Auburn University IEEE is the premiere Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) society on the Auburn
University campus. Throughout the year, we organize events that cater to ECE students, prospective students,
alumni, faculty as well as regional corporations. Here's some more background information about the organization.
What is IEEE?
The IEEE is pronounced "eye-triple-E", and stands for the
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. Composed of more than 360,000 individuals from every corner
of the world, the IEEE is the premiere EE technical society. The IEEE consists of
several Societies that specialize
in areas of electrical and electronics engineering as well as computing. The IEEE also has Chapters across
the world's cities and campuses, including the one at Auburn University.
The Auburn Chapter
Auburn University IEEE is the Chapter of the IEEE at Auburn University. It works closely with the Department
of Electrical and Computer Engineering
(ECE) and the Eta Kappa Nu (HKN)
honor society to organize meetings, lectures and extracurricular activities for ECE students. IEEE student
officers network with industry leaders and invite guest speakers to the campus for talks. The branch also
participates in annual events such as E-Day and the homecoming, which are geared towards Auburn's prospective
students and alumni.
