The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) is the world’s largest technical society, for the advancement of technology through its 400,000 members including 100,000 student members in more than 160 countries. The association provides access to the latest technical information and research, global networking and career opportunities. It conducts conferences & seminars of technical interest, technical workshops, technical tours, meetings and quiz on a regular basis.
The most significant benefits of being an active IEEE student member are:
It has been 35 exuberant years since IEEE first entered the portals of TKMCE. The pedigree of TKMCE SB is enormous since its inauguration on 22nd November 1986 and it has always been on the right track in exploring and exploiting technology for the benefit of humanity. The voyage of TKMites in the ocean of IEEE has been eventful with many prestigious awards and rewards to their credit. Adding a golden feather to its cap, the Student Branch won the Region10 Exemplary Student Branch Award 2010 for the third best student branch in the Asia-Pacific Region. Retaining the crowned glory, we had the honour of hosting the Asia focused ISGT 2011 India, International Conference. Combining the guidance of the best of faculty members and the prowess of an active group of student members, we are sure to scale greater heights. Over the past three decades, we have conducted a multitude of events in various categories from technical and managerial events to educational and social events with humanitarian benefits. We also have fun events like technical fests and mesmerizing IEEE Day celebrations. We currently have active PES, RAS, CS, SPS, IES, and IAS chapters, WIE Affinity Group, and a Special Interest Group SIGHT.
