What is IEEE?
IEEE stands for Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. You might have used the IEEE citation style for your essay papers. In fact, IEEE is the world’s largest professional organization. IEEE is responsible for setting industry standards, hosting conferences and publishing research journal papers. There are currently 420,000+ members from 160 countries.
IEEE UofT Student Branch:
At IEEE UofT Student Branch, we provide technical and professional development opportunities in all STEM fields. We do so by helping students:
– Expand their professional and industry knowledge
– Improve their technical knowledge and skills
– Explore various career paths
– Establish professional connections
Annual Flagship Events:
– Technical Interview Night: Each September, we invite in engineers from software, hardware, and energy companies such as Google, Amazon, AMD, and Hydro One to help students prepare for technical interviews by providing mock interview opportunities, conducting resume reviews, and hosting company networking booths. Students can engage directly with working professionals and explore internship and full-time hiring opportunities.
– MakeUofT: Every spring, we invite in 250+ students from across Canada and beyond, from beginner to veteran hackers, to bring their electronics ideas to reality at our Major League Hacking (MLH)-affiliated makeathon (hardware and physical projects-focused hackathon). We provide industry mentors, UofT lab spaces, informative workshops, and all the hardware needed for hacking. Students have the opportunity to demo their creations to our industry partners at the final showcase and win cool prizes!
– NewHacks: NewHacks is IEEE UofT’s beginner friendly hackathon catered towards students with little or no hackathon experience. Students will be encouraged to learn by attending workshops and talking to mentors, getting hands-on with our selection of hardware and creating a project in 24 hours! NewHacks is a great starting event for passionate students who want to get creative with technology!
– In addition, we host numerous technical workshops throughout the year such to engage students in learning about topics like hardware/Arduino, Leetcode, CAD, Altium, ESP32 and much more!
