IEEE-USA has partnered with Industry Insights, a leader in salary surveys and research, to launch a new and enhanced salary service. We are excited to announce additional products this year. Users will now have a choice of two calculators — one that employs the regression model, and a new calculator that allows you to select individual filters and calculates your compensation directly from the salary survey’s raw data. IEEE-USA has also released five downloadable industry-specific salary reports along with the new 2015 Salary & Benefits, as well as the 2014 and 2013 Reports.

**If you responded to this year’s IEEE-USA Salary & Benefits Survey, you are eligible for 5 free uses of the most recent salary calculator. Just log in with your IEEE account. We are interested in hearing from you about what you think of the service. Please feel free to contact us at survey@ieeeusa.org.

The University of New Mexico’s IEEE Student Branch has a couple of new faces. The new branch president is Craig Robertson. The new Branch faculty advisor is Dr. Jane Leher (Dr. Jane Lehr, UNM Student Branch Faculty Advisor).

The UNM Student Branch is working very hard to revitalize its activities and also to get back its lounge which is now used as temporary storage after the ECE building flooded last Summer.

They are also looking for new branch members. They will be putting together a couple of activities aimed at recruiting. Please check with them if you are interested, simply curious, or would like to help them in any way.

Student Branch President: Craig Robertson, email: unm.ieee@ieee.org

Thank you,

On August 27th, the New Mexico Tech IEEE Student Branch held its first meeting of the new school year.

The meeting had the objective of introducing the branch members to the officers and explain their goals for the semester/year. They gave a preliminary slideshow detailing these aims, which include sending members to the ICCE in January and sponsoring teams for a drone competition to be held in the spring. Approximately 30 people were present for the entire meeting, with a couple others popping in for a few minutes.

Here are a couple of pictures of the meeting.
