President, Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers at UCLA

The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) is the primary professional society of the electrical engineering profession. It has more than 330,000 members worldwide; including 52,000 student members. It publishes more than 40 technical journals and sponsors or co-sponsors more than 1,000 scientific conferences and meetings around computer engineering, computer science, and related fields. The IEEE has a student branch in every major university in curriculum. Getting involved with the IEEE worldwide organization is highly encouraged, and can provide you with many resources to jump-start an engineering career and expand your network.

Our student organization was founded by a group of students united by the belief that that hands-on experience is foundational in becoming a successful engineer. Since then, we have devoted our time and energies towards providing project experience that compliments UCLA’s engineering coursework. In addition to tools, our organization provides like-minded and experienced project leads that provide fundamental background knowledge, as well as guide students through challenging and interesting projects.
