IEEE University of Ottawa Student Branch has been selected for the Outstanding Student Award

November 03, 2010

Every year at its Annual General Meeting, the IEEE Ottawa Section presents awards to deserving student branch within the IEEE Ottawa Section. The purpose of this award is to recognize an active Student Branch which has shown outstanding dedication in organizing many events (technical/educational/social meetings, seminars, workshops), and in increasing branch membership.

Selection of the winner is based on merit of initiated member activities and whether the branch was last year’s recipient of the award. The University of Ottawa had received the award last year; but because this branch was more present and active in the section than the runner ups, an exception was made, so the award was given for a second year in a row

The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. (IEEE) is a non-profit, technical professional association with more than 385,000 members worldwide. The IEEE acronym is most popularly pronounced I triple E. Through its members, the IEEE is a leading authority in technical areas ranging from computer engineering, biomedical technology and telecommunications, to electric power, aerospace and consumer electronics, among others.

Through its technical publishing, conferences and consensus-based standards activities, the IEEE produces 30 percent of the world’s published literature in electrical engineering, computers and control technology, holds annually more than 300 major conferences and has nearly 900 active standards with 700 under development.
