Τhe Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers is the world’s largest technical professional organization dedicated to advancing technology for the benefit of humanity. IEEE and its members inspire a global community to innovate for a better tomorrow through its more than 396,000 members in over 160 countries, and its highly cited publications, conferences, technology standards, and professional and educational activities. IEEE is the trusted “voice” for engineering, computing, and technology information around the globe.

An IEEE Student Branch provides an opportunity for IEEE Student Members to begin networking in their areas of interest and future profession. It allows members to meet and learn from fellow IEEE Student and Graduate Student Members and engage with professional IEEE members locally. Student involvement in Branch activities, whether special projects, social and technical meetings, outreach programs, conferences, local Section or Regional opportunities, etc. can help develop a record of accomplishment and capabilities beyond the norm.

In order to become a member of the IEEE Student Branch UTH Lamia, you need to be a registered IEEE member. Joining IEEE as a Student Member may be a complex procedure, thus we have created an informative YouTube tutorial on how to become an IEEE member. To learn more about subscribing to IEEE, please visit our “Join Us!” page.

After graduating, you become a Graduate Student Member for a while, and then a regular member. Later on, you can acquire higher grades, such as Senior Member and Fellow Member, but these are earned in time based on how many years you spend as an IEEE member.
