Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
IEEE (pronounced "eye-triple-eee") is an acronym for The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. It is an association that provides resources, information, and services centered around the field of electrical and electronics technology. It is the world's largest technical society with hundreds of thousands of members. More information about IEEE can be found on its website.
The Texas A&M chapter of the IEEE is very active with activities ranging from socials to competitions (e.g. IEEEXtreme Programming and a Formula 1 Hybrid Car competition) to presentations from corporations. Our chapter's goal is to help members become leaders in industry as well as promote fellowship among students studying in the electrical and electronics fields.
Eta Kappa Nu - Electrical and Computer Engineering Honor Society
IEEE-Eta Kappa Nu is the student honor society of IEEE and is dedicated to encouraging and recognizing excellence in the IEEE-designated fields of interest. Members consist of students, alumni, and other professionals who have demonstrated exceptional academic and professional accomplishments. Student members are selected on the basis of scholastic standing, character and leadership. Through a variety of service programs and leadership training, student members develop lifelong skills that prepare them for prominent positions in industry and academia. Members are much better prepared for the post-college world and are especially valuable and attractive to employers. They are recognized as extremely capable, both technically and professionally.
The IEEE PELS/IAS/PES joint student chapter
The Texas A&M University IEEE-Power & Energy-Industry Application-Power Electronics Societies Joint Student Chapter strives for the advancement of knowledge of the theory and practice of electrical engineering related to planning, research, development, design, application, construction, installation, and operation of apparatus, equipment, structures, materials and systems for the safe, reliable, and economic generation, transmission, distribution, conversion, measurement and control of electric energy. We invite you to have a look at our calendar of events and activities lined up for the semester.
Robomaster Robotics
The Texas A&M University RoboMaster Competition Team is a student-run robotics organization on campus. We design, manufacture, and assemble 7 complex robots that are to be competed in the annual RoboMaster Robotics Competition, the largest collegiate robotics competition in the world hosting over 250 of the top engineering universities on the planet. Completely student-run and funded, TAMU RoboMaster provides students with an immersive experience in engineering, management, supply chain, and business. Students design robots from scratch, using techniques from both industry and applications of knowledge from coursework.
Electrical and Computer Engineering Graduate Student Association
The Electrical and Computer Engineering Graduate Student Association is actively involved in enhancing the graduate student experience at Texas A&M University. It is focused on hosting events, providing professional development opportunities and representing the graduate student body to help improve graduate life and improve the department as a whole.
TAMU Amateur Radio Club (W5AC)
The Texas A&M Amateur Radio Club (W5AC) encourages and supports amateur radio communication in the Texas A&M community. The organization offers a unique opportunity to develop skills in both the theory and practice of two-way radio communication and the technology that undergirds it. Weekly nets, or meetings over the radio, are held and members participate in worldwide contests and other Amateur Radio related events. The club is able to provide emergency and volunteer communications when necessary.
