This document is to be available to anyone upon request. (download pdf)

IEEE, UCSD Student Branch’s role regarding projects is to help build leadership, teamwork, business, and networking skills with each project member as well as garnering public relations both on and off campus for the IEEE, UCSD brand. It is in the club’s interest to help support each project financially when necessary.
