IEEE
The IEEE, an association dedicated to advancing innovation and technological excellence for the benefit of humanity, is the world’s largest technical professional society. It is designed to serve professionals involved in all aspects of the electric, electronic and computing fields and related areas of science and technology underlying modern civilization.
Mission
The main objective of the IEEE is to foster technological innovation and excellence for the benefit of humanity.
Vision
To be essential for the world technical community and for technical professionals everywhere, and have worldwide recognition for their contributions to technology and technical professionals in improving world conditions
Student Branch
The IEEE UERJ Student Branch is the representative entity of the IEEE at the State University of Rio de Janeiro. Founded in 2004, its mission is to disseminate the identity of IEEE within the university, contribute to the technological-scientific development of the academic community and add value to the professional training of its members.
Among its activities are the promotion of technical events, realization of projects (academic, technical and humanitarian), courses, training, workshops and external activities.
Chapters
A Chapter is a technical subunit of a region or geographic council. The Chapters are responsible for technical activities and projects in a given field, which their Society represents. They also train their volunteers and work together with the Branch to hold events.
The Branch includes chapters of the Robotic and Automation Society (RAS), Power and Energy Society & Industry Applications Society (PES & IAS), Computer Society (CS) and the affinity groups Women in Engineering (WiE) and Special Interest Group on Humanitarian Technology (SIGHT).
IEEE Power and Energy Society & IEEE Industry Applications Society
(PES & IAS)
The Power and Energy Society is the oldest IEEE society that covers research and development in the safe, sustainable and economic use of electricity.
IEEE Robotics and
Automation Society
(RAS)
The Society of Robotics and Automation supports development in the fields of robotics and automation, including the advancement of theory and practice.
IEEE Computer Society
(CS)
The Computer Society is the main source of information, inspiration and collaboration in the areas of Science and Computer Engineering.
Affinity groups
The main objective is the union and collaboration of members who have a common ideal. The development of projects and activities related to the theme of the Affinity Group is an excellent way to fulfill the purposes of the IEEE.
IEEE Women in Engineering
(WIE)
WIE – Women in Engineering – is an affinity group of IEEE, one of the largest international professional organizations dedicated to promoting women engineers and scientists and inspiring girls around the world to pursue their engineering careers.
IEEE Special Interest Group on
Humanitarian Technology
(SIGTH)
IEEE SIGHT is a global network of groups that identify and address local problems by applying their technical skills and partnering with local communities.
