The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc. (IEEE) was founded in 1884 with Alexander Graham Bell and Thomas Edison among its charter members. Today, the IEEE serves over 300,000 members who are geographically orgainzed into 10 Regions, over 300 Sections, and 800 Student Branches. The nearly 40,000 student members worldwide are essential to the continued growth and vitality of the IEEE. Not only is the IEEE the world's largest technical and professional society, it is also the largest publisher of electrotechnology in the world.


The Institute's worldwide membership is geographically divided into ten Regions. Hong Kong is in the Region 10, Asia and Pacific. These regions are further subdivided into Sections that serve as the centers of activity for professional engineers at the local level. Our local section is the Hong Kong Section. The Student Branch further falls under the auspices of the local Section. The mission of the Student Branch is to provide undergraduate and graduate students who have an interest in the Electrical and Electronics or related engineering professions with opportunities for educational, technical and professional development in preparation for entry into the profession.

The IEEE Student Branch at City University of Hong Kong was re-established in Nov., 1997. It represents a direct link between the IEEE operations center and student members. If you are the IEEE student members studying in this univeristy, you are already the members of this student branch and this branch is established for you.
