IEEE Columbia Section

Joining IEEE is investing in yourself because you can’t do engineering all on your own. IEEE offers knowledge resources and tools for advancing you and your solutions; access to thought leaders in your profession, no matter where they reside in the world; opportunities for originating meaningful works; membership in any number of communities of practice; and volunteerism, professional development, and leadership training. No other society will provide more bang for your dollars. When you join IEEE you join the IEEE Columbia Section – your local host for engaging IEEE activities in the midlands of South Carolina. Participate in 7-8 technical meetings, 2-3 corporate tours, mentor Future City developers and aspiring engineers in the South Carolina Academy of Science. And, yes, engineers have fun! You might choose to help design Carowinds’ next super Water Slide or apply your skills in engineering competitions. Visit the Columbia Section’s website to learn about more IEEE benefits such as health-wealth management (IEEE insurances, product discounts, VISA credit card, and travel services), career management (IEEE JOBSITE, resume building, conferences, and student scholarships), social consciousness (IEEE disaster relief projects, curriculum development, foundations/grants, and Legislative/Congressional Days), and credibility (IEEE standards, innovations, transactions, industry impacts, and leadership).

Joining IEEE is investing in the world’s most effective advocate for technical engineering. Such an investment sustains IEEE’s global reach, research, innovations, knowledge management, transactions, and growth. IEEE standards drive the application of technical knowledge that leads to innovations that transform the way people live, work, play, and interact. Join IEEE Columbia Section and advocate for technical engineering in our area. The Section is engaging students, discussing new Society Chapters, judging competitions, planning joint activities with other Sections, planning 1-2 visits by distinguished lecturers, and planning to host special interest meetings via WebEx.

Joining IEEE is your decision to maintain a role in a global network of more than 430,000 professionals who seek to advance technology for humanity. Your decision ensures the long-term viability and continued relevance of this network in the communities where engineering solutions are most needed. Joining is not a decision to substitute IEEE for professional societies with a different focus. IEEE’s membership is diverse and international; so is the Columbia Section. There is a place, here, for you.
