On 7th July, 2026, the IEEE NSU Student Branch WIE Affinity Group successfully completed the webinar titled “3D Technology Overview, 3D Integration and Die Stacking”, which was held online via Zoom. The purpose of the session was to provide participants with insights into advanced semiconductor technologies, 3D integration and heterogeneous integration solutions that are driving the future of AI hardware and computing systems. Dr. Celia Shahnaz, Professor, Dept. of EEE, BUET, and Chair, IEEE WIE Committee 2023-24, was also in attendance.
The event began with a warm welcome from the host, who briefly introduced the purpose of the session, before inviting the speaker, Dr. Mukta G. Farooq, an IEEE Fellow and IBM Distinguished Research Scientist, to take the floor. The speaker began her presentation with an introduction to Artificial Intelligence (AI) and High-Performance Computing (HPC), highlighting the growing hardware demands required to support modern AI applications. She then discussed advanced packaging technologies and introduced the concept of chiplets, explaining their importance in system optimization, cost efficiency, and overall performance. Moving forward, Dr. Farooq provided an overview of 3D integration for AI systems and discussed various design considerations. She elaborated on heterogeneous integration approaches, silicon interposers, and the middle-process method of 3D integration before introducing Through Silicon Via (TSV) technology and its key process considerations. Through practical examples and case studies, she demonstrated how 3D stacking enables high bandwidth, low latency and energy-efficient access to memory without compromising functionality. Concluding her presentation, Dr. Farooq emphasized that the increasing demands of AI workloads are accelerating the adoption of heterogeneous integration solutions and highlighted the advantages of 3D integration in achieving compact, high-performance and energy-efficient computing systems. She also expressed her gratitude to all those who contributed to making the session possible.
An interactive Q&A session followed the speaker’s presentation, during which participants had the opportunity to ask questions and engage in discussion. Afterward, the host presented a virtual token of appreciation to Dr. Mukta G. Farooq on behalf of the IEEE NSU Student Branch WIE Affinity Group. The Session Chair and Faculty Advisor, Ms. Reeshoon Sayera, then delivered the closing remarks, thanking the speaker and participants and encouraging everyone to continue learning and exploring new technologies. Following this, Dr. Celia Shahnaz briefly spoke about WIE Day 2026 and introduced several accomplished former students currently working as professionals in the USA. Finally, the event ended with a group screenshot.

On 6th July, the IEEE NSU Student Branch WIE Affinity Group successfully organized the talk titled “Technology with Purpose: Harnessing AI & Data in Industry to Innovate Responsibly, Inspire Globally, and Lead with Integrity" at North South University from 1 PM to 2:30 PM.

The event began with a warm welcome from the hosts, Shihab Sharar and Hafsa Khan, who gave a brief overview of IEEE, IEEE WIE AG, and the WIE Day 2026 celebration. They further elaborated on the event’s purpose and the importance of ethical innovation and requested the speaker to take the stage. The speaker introduced herself and shared her personal journey, from academic life to professional life, innovation, and artificial intelligence. She emphasized the importance of innovation with purpose in order to help people and make their lives easier, and showed a pipeline starting from identifying problems to creating solutions for them. Moreover, she explained finding purpose as an iterative process, where experience and reflection lead to improvement. The speaker then opened the floor to an interactive Q&A session and answered the participants’ questions. After this, the hosts thanked the speaker and asked the WIE Day Ambassadors to make a speech. Nusaiba Khan, a WIE Day Ambassador, gave a speech on WIE Day, its theme and importance, and the importance of women in STEM and their rights.

The hosts then requested Ms. Reeshoon Sayera, faculty advisor of the IEEE NSU SB WIE AG, to present the token of appreciation to the speaker. Finally, the event ended with a group photo and cake-cutting ceremony, signifying the end of WIE Day celebrations.

On 3rd July 2026, the IEEE NSU Student Branch Women in Engineering (WIE) Affinity Group, in collaboration with the IEEE NSU Student Branch, IEEE NSU PES Student Branch Chapter, IEEE NSU RAS Student Branch Chapter, and IEEE NSU IAS Student Branch Chapter, successfully organized the workshop "Technology with Purpose: Building Accessible Motion Capture Systems Using Low-Cost Microcontrollers" at North South University from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM.

The event began with a warm welcome from the hosts, Jasiya Mohayra and A.K.M. Mohiuddin Siddike, followed by an insightful session conducted by Mostakim Hossain, Former Vice Chair (Technical), IEEE NSU SB WIE AG. Participants explored the fundamentals of motion capture by building a DIY MoCap system using an ESP32 microcontroller and an MPU6050 accelerometer and gyroscope sensor. They also learned how motion data can be integrated into a web-based 3D environment using the Web Serial API, along with sensor calibration, data interpretation, and real-time motion visualization through interactive demonstrations and hands-on exercises.

The workshop enhanced participants' understanding of embedded systems, robotics, motion capture technology, and interactive application development while strengthening their practical problem-solving skills.

The event concluded with a closing speech by Farhana Rahman, Chairperson of IEEE NSU SB WIE AG, who thanked the instructor, participants, collaborating societies, Executive Body members, coordinators, and volunteers. As a token of appreciation, a crest was presented to Mostakim Hossain by Farhana Rahman, alongside Treasurer S.M. Tanvir Akram Prince and the coordinators. The workshop concluded with a group photograph and refreshments.
