Importance/Objectives of the Club and the benefits

An IEEE Student Branch gives students a community of peers, and a connection to faculty and industry professionals who drive innovation in countless technical fields.

A Student Branch Chapter is a technical sub-unit of a Student Branch. A Student Branch Chapter functions in a manner similar to a committee of the Student Branch. Student Chapters provide unique opportunities for networking, mentoring, and bonding over common interests. They provide support both within the student community and to local communities outside the institution.

The IEEE Power Electronics Society (PELS) is one of the fastest growing technical societies of the IEEE. The members include preeminent researchers, practitioners, and distinguished award winners. PELS seeks to publish the highest quality scientific and educational materials in the areas within its scope.
