This research focuses on the approach adopted by a university of science and technology in Taiwan (hereinafter the university) to develop students’ employability indices and to explore the questionnaire analyses. The university developed the “Employability Map; E-Map” by weighting the learning hours, which was used to evaluate students’ various employability items over the course of their schooling. Considering it not so appropriate to use students’ credits on courses to be the standard of judgment, the Department of Computer Science & Information Engineering (hereinafter the department) proposed an innovative method to convert the E-Map of weighting by learning achievement to conduct assessments that is more reflection students' employability indices for graduate, and analyzed the questionnaires of alumni and their employers’ various core employability indices. From those questionaires, finding the graduating students and alumni are lack of self-confidentce. The statistical data shall serve as a reference for guiding students at course selection, as well as improving department courses and planning. Keywords: employability indices, employability map, learning achievement, learning portfolio.

Abstract   Faculty of Computer Science is one of the Faculty of the University of Lancang Kuning Pekanbaru, consists of 2 (two) study programs namely Information Systems and Informatics Engineering. Electronic Physics and Advanced Electronics is a compulsory subject for the students of Informatics Engineering Faculty of Computer Science. This course provides an understanding of electronics components. Theoretically, Informatics Engineering students have obtained material about the electronic component. However, the mastery of electronics is not separated by the process of practicum. The problem that occurs is the lack of mastery of electronics in practice. Currently, the practicum process has not been implemented and has an impact on the lack of students' ability in terms of electronics practice. Seeing these conditions then there should be efforts to equip students in the Information Engineering practically in the use of electronic components. One of the knowledge and skills is the use of electronics components in simple circuit is through the training of diode usage in rectifier circuit. The result of this community service activity is the participants' knowledge about electronic defenisi, 100% of participants already know it with 8% increase and the knowledge of electronic component from participant is increase 24%. The participants' knowledge about the use of diodes in the rectifier circuit is 72% and the participants already know the technique of electronic component soldering which is initially 24% and an increase of 76%.     Keywords— Electronics, diode, rectifier   Abstrak  Fakultas Ilmu Komputer adalah salah satu Fakultas di Universitas Lancang Kuning Pekanbaru, terdiri dari 2 (dua) program studi yaitu Sistem Informasi dan Teknik Informatika. Fisika Elektronika dan Elektronika Lanjut adalah mata kuliah wajib bagi mahasiswa Teknik Informatika Fakultas Ilmu Komputer. Mata kuliah ini memberikan pemahaman tentang komponen elektronika. Secara teoritis mahasiswa Teknik Informatika telah memperoleh materi tentang komponen elektronika tersebut. Namun, penguasaan ilmu elektronika ini tidak terlepas dengan adanya proses praktikum. Permasalahan yang terjadi adalah kurangnya penguasaan ilmu elektronika secara praktek. Saat ini, proses praktikum belum dilaksanakan dan berdampak kepada kurangnya kemampuan mahasiswa dari segi praktek elektronika.  Melihat kondisi tersebut maka haruslah ada upaya untuk membekali mahasiswa Teknik Informatika secara praktis dalam penggunaan komponen elektronika. Salah satu pengetahuan dan keterampilan adalah penggunaan komponen elektronika pada rangkaian sederhana adalah melalui pemberian pelatihan penggunaan dioda pada rangkaian penyearah. Hasil Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini adalah pengetahuan peserta tentang defenisi elektronika, 100% peserta sudah mengetahuinya dengan  peningkatan sebesar 8% serta pengetahuan komponen elektronika dari peserta terjadi peningkatan sebesar 24%. Peningkatan pengetahuan peserta tentang penggunaan dioda pada rangkaian penyearah sebesar 72% dan peserta sudah mengetahui teknik penyolderan komponen elektronika dimana awalnya 24% dan terjadi peningkatan sebesar 76%.   Kata kunci— Elektronika, Dioda, Penyearah

ABSTRACT Augusto Moreno is credited with establishing the first radiocarbon (14C) laboratory in Mexico in the 1950s, however, 14C measurement with the accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) technique was not achieved in our country until 2003. Douglas Donahue from the University of Arizona, a pioneer in using AMS for 14C dating, participated in that experiment; then, the idea of establishing a 14C AMS laboratory evolved into a feasible project. This was finally reached in 2013, thanks to the technological developments in AMS and sample preparation with automated equipment, and the backing and support of the National Autonomous University of Mexico and the National Council for Science and Technology. The Mexican AMS Laboratory, LEMA, with a compact 1 MV system from High Voltage Engineering Europa, and its sample preparation laboratories with IonPlus automated graphitization equipment, is now a reality.

Purpose – This article is a “Q&A interview” conducted by Joanne Pransky of Industrial Robot Journal as a method to impart the combined technological, business and personal experience of a prominent, robotic industry engineer-turned entrepreneur regarding the evolution, commercialization and challenges of bringing a technological invention to market. Design/methodology/approach – The interviewee is Dr Yoky Matsuoka, the Vice President of Nest Labs. Matsuoka describes her career journey that led her from a semi-professional tennis player who wanted to build a robot tennis buddy, to a pioneer of neurobotics who then applied her multidisciplinary research in academia to the development of a mass-produced intelligent home automation device. Findings – Dr Matsuoka received a BS degree from the University of California, Berkeley and an MS and PhD in electrical engineering and computer science from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). She was also a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Brain and Cognitive Sciences at MIT and in Mechanical Engineering at Harvard University. Dr Matsuoka was formerly the Torode Family Endowed Career Development Professor of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Washington (UW), Director of the National Science Foundation Engineering Research Center for Sensorimotor Neural Engineering and Ana Loomis McCandless Professor of Robotics and Mechanical Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University. In 2010, she joined Google X as one of its three founding members. She then joined Nest as VP of Technology. Originality/value – Dr Matsuoka built advanced robotic prosthetic devices and designed complementary rehabilitation strategies that enhanced the mobility of people with manipulation disabilities. Her novel work has made significant scientific and engineering contributions in the combined fields of mechanical engineering, neuroscience, bioengineering, robotics and computer science. Dr Matsuoka was awarded a MacArthur Fellowship in which she used the Genius Award money to establish a nonprofit corporation, YokyWorks, to continue developing engineering solutions for humans with physical disabilities. Other awards include the Emerging Inventor of the Year, UW Medicine; IEEE Robotics and Automation Society Early Academic Career Award; Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers; and numerous others. She leads the development of the learning and control technology for the Nest smoke detector and Thermostat, which has saved the USA hundreds of billions of dollars in energy expenses. Nest was sold to Google in 2013 for a record $3.2 billion dollars in cash.

It is my pleasant duty to welcome you all most warmly to this meeting, which is one of the many events stimulated by the advisory committee of the William and Mary Trust on Science and Technology and Medicine, under the Chairmanship of Sir Arnold Burgen, the immediate past Foreign Secretary of the Royal Society. This is a joint meeting of the Royal Society and the British Academy, whose President, Sir Randolph Quirk, will be Chairman this afternoon, and it covers Science and Civilization under William and Mary, presumably with the intention that the Society would cover Science if the Academy would cover Civilization. The meeting has been organized by Professor Rupert Hall, a Fellow of the Academy and also well known to the Society, who is now Emeritus Professor of the History of Science and Technology at Imperial College in the University of London; and Mr Norman Robinson, who retired in 1988 as Librarian to the Royal Society after 40 years service to the Society.
