Why is an IEEE Student Branch beneficial?

ieee

      A Student Branch gives students the opportunity to meet and learn from fellow students, as well as faculty members and professionals in the field. An active IEEE Student Branch can be one of the most positive elements in a department offering different programs in IEEE designated fields of Engineering, Computer Science and Information Technology and others as listed at
http://www.ieee.org/designatedfields.

     IEEE Student Branches are established at over 1,400 universities and colleges throughout the world. Student Branch activities offer numerous educational, technical, and professional advantages of IEEE membership through special projects, activities, meetings, tours and field trips. Listed below are some programs and projects that keep students interested in the Branch and its activities and their chosen profession: participation in regional conferences, leadership training workshops and develop leadership, interpersonal and team building skills.

  • participation in awards, scholarships and project/design programs and student paper contests
  • establishment of a Student Branch Library with IEEE's publications
  • access IEEE online services and resources
  • establish a web site

     Seminars with guest speakers, who are professionals working in the field, enable students to enhance their knowledge outside the classroom. Joint seminars let students meet and talk with other interested students. Student Professional Awareness Conferences (S-PACs) help increase awareness of professional issues such as ethics, continuing education, and communication skills. The Student Professional Awareness Venture (S-PAVe) program gives teams of IEEE Student members the opportunity to develop project proposals to increase professional awareness and receive funding to implement the project. The IEEE also sponsors Regional Student Paper contests with cash awards in each of the ten Regions and promotes outstanding student and faculty counselor recognition award programs.
