IEEE STUDENT BRANCH – IEEE -CCEO

The Caledonian College of Engineering Student Branch was formed in January 2004. It formally started functioning by an inaugural lecture by Dr Abdul Nassir Hossin, Professor and IEEE branch counselor of SQU on 20th October 2004. Thereafter, it has been a regular practice to conduct events to sharpen the skills of Caledonian College of Engineering. The IEEE Chapter has contributed in organizing two Technical Paper contests successfully and is continuing to strive for student development. The goal of the IEEE branch is to provide Caledonian members with resources (both academic and social) which will assist them in finding technical careers in a changing marketplace. Through the use of workshops, conferences, journals and networking opportunities provided by IEEE, the Caledonian branch has quickly grown and now includes members from many technical areas including computer, electronic and telecommunication engineering.

With an Executive Committee setup, the IEEE –CCE student branch is committed and well positioned to achieve it's goal of being a critical element in preparing its members for their careers as well as improving technological awareness among them.
