Tech-talks and info sessions

IEEE ASU invites distinguished IEEE members, faculty and industrial experts from various esteemed organizations to conduct tech-talks about latest upcoming technologies and their research work in various engineering fields. The tech-talks motivate the students to take up interesting research projects as challenges and explore methods to overcome the difficulties faced in current times. Info sessions help the students to learn about various companies in the phoenix valley and know the exciting opportunities they have to offer for interns and recent graduates. Along with several well-established corporations, we have had the pleasure of inviting startup companies and get to know about them from their executive officers directly.

IEEE being a global organization offers various services. To know about these, we invited professionals from IEEE HQ to create awareness about the benefits of IEEE and taking advantages of the membership.

Seminars

These include resume building sessions and understanding the use of LinkedIn. Our career services center has been very helpful in guiding our members to draft impressive resumes and build excellent profiles. We have been emphasizing on the need to polish communication skills and interacting with people at career fairs or career mixers. We have had our own IEEE ASU Career Fair and invited 5 companies to hire students for possible internship or fill-time opportunities. Over the past years, we have been having alumni talks to guide the students of their respective departments regarding their experiences, projects undertaken and importance of course selection. It helps the current student complete their degrees with excellent marks and prepare them for the outside world.

Workshops

We have conducted various sessions in the past that focus on development of technical skills for undergraduate and graduate students. Recently concluded workshop conducted by Texas Instruments involved hands-on workshop on Rapid Prototyping. The students learnt to rapidly prototype using TI’s MSP432 Launchpad and the Grove Sensor Kit Booster Pack. The workshop was open to all engineering majors from various degree levels and we were glad that students from non-engineering majors also attended. After the workshop, we tend to have a brief session on the career opportunities at the esteemed companies and know directly from university managers what skills they look for in an engineering student.

We motivate students to undertake projects but some of our future projects are planned to be based on sustainability and Internet of Things. We have been into a lot of research to define the goals of sustainability and compare it with current industrial standard. We will be creating our own scale for measuring sustainability at local levels such as events held at the university. Our past projects include using development boards for embedded systems, involving sensors in health applications and manufacturing of solar cells.

IEEE Day 2025

On 7th October 2025, the IEEE Student Branch at ASU celebrated IEEE Day, a day in history when engineers and IEEE members worldwide first gathered in 1884 to share their technical ideas. This year, we honored the contributions of engineers, scientists, and innovators around the globe who have shaped technology and established IEEE standards. At ASU, the board members of IEEE hosted an exciting celebration with keynote sessions, mentorship insights, and opportunities to explore how students can grow as engineers and technologists.

Along with technical keynote sessions, attendees enjoyed a networking mixer and engaging discussions about trending technologies, including the applications of AI in construction, manufacturing, and other industries. Every attendee had a great time hearing from experienced professionals, learning about IEEE programs like the Mentor Program, IEEE Xplore Digital Library, technical societies, affinity groups, and entrepreneurship initiatives, all while enjoying some delicious Italian food. We also gave away prize raffle items, including $25 Amazon gift cards and other exciting surprises.

IEEE Day 2025 also highlighted IEEE’s philanthropic and policy efforts. Students learned about initiatives like IEEE Smart Village and Tech4Good, and explored IEEE-USA programs and internships that offer hands-on experience in technology policy and government relations.

We actively celebrate IEEE Day each year as one of our signature events for the Fall semester. IEEE Day 2025 at ASU was an inspiring celebration of innovation, mentorship, networking, and community, leaving every participant motivated, connected, and ready to make a difference as part of the global IEEE network.

University-wide involvement

We have our annual university-wide event named ‘Passport to ASU’ where we interact with all the university students, non-engineering as well and invite them to our workshops and events. We give away lots of IEEE ASU swag and promote the benefits of being an IEEE member. For the new incoming engineering students in the past year, we organized an event to socialize through the game of bowling and had fun conversations. At the end of each semester, the board members have an appreciation dinner to praise everyone for the contributions they have put for the events throughout the semester.

IEEE ASU actively participated in the Career Exploration Night to interact with incoming freshmen about careers in engineering and planning their goals after graduation. It was amazing participating in the annual engineering homecoming block party organized by the Fulton Schools of Engineering and Student Engagement Office. We will be also setting up our table at the upcoming Spring Involvement Fair, ASU Engineering Week and Open Door on the Tempe campus.
