SoutheastCon is the annual IEEE Region 3 Technical, Professional, and Student Conference. Our Student Branch is competing in the Hardware, Ethics, Outreach, and Promotional competitions at the 2023 competition in Orlando, FL on April 13-16. IEEE Student Teams are bringing their Category 5 Hurricane Recovery Robots to recover Duck Gardens, the IEEE Orlando Theme Park. The robots will have several tasks to pick from to help "Rebuild the Magic!"

One of the main goals of the IEEE UF Student Branch is to connect our students with industry leaders. IEEE hosts many information sessions with such companies to enable our students to interact with recruiters in order to obtain internships and jobs.

Every year, the UF student branch participates in IEEE SoutheastCon and competes in the autonomous robot IEEE Hardware Competition. The robot must complete a set of tasks without human control. IEEE pushes the edge of innovation with the Hardware Team and encourages everyone that wants to be a part of a design team to join.

Giving back is crucial. The IEEE UF Student Branch partners with the UF College of Engineering and local Gainesville library to teach electrical and computer engineering concepts to middle school and high school students. Check out our community service blog here!

With a new focus on technical development, IEEE hosts unique events each semester pertaining to critical technical skills that are beneficial to the development of our students. Following the inivitation to the IEEE University Partners Program, IEEE has began hosting the Open Project Space program for underclassmen students.

The IEEE UF Student Branch provides continuous peer advising services to aid ECE students in making decision on their course schedules. Stop by our office (NEB 213) anytime during the semester. If one of our officers or chairs are present, we will be glad to assist you. Office hours periods are as follows:

Tailgates, BBQs, basketball games with the engineering faculty, and socials with other student orgs just a few examples of the events going on year-round. IEEE at UF is constantly looking to connect fellow students.
