Brown IEEE Student Chapter

As the semester is getting underway, so is the Brown IEEE Student Chapter. One of the main goals for the group this year will be creating and strengthening a community among engineers interested in technology. We will accomplish this through academic, corporate, and social events. Also, this year we plan on introducing a group project through which we can all participate in building an electronic system.

If you are considering an engineering concentration or have already decided on an electrical/computer engineering track, we encourage you to join this group. Please fill out the following form (even if you already signed up at the activities fair):

Since the Brown IEEE Student Chapter is a fairly young student group (it was started by 3 electrical engineering seniors last year), there is a lot of flexibility in what direction the group will take. If you choose to be part of the board, you will have a large impact on the vision of the group for its present and future members. A brief description of board positions can be found here: http://www.engin.brown.edu/organizations/ieee/boardposition/Brown_IEEE_Board_positions_description.pdf
Whether you are an undergraduate freshman or a PhD student, we encourage all engineers to consider running for a board position. If you are thinking about being an active member of the group, or have your heart set on a board position already, we welcome you to attend our first meeting of the year Tuesday September 14th at 8:00PM in BH190.

Thank you and we look forward to meeting with you,
