Authors: Dr. Abhishek Mahesh Appaji & Dr. Ramya Hariharan Quality research is a necessity to prepare ourselves for the surprises hidden in the future. It goes without saying that a focused, superior quality research culture is the need of the hour. In particular, the scope for improving and channelizing academic research in developing countries should be analyzed. This book presents the authors’ viewpoints on the different elements that should be considered to build a competitive academic research culture in developing countries. The chapters in this book focus on the various factors that play a critical role in paving the way for quality research. The authors have also attempted to identify the best practices to improve research culture through funding, publications and collaborations that would aid academic researchers, particularly in developing countries, in building a strong research organization.

Having spent her early life half way around the world and in a different culture, author Liang Xi Downey shares with readers the varied set of life and professional experiences on her path. Her college education was in electrical and electronics engineering, but Downey’s career has been much broader than that. She is also experienced in sales, marketing and business development; worked on business and investment strategies for start-ups; in companies with only a few employees; and for major companies, such as IBM and General Motors. Downey came to know IEEE in in the late 1980s, while studying at Tsinghua University in Beijing. She quickly learned that "IEEE" represented technical authority and professional prestige. Downey is very active in both the IEEE Technology Engineering Management Society (TEMS) and IEEE Women in Engineering (WIE). She has had leadership positions in both for some years, on a global level. Her involvement has led to such cutting-edge initiatives as the IEEE Blockchain Future Initiative, and the IEEE Humanitarian Technology Challenge. Member: FREE Non-Member: $9.99 -

This e-book series, and this compilation of e-books, highlights the careers and accomplishments of women engineers. It demonstrates the challenges women face, and have faced, to have a career in engineering. As a profession, we need to encourage more women to pursue careers in technology--and bring their perspectives to the development of products engineers bring forward. We also need to develop the resources to assist them in progressing in their careers, while achieving a balanced life. The latter is something all engineers need to focus on, considering not just their work in technology, but also their families and communities. Member: FREE Non-Member: $9.99 -

Author Karen Pedersen approached writing this e-book as if she were talking to a young friend who is interested in becoming an engineer, or already studying engineering. In these pages, she offers the focal points of her career, and the lessons she has learned during her journey. Many of these lessons discuss how Pedersen handled difficult situations. She recognizes that some would have handled them differently. At the same time, Pedersen’s wish is that some of the thorny situations she ran into would have long disappeared from today’s workplace; however, she unhappily acknowledges that they do still exist. “We are all humans. We can change laws, but we cannot change how people think.” As you read Pedersen’s story, she hopes that you will take what helps you--and leave the other lessons for the next person who will read this book.
