This was an interview done to the NoticIEEEro magazine, providing some info about the YP South Brazil, my bio and some challenges and achievements done while being the Chair in YP.

The STEP Event organization team was motivated to obtain extraordinary results from the event. After all, an event well planned and done not only promotes the IEEE name, but also provides a unique experience to the enrolled people.

This year, UNESP Bauru Student Branch and Young Professionals South Brazil held the Student Transition and Elevation Partnership (STEP) event for the first time in the city of Bauru, with an interesting differential on the organization team: the presence of a… Mostrar más

In developing countries, like Brazil, it is common the activity of non-governmental organizations or local initiatives to meet social needs that the government is not able to provide. These initiatives, however, especially the smaller ones, operate without any advertising to report their activities or its existence, which makes hard to attract interested people. Thinking about this situation, we propose the development of an online platform to catalogue humanitarian projects, initially from… Mostrar más

In developing countries, like Brazil, it is common the activity of non-governmental organizations or local initiatives to meet social needs that the government is not able to provide. These initiatives, however, especially the smaller ones, operate without any advertising to report their activities or its existence, which makes hard to attract interested people. Thinking about this situation, we propose the development of an online platform to catalogue humanitarian projects, initially from within our university (UNESP Bauru) and expanding afterwards to our state (Sao Paolo). The platform will include a projects database, allowing periodic publication of information on ed projects. To fill this database initially, a survey of all existing humanitarian projects in the region will be made. These projects will have metadata like: keywords, sites of operation, type of activities and others, grouping them by categories. With those filters, interested people will be able to easily find the right humanitarian project to their interests or nearby their location, for example. The platform will allow communication and collaboration between volunteers, so that volunteers can keep being informed of current project activities, coordination for donations and partnerships, allowing people to interact in the various parts of these processes.

The demand for engineers has always been high in growing countries, however, the world's seventh largest economy, Brazil, is still far from being one of the places with highest development in engineering. Through the normal curricula, high school students often learn theory only and investment is not made in the practical part, as a consequence the interest in engineering is low.

The demand for engineers has always been high in growing countries, however, the world's seventh largest economy, Brazil, is still far from being one of the places with highest development in engineering. Through the normal curricula, high school students often learn theory only and investment is not made in the practical part, as a consequence the interest in engineering is low. Creating a design focused on the practical application of basic concepts of mathematics, physics and chemistry using simple materials and with an easy access to high school students is really important, as the goal is to get them interested in the field of science and technology and this action will improve their quality of life. The motivation and realization of an engineer will cause changes to society. The development of humanitarian engineering projects can help in the reduction of the number of social problems such as slums, sanitary issues - which are very common in global cities like São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro – and water shortage – this kind of problem happens in cities located in the Brazilian Northeast Region – as there isn’t a proper water distribution system.

This paper has the main objective to present an assessment of critical variables used in safety analysis of aircraft parallel approaches in CSPA (Closed Space Parallel Approach) concept, mapping the landing risk factors and the adopted technologies in CSPA. The CSPA concept involves a broad range of technologies and procedures to allow aircraft landings in runways whose minimum distances are between 750 and 4300 feet. In this set of technologies studied in this paper, there are: ILS, PRM, SOIA,… Mostrar más

This paper has the main objective to present an assessment of critical variables used in safety analysis of aircraft parallel approaches in CSPA (Closed Space Parallel Approach) concept, mapping the landing risk factors and the adopted technologies in CSPA. The CSPA concept involves a broad range of technologies and procedures to allow aircraft landings in runways whose minimum distances are between 750 and 4300 feet. In this set of technologies studied in this paper, there are: ILS, PRM, SOIA, RNP, ADS-B andSBAS alternatives. These sets of alternatives are mapped to risk factors, such as: aircraft positioning, communication errors, controller errors and pilot errors. After the mapping phase, its possible to extract the critical variables used in safety analysis for CSPA technologies. A discussion about this mapping, the CSPA options and their risk factors are made, along with an analysis about the use of these critical variables in modeling landing scenarios and their importance to construct generic models for safety analysis.

The main purpose of this paper is to propose a new model of safety evaluation to be used in technologies over the CSPA (Closed Space Parallel Approach) concept, presenting some safety models currently developed worldwide. The CSPA encomes a set of technologies in order to allow aircraft landings on parallel runways with the minimum distance of which is between 750 and 4300 feet. The use of CSPA technologies is an option to face the global growth in air traffic and has flexible and multiple ways to be implemented at airports. Some technologies used in CSPA and some aspects and criteria used in the proposed model analysis are also presented. Mostrar menos

From that comparison, some perspectives in the Brazilian scenario are discussed. The CSPA encomes a set of techniques and procedures in order to allow aircraft landings on parallel runways (even under adverse conditions of visibility); the runways must have a minimum distance between 750 and 4300 feet. The CSPA is an option to face the global growth in air traffic, has various ways to be implemented at airports and as a basis for discussing the use alternatives; its components and safety aspects are presented, along with criteria for comparative analysis, considering operational and deployment costs, complexity, deployment time and safety levels.
