6. IEEE Central Texas Section Workshop

7. IEEE Central Texas Section SWOT Analysis Strengths  Year-old chapter with enthusiastic officers! Weaknesses  Need more local speakers Opportunities  Local chip design and EDA companies, UT Austin  DAC 2013  Co-sponsor events with other chapters Threats  Differentiate with other parent societies/chapters

8. IEEE Central Texas Section Chapter Plans DAC 2013 publicity/promotional event. Two seminars have been planned for this year. Invite more speakers from local chip design and EDA companies  Synopsys, Intel, Freescale, Samsung, etc., Invite local speakers to present their DAC Designer/User Track submission Have a yearly DAC review Co-sponsor Distinguished Lectures with SSC or CAS Society iPhone App programming workshop (still in plan)
