At the outset of the event, Global chair of IEEE Women in Engineering and the past chair of IEEE Bangladesh Section Dr. Celia Shahnaz, professor at Department of EEE, Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET) talked about the enormous number of impactful activities of IEEE Women in Engineering in different universities, the journey and hard work of the group and the outstanding international achievements and recognitions the group has achieved, by working for women in the local and international community.

Government official and Deputy Secretary, Ministry of commerce, Sumoni Akter said that at the beginning of her career journey to till now being a woman she always tries to overcome stereotypes and thoughts while serving her duty.

From industry Deputy General Manager, Energypac Engineering, Ms Pramiti Alam said as an director of energypac engineering I used to work for our company when my child was only 2.5 months, so being a woman I have to struggle a lot but things are now changing. She also thanked her husband and family for staying beside her during the hard time.

Besides another panelist Anamika Bhakta, vice president of Robi Axiata Ltd, also said that some of the recent progress of Bangladeshi women is amazing. But still we are far behind the standard level of women empowerment.

“TENSYMP2020: THE 1ST VIRTUAL FLAGSHIP CONFERENCE OF REGION 10”

During the last phase of paper submission of TENSYMP2020 in the first half of March 2020, the whole world was facing a global COVID19 pandemic. In every aspect of life, there was an unprecedented change that halted all of our regular activities in every corner of the world. The fate of TENSYMP2020 became uncertain. The conference was scheduled to be held as a face-to-face conference at Pan Pacific Sonargaon Hotel, Dhaka, Bangladesh from 5^th to 7^th June 2020. But we, a very strongly motivated program committee, did not lose our hope. And behind us, we got tremendous support from our beloved technical communities. In spite of severe obstacles as a result of the Corona crisis, we received 1,030 valid submissions in 12 technical tracks involving 2,308 authors from 19 countries. These included 201 international papers. The magnitude of this massive enthusiastic submission from diversified geolocations is a clear indication of the preference of TENSYMP as a brand, as well as its 2020 organizers, namely IEEE Bangladesh Section and IEEE Region 10.

This special report is being written by Professor Dr. Shaikh A. Fattah, Technical Program Chair, IEEE TENSYMP2020.

You can read the whole report here online.
