What is IEEE?
IEEE Stands for Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. You might have used IEEE Citation Style for your essay papers. In fact, IEEE is 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:
IEEE UofT has been serving students in the field of Electrical and Computer Engineering for more than 50 years. Here at UofT, our Student Branch provides technical and professional development opportunities in computer engineering and electronics engineering. 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: Every September, we invite in engineers from software, hardware, and energy companies such as Google, Amazon, AMD, and HydroOne to help students prepare for technical interviews by conducting an interview workshop and providing mock interview opportunities. Students can also network with the engineers and ask about intern/full-time recruitment 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, or hardware and physical projects-focused hackathon. We provide industry mentors, UofT lab spaces, informative workshops, and all the hardware needed for the 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 targeting 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 also have technical workshops throughout the year such as our Web development series, Introductory language workshops, and hardware/Arduino workshops
