Reliability Society Outreach in Chengdu, China
Dr. Steven Li (Member of RS Administrative Committee and Assistant Professor of Western New England University), Dr. Min Xie (Associate Dean (Internationalization) of College of Science and Engineering at City University of Hong Kong and RS members), and Dr. Eric Wong (Editor-in-Chief of IEEE Transactions on Reliability and Professor of the University of Texas at Dallas) visited Chengdu, China from March 11 to 18 to meet with RS members in the local area. In addition to technical seminars, a roundtable discussion was also held with faculty from University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC), Sichuan University, and engineers from industry to explore the possibility of establishing an RS Chapter in Chengdu. Responses from the attendees were very positive. Ongoing effort has been undergoing since then to recruit more RS members and collect enough signatures to sign a petition which is to be submitted around this coming September. The following are photographs taken during the visit to UESTC.
We give special thanks to Professor Yuanshun Dai, Dean of School of Computer Science & Engineering at UESTC, and Professor Qiang Miao of School of Aeronautics and Astronautics at Sichuan University for their strong support and great hospitality to make this visit very successful. |
