The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc. (IEEE) was founded in 1884 with Alexander Graham Bell and Thomas Edison among its charter members. Today, the IEEE serves over 360,000 members who are geographically organized into 10 Regions, over 300 Sections, and more than 1,400 Student Branches, 385 Student Branch Chapters of technical societies and 60 Women in Engineering Student Branch Affinity groups worldwide. A Student Branch further falls under the auspices of the local Section. Over 60,000 Student members worldwide make up 13% of the membership of the IEEE and are essential to the continued growth and vitality of the IEEE. Over 50% of the current IEEE members joined as students. Not only is the IEEE the world's largest technical and professional society, it is also publishes 30% of the electrical engineering and computer science literature in the world.
The IEEE's worldwide membership is geographically divided into ten Regions. These regions are further subdivided into Sections that serve as the centers of activity for professional engineers at the local level. Your Student Branch further falls under the auspices of your local Section.
This workbook is designed to guide you in your activities at the Student Branch level. It covers Branch Administration, Branch Operations, Membership, Fundraising, Professional Awareness Activities, and Time Management. It is meant to be a reference tool and should be made available to everyone who is interested.
It is our intention to update this workbook annually and to distribute it at the IEEE Regional Student Branch Leadership Workshops. If you have any comments or ideas on how to improve this workbook, please forward them to the IEEE Student Services Department (mailto: student-services@ieee.org, your Regional Student Representative (RSR) or your Regional Student Activities Chair (RSAC) whose addresses can be found in Appendix A.
