Primary Purposes of the Branch as a Student
Organization:
Scientific and educational, directed to promote awareness about
cutting edge technology in the fields of electronics, communication, computers, and
related fields in engineering.
To associate with a worldwide organization, participate in its
activities, and assist the IEEE in its goal of scientific and educational advancement and
global prosperity.
To provide the student members with opportunities to develop
skills in leadership, in working as a group, and in effective communication.
To foster members with opportunities to interact with engineers
who have industry experience in the field, and to promote career opportunities.
To identify specific areas of research and interest.
Specific Goals of the Branch for the coming year:
- To develop members’ skills in technical writing and
presentation and research, by means of Technical Paper-Writing and Presentation
Contests.
- To promote industrial awareness, by means of Technical Tours.
- To involve student members in Design Contests and Projects to
further their skills in practical electronics and computer system designs.
- To introduce members to industrially experienced professionals by
way of Symposia, technical talks, and technical film shows.
- To explore career opportunities for budding engineers through
S-PACs.
- To promote other chapters of the IEEE, so that members with
similar fields of interest can interact, and learn skills.
Problems that are anticipated, which are to be
overcome to successfully run the Branch:
- Lack of Funds: we need the funds that IEEE HQ gives, to attempt
ambitious projects, or propose any major activity.
- A major problem that this branch encountered last year was that
the new members were sent their IEEE Identity Cards several months after the membership
dues had been sent to headquarters. This causes great inconvenience as we have no way in
which to determine the validity of their membership without it.
- Lack of ideas for activities, to keep members interested.
- Lack of Student Members.
