ABOUT US

In 2020, SPSU embarked on the journey to establish its IEEE Student Branch, with the aim of fostering innovation and professional development among students. Over the years, the branch has successfully organized a variety of events, bringing together like-minded individuals passionate about technology and engineering. The journey took a significant step forward in 2024 when the IEEE Student Branch was re-inaugurated on October 1st, marking the beginning of a new chapter filled with renewed enthusiasm and a fresh vision. Since its reinauguration, the branch has continued to host multiple events, further solidifying its role in empowering students and inspiring innovation.

HISTORY OF IEEE

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 electrical, electronic, and computing fields and related areas of science and technology that underlie modern civilization.
IEEE’s roots go back to 1884 when electricity began to become a major influence in society. There was one major established electrical industry, the telegraph, which since the 1840s had come to connect the world with a data communications system faster than the speed of transportation. The telephone and electric power and light industries had just gotten underway.

ABOUT IEEE SPSU

The IEEE Sir Padampat Singhania University Student Branch, established in 2020, has been a cornerstone in expanding the professional vision of its members. Through its six dynamic committees, the branch organizes a wide array of technical and social events, fostering innovation, collaboration, and leadership among students.

In 2024, the branch embarked on a new chapter, with its grand re-inauguration on October 1st. This milestone event marked a renewed commitment to empowering students with cutting-edge knowledge and opportunities in technology and engineering. With a fresh vision and energy, the IEEE SPSU Student Branch continues to pave the way for growth and excellence in the student community.

IEEE WIE SPSU: Empowering Women in Tech

On October 1st, 2024, the IEEE Sir Padampat Singhania University Student Branch marked a significant milestone by inaugurating the IEEE Women in Engineering (WIE) Affinity Group. IEEE WIE is one of the largest international professional organizations dedicated to promoting women engineers and scientists, inspiring girls worldwide to pursue careers in engineering and technology. The establishment of the WIE branch at SPSU underscores a commitment to fostering diversity, inclusion, and gender equity in engineering and related fields.

To celebrate this momentous occasion, a poster-making competition was organized with the thought-provoking theme, “Engaging More Women in AI and the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR).” The event brought together creative minds to showcase innovative ideas, emphasizing the vital role of women in shaping the future of artificial intelligence and cutting-edge technologies.

With the launch of the IEEE WIE Affinity Group, the SPSU Student Branch aims to empower women in STEM, nurture talent, and inspire the next generation of leaders to drive progress in a rapidly evolving technological landscape.

GROWTH AND GLOBALIZATION

Over the decades that followed, the social roles of the technologies under IEEE’s aegis continued to spread across the world and reach into more and more areas of people’s lives. The professional groups and technical boards of the predecessor institutions evolved into IEEE Societies. By the early 21st century, IEEE served its members and their interests with 39 Societies; 130 journals, transactions, and magazines; more than 300 conferences annually; and 900 active standards.
Since that time, computers evolved from massive mainframes to desktop appliances to portable devices, linked to global networks connected by copper wire, microwaves, satellites, or fiber optics. IEEE’s fields of interest expanded well beyond electrical and electronics engineering and computing into areas such as micro-and nanotechnologies, ultrasonics, bioengineering, robotics, electronic materials, and many others. Electronics became ubiquitous, integrated into everything from jet cockpits to industrial robots to medical imaging.
As technologies and the industries that developed them increasingly transcended national boundaries, IEEE has kept pace. It is now a global institution that uses the innovations of the practitioners it represents to enhance IEEE’s excellence in delivering products and services to members, industries, and the public at large. Publications and educational programs are delivered online, as are member services such as renewal and elections. By 2010, IEEE comprised over 395,000 members in 160 countries. Through its global network of geographical units, publications, web services, and conferences, IEEE remain the world’s largest technical professional association.

Vision

To advance global prosperity by fostering technological innovation, enabling members’ careers, and promoting community worldwide.

Mission

The IEEE promotes the engineering process of creating, developing, integrating, sharing, and applying knowledge about electro and information technologies and sciences for the benefit of humanity and the profession.
