INDIANAPOLIS \u2014 One of Purdue\u2019<\/span>s oldest student organizations is writing a new chapter in Indianapolis. The IEEE (formerly the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) student organization is thriving at Purdue\u2019<\/span>s expansion in the capital city, serving students from across schools and departments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fully transitioning under the Purdue umbrella in 2024, IEEE in Indianapolis supplements theoretical coursework by developing practical, industry-relevant skills, such as printed circuit board design and customization, to help students apply theory with hands-on application. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c<\/span>Unlike a lab during class under a defined time, our IEEE students go through the entire process \u2014 from idea to execution,\u201d<\/span> said Euzeli Dos Santos, associate professor of electrical and computer engineering in Indianapolis and faculty advisor for the club. \u201c<\/span>They are not in a typical classroom, but they\u2019<\/span>re still talking about engineering and working to solve problems.\u201d<\/span> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Student Trailblazer Fund awarded grants totaling more than $70,000 to 21 registered student organizations in Indianapolis<\/a>, including IEEE, in its first funding cycle. Thanks in part to receiving that funding, Leon Engle, the club\u2019<\/span>s president who oversaw the transition to Indianapolis, said IEEE has created beneficial workshops and competitions that Purdue students can now participate in. Several students recently competed in a soldering workshop and linear regulator kit build where the member who developed the lowest-noise regulator won a prize. IEEE students also developed a weed control system using high voltage instead of herbicides. The club grants students access to a component library, as well as access to parts and shared tools to support projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Founded in 1903, Purdue IEEE is the largest technical organization open to students of every academic background. With presences in West Lafayette and now the Indianapolis location, IEEE helps member students enter their professional careers, learn engineering software and skills, and socialize with others to form lasting connections. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Along with Purdue\u2019<\/span>s other 70-plus student organizations in Indianapolis, IEEE plays a vital role in helping students develop a sense of belonging on campus. For more information about IEEE or to sign up for the club, visit its page on BoilerLink<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
