RDA 2018 - IEEE international Women in Engineer (WIE) Conference on Electrical and Computer Engineering

The EE-KU is celebrating fitty yearsleading center of teaching and research in electrical related technology and innovation. To celebrate the 50th anniversary in 2019, EE-KU will host a major conferment earlier at the end this year (14-16 December 2018).
The department in collaboration with IEEE Bangladesh and IEEE Thailand Section is organizing the 4th IEEE international Women in Engineer (WIE) Conference on Electrical and Computer Engineering (WIECON-ECE). The conference will be held in Pataya, Chonburi, Thailand on 14-16 December 2018. The conference aims at bring together leading academic researchers and research scholars to exchange and share their experiences and research results on all aspects of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. It also provides an interdisciplinary platform for researchers, practitioners and educators to present and discuss the most recent innovations, trends, and concerns as well as practical challenges encountered and solutions adopted in the fields of Electrical and Computer Engineering. With the view to encourage participation of women scholars, each paper should have at least one female author.
The first IEEE WIECON-ECE was held in 2015 at Dhaka, Bangladesh and the second one was held at Pune, India. IEEE WIECON-ECE 2015 was organized by IEEE Bangladesh Section and its WIE Affinity Group.
