AI talk and Workshop
Want to know more about Machine Learning? Want to explore Data Science? Want to build your first predictive model? We’ve got you covered! The IEEE Student Branch at AUB, in collaboration with Beirut AI, will be providing you with a 2-hour workshop on the 28th of November starting at 5.30PM that will immerse you into the AI world💡 You will discover more about exciting topics and breakthroughs in the field of Machine Learning! The best part is that you will be provided with a hands-on workshop where you will learn how to apply machine learning algorithms to analyze your data and to create your predictive model 📈 You will also be receiving a certificate of participation from Beirut AI at the end of the workshop!🏆
Hash Code was crazy! Over 100 participants gathered on Thursday, February 20th to compete in Google’s very own Hash Code Competition. Luckily, the teams made it to Top 10 in Lebanon.
We are waiting for the official results from Google so stay tuned! Hopefully, our teams can be qualified for the final round in Dublin.
Thanks to everyone for participating, we hope you enjoyed it!

Our Annual General Assembly took place Monday, September 23rd at ELH at 7:30 pm. As we usually do, we started introducing IEEE by putting a face to the club, with our advisor Dr. Imad El-Hajj. Then, the IEEE Student Branch’s president Mark Kazan presented this Cabinet, Marketing Officers, Event Officers, and Webmaster. The president then explained the roles and objectives of Members at Large and Year Representatives. Also, he introduced the IEEE subsidiaries — Women in Engineering Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, and AUB Robotics Club — and their respective cabinets.
The attendees of the General Assembly were then encouraged to head to the roof, where free pizza and muffins were served, for a chance to win coupons for gym memberships, gaming lounges, Mr. International, and etc.

On Wednesday, September 9, the IEEE Cabinet hosted a New Student Orientation Session at ELH. In a few words, this session was an introductory casual presentation to all new engineering sophomores who have just entered AUB and have no clue about what awaits them.
The presentation included parking spots, possible minors at AUB, common courses to ECE and CCE, points of contact at AUB, etc. The main points discussed involved information targeting the major, the department, as well as the faculty.
The goal of this session was to get new students to familiarize themselves with the AUB system. As we were once in their shoes, we know what it’s like to get into AUB and have a billion questions to ask, but no one to ask. As IEEE AUB Student Branch, we feel it is our duty to gain the trust of students by offering them help and guidance every step of the way.
In case you missed it, here it is!

Now, all you have to do is register for the IEEE Club (CRN 5038). We can’t wait for you to be part of the team!
IEEEXtreme is a global challenge in which teams of IEEE Student members compete in a 24-hour time span against each other to solve a set of programming problems. AUB students participated in the IEEEXtreme 12.0 on October 2018 aided by the AUB IEEE student branch that provided food and drinks during the 24 hour time span in addition to proctors that advised and supported the students. Antoine Z – the one man coding machine- participated on his own and snatched the first place in Lebanon along with the 18th place worldwide. Another AUB team made it to the top 100 worldwide and took the 2nd place nationally. In total 6 AUB teams made it to the top 10 places in Lebanon. IEEEXtreme ended on a positive note for the AUB participants after 24 challenging hours.
