Event Description

IEEE Student Branches provide IEEE Student members a networking opportunity to meet and learn from fellow students, as well as faculty members and professionals in the field to share their interests, future professions and ideas. IEEE Day is celebrating the first time in history when engineers worldwide and IEEE members gathered to share their technical ideas in 1884. Every year IEEE day is celebrated cheerfully. Like other years, IEEE EWU Student branch celebrated IEEE day in a festive way too. This year, IEEE EWU SB has completed the IEEE Day 2021 celebration. To celebrate the occasion, IEEE EWU SB organized a two week-long program which started on 5th October, 2021 and ended on 17th October, 2021, where 3 Webinars, 2 Workshops and 5 Competitions took place online.
