The inaugural IEEE Energy Conversion Congress and Exposition (ECCE) will be held in San Jose, California, USA, September 20-24, 2009. This new conference combines the former IEEE Power Electronics Specialists Conference (PESC) with the technical sessions of the Industrial Power Conversion Systems Department (Electrical Machines Committee, Industrial Drives Committee, Industrial Power Converter Committee and the Power Electronics Devices and Components Committee) of the IEEE Industry Applications Society Annual Meeting. 

Tutorial Topics of Interests:
 “Tutorials are invited on topics falls in the scope of the ECCE. The scope of the congress include all technical aspects of the design, manufacture, application and marketing of devices, components, circuits and systems related to energy conversion, industrial power conversion and power electronics.”

All tutorials are of 3.5 hours duration planned to be held on Sunday, September 20, 2009. Deadline for Submission of Tutorial Proposals is February 15th, 2009. Notification that a tutorial proposal was accepted or declined will be emailed no later than March 15th, 2009. Presentation materials in final camera-ready form will be due no later than July 15th, 2009.

Tutorials in ECCE’09 are three and one-half hours (with breaks) in length; the tutorials will be given during the morning and afternoon of Sunday, September 20th, 2009. Each tutorial registrant is free to attend any tutorial and will get a copy of all tutorial notes.

• An abstract of no more than 200 words describing what is to be presented including whether the topic will be treated in-depth or as a survey, and the level of the intended audience (entry level, intermediate, or advanced). This abstract should be in a form suitable for publication in the ECCE 2009 advance program.
• A detailed topical outline of three to five double-spaced pages including the estimated time for each major topic.
• A one page biography or resume of each speaker.
• upon approval of the authors, each tutorial will be digitally recorded

Members of the ECCE 2009 Conference and Program Committees review tutorial proposals. Tutorials are selected based on quality and consistent with the overall conference topics. This often means some high-quality tutorial proposals are declined.

Compensation for tutorial speakers includes an honorarium of $1500. In the case of multiple speakers for one tutorial, the honorarium must be shared among the speakers. All tutorial speakers must register and are responsible for their own expenses of preparing and presenting the tutorials, including all travel, lodging, and meals.
