IEEE Purdue Student Branch
Purdue's IEEE student organization is focused on both social and technical aspects. Some committees include extensive technical projects which give an excellent opportunity to apply engineering theory, as well as expose oneself to situations which are normally not encountered in traditional courses. Other committees foster connections with the leading corporations in engineering fields, as well as organize social events.
Many of our committees' projects encompass many of the particular engineering majors which are offered at Purdue. For example, Aerial Robotics requires extensive work with microcontrollers, and digital design interfacing, but it also has to consider flight dynamics in both aircraft design and simulation models. On the other hand, much of the computer vision and real-time flight simulator software requires software engineers.
Purdue's chapter is one of the largest Student Branches of IEEE in the world. Our very own dean of engineering is not only a member of IEEE, but the national president elect for the year 2007.
