Electric Vehicles and Safe Software at TCF 2023

Feb. 16, 2023

Join Bill Wong and Lee Goldberg at the Trenton Computer Festival.

If you’re in the Trenton area on March 18, 2023, then join us at the College of New Jersey campus for the 47^th annual Trenton Computer Festival (TCF). Lee Goldberg will be the keynote speaker with a talk on evolving EVs. Lee is a contributing editor with Electronic Design and is author of the popular PowerBites series.

I have two presentations in the works at TCF. One is on science fairs and competitions, where I’ll be wearing my Mercer Science and Engineering Club hat talking about the different types of competitions, like the Mercer Science and Fair (see figure), and the challenges of running them. The other talk will center around writing bug-free code. If that’s a topic of interest, then also check out the Creating Bug-Free Software editorial webinar on February 17, 2023.

The annual Mercer Science and Engineering Fair is over 60 years old. It’s normally held in person like shown here, but due to COVID-19, it’s been virtual for the last three years.

If you can’t attend, I’m planning to have recordings of Lee’s and my TCF presentations available on Electronic Design a week after the event.

I earned a Bachelor of Electrical Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology and a Masters in Computer Science from Rutgers University. I still do a bit of programming using everything from C and C++ to Rust and Ada/SPARK. I do a bit of PHP programming for Drupal websites. I have posted a few Drupal modules.

I still get a hand on software and electronic hardware. Some of this can be found on our Kit Close-Up video series. You can also see me on many of our TechXchange Talk videos. I am interested in a range of projects from robotics to artificial intelligence.
