The IEEE Student Branch at the University of California, Irvine was founded in 1967 by Professor Roland Schinzinger as the fi ... rst General Advisor. Our IEEE Student Branch is the oldest student organization on the UC Irvine campus. Today, our past members work in the professional world or continue their education beyond the bachelor's degree but will always be part of our student branch. In the past we have held two of the most honored awards in the realm of academic organizations: Engineering Club of the Year (among many other clubs), Most Outstanding Academic Club of the Year, and Best Small IEEE Student Branch in the western United States. Continuing our legacy of helping the students of UC Irvine, we continually offer workshops, company information sessions, tech talks and other opportunities to assist in professional development. We are all geeks at heart and encourage technical exploration and creativity by providing an open lab where students are free to work on projects, collaborate with other students, and study in a healthy environment. read more
