THE SAN DIEGO ADVANTAGE
The IEEE Consultants’ Network of San Diego (IEEE/CNSD) is comprised of independent technology consultants who are specialists in all forms of electronics, communications, chip design, computer software, defense technology, electro-mechanical hardware, power systems, new product development, quality assurance, reliability, technology management, business consulting, business development, and intellectual property law.
Because San Diego is considered a world center for Aerospace, RF, Defense and Communications Systems technology, you’ll find a number of our members are conversant in these areas.

SD IEEE Consultants’ Network: September 2025 Meeting (“Away Game”)
Cheers Oceaneers!
This month we will join our sister society IEEE -Oceanic Engineering Society for their monthly “blue tech” happy hour “Cheers Oceaneers”, which is a monthly get together for:
(1) IEEE Oceanic Engineering Society (OES), San Diego Chapter,
(2) The Maritime Alliance (TMA) and
(3) Marine Technology Society (MTS).
They meet monthly for networking and friendly conversation about everything oceanic engineering, science, Blue Tech, and more. No need to be an IEEE or OES member, or TMA, or MTS.
This month, they will have their big event of the year at a special location – the Maritime Museum of San Diego!
Many thanks to Dr. Christina Connett Brophy, President and CEO of the Maritime Museum of San Diego for graciously offering the venue to our group! We plan to hold the main presentation aboard the Steam Ferry Berkeley, and then afterwards, we will move over to the Star of India for the “after party” to continue our networking and conversations about all things that are ocean and tech related. Dr. Connett Brophy will also be one of our main presenters for this event.
In addition, we will have Greg Murphy, Coastal Resilience Lead at Fugro, giving us a technical presentation about his and his company’s ventures. Greg is also on the Board of Directors for the Maritime Museum, so we have a lot of content overlap for this event – history and future Blue Tech come together!

The network is rebuilding after the pandemic. There are lots of ways to participate. We have many events throughout the year scheduled. Anyone is welcome at our events. If you are looking to hire a consultant send us a detailed description of the expertise you are looking to find and we will try and match one of our members to your needs. If we do not have someone with the expertise you need, we may be able to help you find the expertise somewhere else in other IEEE Consultants’ Networks.
