IEEE Educational Activities Launches New Academic Portal
The IEEE Educational Activities Department is pleased to announce the launch of their latest portal, Accreditation.org. This online resource, developed as a joint effort by IEEE and IBM, will provide the worldwide public with a comprehensive tool to search for accredited academic programs in the fields of engineering, engineering technology and computing. It will also serve as a valuable one-stop resource to practitioners of engineering, technology and computing; students, teachers and administrators of education programs in these fields; and decision makers in government, industrial and private organizations who are interested in finding out more information on accreditation topics. Accreditation.org is poised to serve as the ultimate resource on engineering, engineering technology and computing education accreditation. Visit Accreditation.org

New Expert Now Course Deals with Space-Time Processing for Radar
Be sure to tell your researchers, teachers and students about the latest course addition to the IEEE Expert Now collection. "Space-Time Adaptive Processing for Radar" by Michael L. Picciolo and Scott Goldstein, sponsored by the IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society, focuses on state-of-the-art STAP techniques that address many of the limitations of traditional (ideal) STAP solutions offering insight into future research trends. This course will develop and clearly illustrate the GMTI problem from first principles, showing the need for STAP processing. Traditional STAP processing solutions will be derived from a detection probabilistic perspective—the most pertinent metric for radar.
More information about this course—and IEEE Expert Now, the online education resource that provides the latest information on emerging technologies—can be found on the IEEE Expert Now Web site. Flexible pricing is now available for any size organization! Learn more
