Group on Microwave Theory and Techniques (PGMTT). The...

It’s back! For the first time since the 2003 event in Philadelphia, Microwave Week—featuring the International Microwave Symposium (IMS), the RFIC Symposium and the ARFTG Conference—returns to a city east of the Mississippi. That’s right, the largest show dedicated solely to our industry will be held in Atlanta: home...

Atlanta in June is at its very best. The weather is great, it’s not too hot or too humid, the evenings are cool and the bugs (most of them) are still dormant. As you make your plans to attend IMS 2008 at the Georgia World Congress Center, build some...
