The IEEE is the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. The SFU IEEE provides
SFU engineers the opportunity to join the IEEE and enjoy significant student membership discounts.
The IEEE is a great resource for students in our Engineering program. With
your subscription, you receive the IEEE Spectrum magazine as well as
Potentials, the magazine for up and coming Engineers. In addition, we are
part of the Greater Vancouver IEEE chapter, receiving invitations to
attend a number of seminars and presentations by high profile speakers
throughout the year.
The SFU IEEE provides you with the opportunity to advance your technical
skills and academic merit. For instance, SFU has had great success in the
IEEE student paper competition with a number of accolades over the years.
We have also visited high technology firms in Boston and the Silicon
Valley as part of our academic experiences. We also hold regular
activities such as hikes, and also provide you with access to an exam file
of previous course exams.
In short, we seek to:
Promote the IEEE and Engineering
Provide you with valuable resources and reference material
Provide you with access to technical seminars and presentations,
covering the latest exciting technologies
Establish contacts with companies through facility tours
Enrich the academic culture through student paper competitions
