What are the benefits of joining the IEEE Student Branch?
Company Presentations We have corporate presentations nearly
every month. Technical companies send representatives to our meetings
to talk about the projects they work on. Often times the representatives
will stay after the meeting to answer questions and take
resumes. Faculty Presentations We bring in faculty members from South Alabama to talk about their research. This presents a great opportunity to make contact with the professors and get involved in faculty research projects. Leadership, School Involvement, and Networking Elections are held every year in April and everyone is encouraged to run for a position. We are always looking for additional help with the events we plan, so there are many opportunities to get involved whether or not you are an officer. Competitions and Regional Events IEEE is involved in a number of different regional competitions, scholarships, and events. Our student members are welcome to participate in any of these events. Social Activities Every semester we try to plan a few not-so-technical events, such as paintball outings, BBQ's, and more. Free Magazines Your IEEE Student Membership comes with subscriptions to Spectrum, an award-winning technical magazine, Potentials, which is published by students, and The Institute, an excellent monthly newsletter. Membership in a Professional Society You get the satisfaction and prestige of being involved with one of the largest IEEE Student Branch in the United States! Education and Career Development IEEE provides students with a chance to earn scholarships and to develop design and team management skills.
