The Student Chapter of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) is your gateway to professional development.  Every ECE student should become a member of the IEEE and take advantage of the educational, career, and technical benefits that are available to you.  The IEEE Student Chapter is sponsored by Dr. Li Bai and supervised by officers elected yearly from the student members.  The IEEE Student Chapter sponsors technology and career lectures, participates in the Student Professional Awareness Conference (S-PAC), and has hosted the Philadelphia regional MicroMouse Contest.  Check the Calendar for upcoming Departmental and IEEE events.

For more information about student membership in the IEEE, see a Chapter officer in Room 705, the IEEE at www.ieee.org/membership/students or the IEEE Student Chapter website.
