Mamiko Inamori, Chair for IEEE WIE Tokyo Shin-Etsu Joint AG
IEEE Tokyo/Shin-Etsu Joint Section WIE Kick-off event was held online on 5th December, 2020. The total number of participants was 34 including IEEE members. The keynote speaker was Dr. Haruko Kawahigashi from Mitsubishi Electric Corporation. In her talk titled “Communication Network Technology and Carriers,” she talked the audience through her work career and gave us tips on how to survive in the workplace. The audience was motivated and encouraged with her message of perseverance. “Do not think it’s your fault if something does not go well, sometimes you need to adjust your approach due to your environment!”
At the break-out room session, participants of various ages, from students to working professionals, exchanged their opinions about the image of engineers required now and the working style required in the future. In this event, high school and technical college students joined us and we were very happy to talk with young talents.
