About Us.

The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) is a worldwide professional technical society devoted to advancing the theory and application of all facets of electrical, electronic, and computer engineering; and enhancing the careers of engineers around the world. The IEEE serves engineers, scientists, and other professionals in approximately 150 countries. It is the world's largest technical professional society. The Institute believes that by promoting the free exchange of technology information, members can advance themselves and their profession, as well as contribute to general public understanding about the importance of electrical, electronics, and computer engineering. To carry out its technical and public missions, the IEEE offers a host of publications, conferences, and educational programs.

Rochester Institute of Technology is the home of the RIT Student Chapter of the IEEE, Rochester Section. Our chapter serves to promote professional engineers through our association with the Rochester Section of the IEEE. Our chapter sponsors technical presentations and employment recruiting opportunities with some of the top employers in the technical industry today. We also sponsor multi-university activities and community outreach programs such as the annual Student Design Contest.
