The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) is the world’s largest professional association for the advancing of technology. The IEEE student chapter aims to prepare students to face challenges of the outside world and equip them with all the sufficient knowledge of their own field as well as being distinguished by their awareness of other fields’ progress and their ability to communicate with others. IEEE and its members encourage a global community through IEEE’s highly cited publications, conferences, technology standards, and professional and educational activities. The IEEE student section vision is a continuous, successful and productive student branch that holds new and innovative activities in both the scientific and social environments. Its mission is to be the definite article that merges all disciplines and activities into one big integrated multidisciplinary team of innovation and productivity.
