WIE MEMBER PROFILE
Nadia Zabehi
Engineer
Telecommunications and Networking
Why did you become a technical professional?
My dad was an entrepreneur and innovator who first produced heavy machines to
form the irons and plastic in Iran. This is 30 years ago. He died in an accident when I
was 7 however left a strong will for being a true human being, with urge or innovation
and systematic thinking in my mind and heart.
Planning my professional life ahead, I decided to pursue mathematics and physics in
high school and computer engineering and telecommunication in my higher
education, knowing the importance of technology in shaping the future of the
societies.
What information or advice would you like to pass on to young girls interested
in STEM?
I would like to share my unique story (a woman in engineering born and raised in
Iran, with international industrial and academic experience) to the young women who
like to see where this can take them regardless of where they stand now.
How does your work as a technical professional benefit humanity?
I work in telecommunication and networking which is now the key area in telemedicine, e-commerce, education and e-learning, e-government and connecting
everything in a networked society. Telecommunication and Networking is shaping our
life style, our psychology and definitions of being and what we perceive as society as
well as our governments and the international community.

Engineers Wanted: Help Organizations
Create Apps to Further Their Missions.
Want to do your part in helping organizations
change the world? As part of its commitment to the
Clinton Global Initiative (CGI), IEEE will be launching
App-E-Feat, a website that will help organizations that
lack the resources develop mobile applications that will
help collect data to help further their missions.
IEEE Fellow Karen Panetta is leading this initiative that
will match engineers with organizations that need
assistance in creating their mobile app. Your expertise
in developing and/or adapting open source code will help
the organizations advance their missions through a
digital platform.
Interested? Fill out a quick, online form.
(http://st.appefeat.org/engineers.html) We will contact
you when further details are available.
Questions? Contact [email protected]
Social Media Content: Engineers/ Members. Help us
develop mobile applications that solve world problems!
Visit AppEFeat.org/engineers.html to learn more about
how you can work with the IEEE, Clinton Global Initiative
and other organizations to improve the world we live in.
Applauding 50 Years of Fellows. In 2014, IEEE
will mark its 50th Fellow Class. It represents decades of
honoring IEEE Fellows whose extraordinary
accomplishments have changed the world.
The IEEE grade of Fellow was born in 1964 out of the
merge of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers
(AIEE) and the Institute of Radio Engineers (IRE). The
emphasis on the elevation was and still is reserved for
select IEEE members who have engineering, science,
and technology, bringing the realization of significant
value to society.
Only one-tenth of one percent of the total voting
membership can be elevated in any one year. Over the
last fifty years, IEEE has elevated roughly 10,000
members to this honor. This is a very small percentage
compared to the total membership. Unquestionably,
Fellows are the crown jewels of the organization. One
can only imagine what the next fifty years will bring, and
the new technology that will be developed, discovered,
or taught, and what new IEEE Fellows will be recognized
for their achievements.
Throughout the year, various celebrations will take place
to honor those who have achieved this distinction. If you
know an IEEE Fellow, congratulate him/her again for
receiving this honor. You can recognize them
personally, or you can acknowledge them publicly at
region meetings, society meetings, section meetings,
and/or conferences. -- Submitted by Rosann Marosy

Introducing/ the IEEE ResumeLab. IEEE
ResumeLab is designed with a series of modules that
assist the member through the employment
process. Key modules and their features include:







Resumes - Select from a wide array of
templates geared toward specific industries,
sectors and work experience stages.
Letters - From cover letter to post-interview
thank you letter, ensure optimal communication
throughout the hiring process.
Skills Assessment - Highlight the skills that you
possess, your competency in those skills, and
what makes your experience with these skills
unique.
Mock Interviews - Prepare for the real thing by
selecting an interviewer and the type of
questions they’ll ask. Choose to record your
interview for evaluation and feedback.
Video Resumes - Record custom video
messages for potential employers.
Portfolios - Upload and organize your past work
to present to potential employers.
Share Online – Publish and share everything
you create on a publicly viewable website.
Professionals can prepare for the important interview by
utilizing the Mock Interview module. And Mid-Career
Members can record their specific skills and level
expertise with the Skills Assessment module. Come to
IEEE ResumeLab today and get started! ResumeLab
has something for each phase of a member’s
career. Students putting together their first resume for
their internship can use the Resume module. Young
Professionals can prepare for the important interview by
utilizing the Mock Interview module.
New Fellows Directory. New to the Fellow Web
Site is the redesigned Fellows Directory. It is the most
comprehensive online search and networking tool
available to members. If you need to complete an IEEE
Fellow these categories, members can search, sort, or
run a filter. For example, a report can be compiled on all
Fellows within a specific region elevated in a particular
year. The directory allows members to view the profiles
of Fellows plus the ability to network with the Fellows. If
you are not an IEEE member, you will have limited
access to certain information. Nomination, gather
information for a region, section, or society, it’s now easy
to accomplish.
The information in the directory can be accessed by six
categories: alphabetical by last name, year elevated,
gender, IEEE region, IEEE society, and deceased.
Check it out today. The directory works on handheld
devices and computers. To access the directory, go to
www.ieee.org/fellows, then click the Fellow Directory
icon. -- Submitted by Rosann Marosy

Jack and the Beanstalk: A Mathematical Adventure App (Is LIVE on the App Store). “Jack and the
Beanstalk: a Mathematical Adventure” is intended for students from kindergarten to 3 rd grade. Children can learn and practice
math as they join Jack on an epic adventure, which unfolds one step at a time. Mathematical activities unfold along the way
and are presented as an entertaining part of the story. The storybook app works on iPhone and iPad.
By solving the math problems, players help Jack overcome obstacles in his path. Each activity is appropriate for a youngster
learning math, and provides valuable practice with reading, counting money, telling time, and recognizing shapes. Even the
educational
presentation
itself
is
entertaining,
filled
with
colorful
graphics
and
illustrations.
Children can use the app on their own or in the classroom. It is available on the iTunes app store at:
