Promotion on 23 Sep 2009 with GOLD (HK)

Tonight we had about 50 students from CUHK to join our promotion activity. However, most of them did not know anything about GOLD.

In addition, most of the students could not apply the membership during the promotion activity, since the process could be done online only.

We could only promote our own official website and asked them to apply for the membership by clicking the reference link from the website.

Some of the IEEE student members who join tonight said that they prefered more social activities to meet other members or students, or internships referred by IEEE. Most of them wanted student branch to organize activities such as BBQ gathering, hiking or lunch gathering.

Summing-up, all participants satisfied tonight's event.

Our Logo

This is an ATOM, the fundamental unit of everything. The central sphere is the nucleus and the surrounding rings are the electron waves. Those arrows inside the circular waves imply the expansion of the atom. Our logo serves two meanings. First, the expanding atom simulates the fast and tremendous expansion of technological knowledge, which is the reason why we aim to provide the most up-to-date technical information to our student members. Second, we build the network of all student members just as atoms build up matters.

Our Mission

To promote IEEE to all engineering students in CUHK
The IEEE is widely recognized as the world's leading publisher of literature in electrical engineering and computer science. She provides a high quality and updated information to all members. Such information helps members know more about the fast-paced technology world which helps a lot in their studies and also their career. Therefore, it is our obligation to promote IEEE to all students in the CUHK's Engineering Faculty.

To act as a bridge between potential and current engineers
We try to encourage communication between the students and the current engineers. It will be worthy to communicate with them and share their experience. This helps students to become engineers and serve the society with the knowledge they learn in the campus.

Introduction

About IEEE
Founded in 1884, The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) is a worldwide technical professional society devoted to advancing the theory and application of electrical engineering, electronics and computing. The IEEE serves almost 315,000 electrical engineers, scientists and other professionals in approximately 150 countries. It is the world's largest technical professional society.

Mission
The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers promotes the development of electrotechnology and allied sciences, the application of those technologies for the benefit of humanity, the advancement of the profession, and the well-being of its members.

Access Information from the World's Largest Technical Publisher
The IEEE is widely recognized as the world's leading publisher of literature in electrical engineering and computer science. Our high-quality information products include magazines, journals, books, conference records, CD-ROM, and other electronic media publications. All members receive Spectrum, the IEEE's award-winning magazine. The Institute, our monthly newsletter, keeps you up on events in and around the IEEE. Student members in the U.S. and Canada also receive the award winning Potentials, the quarterly magazine for up-and-coming engineers. Potentials profiles technological and career trends, as well as subjects important for working successfully in industry. While Potentials is included with U.S. and Canadian student membership, it is optional for all other IEEE Student members.

Join an IEEE Technical Society
The IEEE currently has 37 technical Societies and Councils, each devoted to a specific technical area. As the IEEE serves the breadth of common interests among electrical engineers, our technical Societies serve the depths of members' special interests. Almost two-thirds of IEEE members belong to at least one Society and you can join at reduced Student member rates Promotional leaflet There is a promotional leaflet introducting us.It is available on the website.
