SoutheastCon is the annual IEEE Region 3 technical, professional, and
student conference. Our student branch plans to compete in the Hardware,
Software, Ethics, Outreach, Circuit Design, and Promotional
competitions next year in Daytona Beach, FL. Our student branch
has had tremendous success at SoutheastCon in recent years and was
admitted to the exclusive
IEEE University Partnership Program
due in part to this success.
One of the main goals of the IEEE UF Student Branch is to connect ECE
students with industry leaders. IEEE hosts many information sessions
with corporate sponsors to enable students to interact with recruiters
in order to obtain internships and jobs. Our corporate sponsors
benefit from this direct access to the top talent in the ECE
department.
Every year, the IEEE UF Student Branch participates in IEEE
SoutheastCon and competes in the autonomous robot Hardware
Competition. This year's competition challenges IEEE student teams to
design build test and program a fully autonomous robot to complete a stock car race to defined in competition manuals.
This is an excellent opportunity for students to develop their
technical and interpersonal skills as they work in a team environment
to design and build a capable robot. Students of all experience levels
are encouraged to join.
Giving back is crucial. The IEEE UF Student Branch partners with the
UF College of Engineering and local Gainesville non-profits to teach
electrical and computer engineering concepts to K-12 students. Our
student branch also completes outdoor cleanup and gardening events.

With a renewed focus on technical development, the IEEE UF Student
Branch hosts unique events each semester to teach critical technical
skills to ECE students. Following invitation to the IEEE University
Partners Program, our student branch has begun hosting the
Open Project Space
program for underclassmen students.
Tailgates, BBQs, volleyball games with the engineering faculty, and
trivia nights with other student organizations are just a few examples
of the social events the UF IEEE Student Branch hosts year-round. We
understand the importance of relationship-building and fun to round
out students' college experience.
The IEEE UF Student Branch hosts regular seminars featuring industry professionals,
faculty members, and graduate students. These seminars cover cutting-edge topics in
electrical and computer engineering, providing students with insights into current
research, industry trends, and career opportunities. Seminars are open to all students
and often include networking opportunities with speakers.
IEEE UF Student Branch Committees are open to all members and provide a hands-on way
to contribute to the organization, develop leadership skills, and make a lasting impact
on our community. Each committee meets regularly to plan events, develop new ideas, and
collaborate with other members to grow IEEE at UF.
