STUDENT BRANCHES
An IEEE Student Branch provides opportunities to meet and learn from fellow IEEE Student and Graduate Student Members and engage with professional IEEE members locally. An active IEEE Student Branch can be one of the most positive elements of your academic career, offering programs, activities, and professional networking opportunities that build critical skills outside of the classroom.
Please, fill and email the respective files for updating the Student Branch and/or WIE Student Branch information. Please, email the updated files to webmaster.
