About IEEE

For the past 40 years, the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) has been the primary contributor to the advancement of technology throughout the world. Creating and innovating to accelerate society and business, the IEEE continues to propel technology with over 360,000 members within 175 countries globally.

The IEEE UCSD branch, like its parent organization, aims to push forth similar goals. We firmly believe in building a strong, tightly-knit community through:

• Fun social events
• Fostering the needs of the San Diego community with technology
• Bringing in professional guest speakers to gain insight into engineering careers
• Participating in national competitions and technical projects
• Serving and working together with the IEEE parent branch
• Collaborating with UCSD faculty and the engineering student council

By being involved with the IEEE, members will achieve their peak-potential, and discover their abilities to truly make a difference in their technical and surrounding communities. At the IEEE UCSD branch, we foster the growth of each individual so that ultimately, we all become better-enriched by one another. Members will:

• Strengthen and build personal networks and friendships
• Refine and shape their career goals
• Exercise technical engineering skills
• Get involved in a widely-spanned engineering community
• Serve their surrounding community

Through such an experience, members of the IEEE will not only benefit by the strength of their character, but also in the services and innovations they contribute to society.

The IEEE offers an array of endless possibilities in teamwork, leadership, networking, technical education and character building. Whatever career path you decide to choose, the IEEE provides infinite gateways to enrich your future.
