About IEEE
IEEE is a non-profit, technical professional association of more than 365,000 individual members in approximately 175 countries.
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 publications, 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.
The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) is devoted to advancing the theory and application of electrical engineering, electronics, and computing.
About Region 10
The IEEE Region 10, or sometimes referred to the Asia Pacific Region comprises 4 Councils, 47 Sections, 6 Sub-sections, 211 Chapters and 245 student branches. It covers a geographical area stretching from South Korea and Japan in the north-east to New Zealand in the south, and Pakistan in the west. With a membership in of about 60,000, it is one of the largest and fastest growing regions in IEEE.There are 10 sections in India which comes under IEEE Region 10.
About IEEE Gujrat Section
The IEEE Gujarat Section endeavors to promote awareness among students on the opportunities that exist in the field of electronics and electrical engineering. Our objective is to bridge the gap between industry and students studying in technology-related fields, while promoting and providing an intellectually stimulating university environment for the student body.
On 15th August 1990, IEEE Hq. approved IEEE Gujarat Sub- Section in a full-fledged IEEE Gujarat Section. IEEE Gujarat Section is one of the 10 Sections in India coming under Asia-Pacific Region, the Region 10 of IEEE.
Though preparations started much earlier by Professor Akshai K. Aggarwal. Associated with him were many other active members from both the industry and academia. ONGC, SAC (ISRO), Inductotherm, Amtech Electronics, Hirel Electronics, faculty members of DDIT, MS Univ, many entrepreneur engineers were among the key contributors while conceiving this section. Roughly speaking membership strength of active members is around 500, among which 300 are student members belonging to various student branches. We have 1 Fellow, 25 Senior Members, 170 Members and 15 Associate Members. In 1990 there were around 100 members. These figures may not be precise, only indicative.
The Section has had the good fortune of association of eminent professionals as Members or Convenors/Chairmen of various technical/program committees.
In past years, IEEE Gujarat Section was very active in organizing various state and national level technical events for the benefit of student of Gujarat, in particular. These include
- National Workshop on Challenges in VLSI
- Two-day Intensive Workshop on Embedded Systems
- Half Day Seminar on Artificial Intelligence
- National Symposium on Packet Data Services in CDMA
In year 2006 also we started with great zeal and enthusiasm with successful organization of the following programmes
- Workshop on MPEG
- Two Day Intensive Workshop on VLSI Chip Design
- National Seminar on Computer Vision and Image Processing
- Intensive Workshop on Service-Oriented Computing
We received IEEE R10 Distinguished Small Section Award for year 2005 based on the activities we conducted in 2004. This includes 12th International Conference on GRID COMPUTING which was held at Nirma University during December 2004.
IEEE Student Branches Under Gujrat Section
An "IEEE Student Branch" is an IEEE entity that helps students in a specific educational institution. There are around 375 approved student branches in R10, few of them are not so active (50 have become dormant over a period of time). Of these, over 150 student branches are located in many major Universities and Engineering Colleges all over India. Each Student Branch is attached to the nearest IEEE Section.
