IEEE stands for the Institute of Electrical & Electronics engineers, it was established in 1884 by a group of electrical engineers. IEEE consists of about 380,000 members in 150 countries with its headquarters located at New York. It produces about 30% of the world’s literature in electrical engineering, computers, control technology etc.
IEEE membership provides innumerous educational opportunities to ensure an engineer’s technical vitality. It helps discover career opportunities and enables an individual to gain competitive edge with IEEE Spectrum and various other IEEE potential magazines. The Student Branch of IEEE in the Faculty of Engg. & Technology at JMI was established in the year 1992. It was reactivated by the unstinted efforts of Prof Mini S. Thomas, Branch Counselor in November, 2000 with the address of Prof Saifur Rehman, Director, Alexandria Research Institute, Virgin Tech., USA. Activities such as workshops, seminars, paper presentation sessions, quiz competitions, group discussions and debates are regularly organized to provide an excellent opportunity to the student members to gain invaluable experience in event management while at the same time operating new avenues for the budding technocrats.
The student membership of our branch presently stands at over a 180 members and also aims to grow from strength to strength in the years to come. The IEEE Student Branch, JMI is currently one of the most active branches in the R-10 branches and we hope to carry this flame a long way in the time that lies ahead.
