The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) is the world's largest technical professional society. Founded in 1884, today's institute includes 46,000 students within a total membership of over 300,000. To realize the objectives of advancing the theory and practice of electrical, electronics and computer engineering and computer science, the IEEE sponsors nearly 800 student branches worldwide, as well as scholarships and awareness programs, technical confrerences, symposia and local meetings. The active IEEE student Chapter at Gannon University holds regular meetings and sponsors special seminars and tours. All electrical engineering students are invited to attend and encouraged to join the IEEE at special student rates. As an IEEE student member, journals and activities will provide you with state-of-the-art technical information, expose the student to the latest trends in industry and help make important personal contacts with working engineerts. It also offers the opportunity to develop personal communication skills needed to be successful in today's complex work environment.
