IEEE Overview
From its earliest origins, the IEEE has advanced the theory and application of electro technology and allied sciences, served as a catalyst for technological innovation and supported the needs of its members through a wide variety of programs and services. The IEEE is made up of 10 Regions, 36 Technical Societies, four Technical Councils, approximately 1,200 individual and joint Society chapters, and 300 Sections.

A Brief History
The IRE (Institute of Radio Engineers) -- Wireless Communications Two largely local organizations -- the Society of Wireless and Telegraph Engineers and the Wireless Institute -- merged to form an international society for scientists and engineers involved in the development of wireless communications -- the Institute of Radio Engineers AIEE (American Institute of Electrical Engineers) -- Wire Communications, Light and Power From the beginning, the major interests of the AIEE were

1. wire communications and 2. light and power systems.

An early and active participant in the development of electrical industry standards, the Institute laid the foundations for all work on electrical standards done in the United States.

AIEE, IRE Merge In 1961, the leadership of both the IRE and the AIEE resolved to seek an end to these difficulties through consolidation. The next year a merger plan was formulated and approved and became effective on 1 January 1963. The new organization, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers,

IEEE PEC CHAPTER
The mission of the IEEE chapter of PEC is to promote the growth of information and electrical technologies. The Center provides many useful resources to the members and anyone interested in the development of electrical and electronics ,computer engineering technology. The IEEE student branch of Punjab Engineering College ,Chandigarh was formed through IEEE notification dated 7th Nov 1996 and formally inaugurated on 17th April, 1997. The student branch under the guidance of our reverend Principal and the Branch Counselor Dr. Gurnam Singh has grown from strength to strength. The students of PEC are provided with a platform where they can implement their innovative ideas and exchange their thoughts evolving into a collective technically strong unit.

In adddition to the students of Electrical, Electronics, Computer Science and Engineering and I.T., the students o fother fields are also welcome as associate members.

The list of activities organized by student branch are as follows:-

1. I.S.M.'s : The information sharing meetings were the main activity regularly undertaken by IEEE student branch. Talks were presented by the student members as follows: a. A talk on Neural Networks and their Applications by Mr. Sumeet Jindal, 2nd Year Comp. Sc. & Engg. b. Talk on the utility of Fuel Cells by Mr. Divay Bansal, 2nd Year Comp. Sc. & Engg. c. Talk on the latest technologies and working of LED's by Mr. Vikas Bansal, 2nd Year Electronics d. Talk on Amphibionics-Biologically Inspired Robots. e. Talk on the real world applications of Microsoft technologies, Telecommunications and Networking and Hands-on-Workshop on  Adobe Photoshop. f. workshop on electronics was taken and another Information sharing meeting on ‘HUMANOIDS’ and ‘WEB 2.0’ was really informative and provided an insight into the latest stuff going on in the field. g. Workshop on Ethical Hacking by Mr. Preet Kanwal Singh saw a huge interest of budding hackers wherein firstly sir threw some limelight on the difference between hacking and ethical hacking. h. A team of 6 from IEEE Student Branch PEC went on to attend the Women in Engineering Congress 2012 at Shri Vishu Engineering College for Women, Bhimavaram, Andhra Pradesh, where R10 representatives and Delegates from various parts of the region came together to discuss the current status of activities and the benefits offered by IEEE as a world leader in advancing technology for humanity.Meeting people of such stature was really heart-whelming for the team. ?”

A healthy discussion and expert advice on the variours topics turned out to be informative and interesting as well. 2. The Technical Quiz: An intra college quiz on a wide range of topics ranging from science and information technology to history and general knowledge was organized by student branch to test the acumen and the knowledge of the students.

3. Technical Projects : a) IEEE Student Branch PEC has worked on the project ‘Fabrication of Power Inverter’ years to improve methods of energy generation.b) A biologically inspired robot which works wirelessly and is capable of transmitting any kind of information, the turtletron, is a recent achievement of the student branch. The robot turtle is a part of practical research in Amphibionics which is aimed at developing a new class of biologically inspired mobile robots that exhibit much greater robustness of performance in unstructured environments than a lot of today’s robots.
