How to Write a Paper for Journals and Navigate the Review Process

The careers of many people depends on their success in writing and getting their papers published. More important, the scientific process requires that scientific findings be published so that other researchers may build on your ideas or refute your findings. If authors are not able to publish their papers, then their careers are hurt and scientific progress slows and stops. Therefore, it is critical that researchers and engineers understand the process of writing and getting published their papers in reputable and cited journals and scientific conferences. However, often, authors’ papers are rejected because they did not understand what reviewers, Associate Editors, and Editors are looking for in a paper, even if the technical results are good.

This presentation will cover the steps that an author should take to increase the acceptance rate of their papers in journals and conference. It will cover the reasons most papers are rejected and how an author should organize their paper to avoid those reasons. Lastly, it will present what steps you should take if your paper is rejected to get it published in the same journal or in a different journal.

A 1-day career management seminar developed by the IEEE-USA Career & Workforce Policy Committee and IEEE-USA Employment & Career Services Committee. See more information in the attached flyer.

Guest Speaker-----Dr. Hanz Richter
Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering
Cleveland State University

In this talk, a limit management control arrangement using min-max logic is discussed. The min-max arrangement is commonly used in aeronautical gas turbine engines. The properties and shortcomings of the min-max logic are discussed and a new approach is proposed involving sliding mode controllers. The proposed control technique has guaranteed stability and does not introduce any conservativeness associated with constraint enforcement, representing a significant improvement over existing methods. The validity of the proposed technique is demonstrated with high-fidelity nonlinear engine simulations using NASA's CMAPSS package.

As the state of the economy continues to weigh heavily on our minds, we as leaders must continually adjust to current realities while preparing for future market conditions.
• Is your company positioned to win?
• Are your systems, processes and people calibrated to address current market circumstances?
To thrive, now more than ever, you need a vision for success and execution of an operational strategy that delivers sustainable improvements now and in the future.

Cleveland State University's Fenn College of Engineering students are organizing an event focused on developing networking skills. As you know, this training and experience is very valuable to students for their future and complements their academic and communication skills training.

In the past, many industrial leaders were able to participate in this program and their help was greatly appreciated by the students. This year, students need your support once again.

Microelectromechanical Systems (MEMS) applications in RF and microwave electronics are on the verge of revolutionizing wireless communications. In this tutorial we discuss the fundamentals of this exciting technology, potential pitfalls to be encountered, and typical applications where MEMS is expected to make the greatest impact in RF/microwave circuits and systems. In particular, the ability of MEMS’ fabrication techniques to enhance the performance of passive components, e.g., capacitors, inductors, transmission lines, and switches, is addressed, and a number of potential wireless system opportunities, namely, wireless transceivers, routing networks, and tracking antennas for mobile multimedia communications, awaiting the maturation of MEMS, are discussed.
