This new IEEE-USA AI Policy Committee publication presents a flexible maturity model to improve AI governance, leveraging the NIST AI Risk Management Framework (AI RMF). The maturity model includes a questionnaire and a set of scoring guidelines. Key aspects of flexibility include multiple granularity levels for questions, modifications based on the life cycle stage of systems being evaluated (e.g., planning, data collection/model building, or deployment), and modifications based on whether an organization has multiple AI systems to evaluate.

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.

Author Alice F. Squires believes the desire to make a difference in the world follows us wherever we are. Her vision: “To be successful working together as a team of equals.” We are collaboratively working on products that will have an impact on the world, and will improve the lives of others. From working engineer--to educating the next generation of engineers in the classroom--she strives to inspire engineers, managers, technical leaders and others to work together to make the world a better place. Squires says her e-book has three purposes: First, to inspire young women and men to pursue their passion--whether in engineering, science, technology, mathematics, or another area. Second, to provide a glimpse into the life of a woman in engineering--the wonderful experience of contributing to society combined with the impact of choices--both good and bad; and the role of personal choice to change the situation, or accept the outcome. And third, to raise awareness of women's experiences in engineering toward a shared vision of gender parity--in a community whose members achieve and contribute to their full potential.

After a recent, three-year assignment on his alma mater’s engineering school advisory board, it became evident to author and educator Harry T. Roman that soon-to-be-graduating engineering students needed to be more aware of the world that awaits them. Engineering is so much more than simply mastering technical materials. Roman packs this e-book with tips and pointers for students and young professionals about the world of work, tempered with decades of experience in various IEEE assignments and professional activities--to help ease the transition from the world of books and courses to the globally competitive workforce. Many people (often other IEEE members and colleagues) helped him make this transition. He endeavors to pass along that help and wisdom to young IEEE members about to, or just making, the shift from school to first job.

Webster defines a consultant as “an expert who is called on for professional or technical advice or opinions.” This traditional view encompasses such professionals as doctors, lawyers, accountants, engineers and architects. The definition can also include business specialties, such as marketing, public relations, human resources, advertising, finance, regulations, operations, and more. The focus here is on how to become a small, independent consultant. Thinking about consulting, but not sure where to start? Already consulting, but need some advice? Maybe this e-book can help.

Each woman in this e-book, as in all of the IEEE-USA Women in Engineering e-books, is remarkable in her own way. Perhaps these examples of creativity and persistence in engineering are really those of diversity, and inclusion of mindsets that help define the society we live in. These outstanding women are certainly examples to follow--for both men and women--along the path to becoming current and future engineers and technologists. The narratives inspire one to take the roads less followed, only dreamt of, and never acted upon--no matter one's gender, ethnic background, or sexuality. Member: FREE Non-Member: $9.99
