The Student Branch began its year in UOB with being a part of of the College of Engineering’s Orientation Day ’17. the day was specifically planned for fresh engineering students that are new to the campus. 

The event was huge, college-of-engineering-level, but IEEE gladly took on the task of the electrical and electronics engineering students to show them what the whole department is really like. The organization of the Student Branch of the tours was praised as students were shown the classes and the labs and what they’ll be facing their upcoming semester. During the tours, the organizers shared tips, tricks and hacks that has been passed on to them or they personally gained during their years in the department which a lot of the attendees found amusing. There was also guest speakers like doctors who spoke about joining engineering and what they are to expect during their period of study. The day was very productive and ended on a light note when the attendees and the organizers gathered over finger-foods and refreshments.
