The technical chapter is a part of the IEEE section present in a country or a region. It consists of members that share the same interest in a technical field. This chapter includes speakers, workshops, and seminars. Not only that, but it also provides chapter members with something just as important as technical value, Network! This local network can aid members personally and professionally through their meetings and/o events held by the chapter. The difference between a council and a chapter is that the latter has only one field whereas the council combines multiple. How it’s formed + How the students can benefit from it The technical chapter can be formed through a request that’s sent to the unit responsible for organizing IEEE work in your area to make sure your work is beneficial to local students that need your help. And of course, there are special prizes for active members that are unrelated to the prizes given for distinct graduation projects that any IEEE member can request aid for. These prizes and experience bits and pieces an IEEE members collects are crucial when they’re applying for a job later. And in some societies, the active members from every chapter of every country have a yearly gathering to talk about what each chapter has achieved throughout the year. To create a chapter inside your university Every chapter consists of 4 officers (chairman, vice chairman, secretary, and treasurer) just like any student branch, in addition to other positions like the person responsible for the website and other activities. To view the chapters that are close to you, you can visit this link or scan this QR code: If you need someone to communicate with to create your chapter, you can view this list of technical coordinators and choose the one closest on to you. There are 3 paths to take to create a chapter. The first is to broaden a pre-existing chapter. The second is to create a joint chapter, which is a combination of more than one chapter, not to be confused with a council. The council combines multiple fields, but the joint chapter combines multiple chapters of the same field. The difference between them is only in coordination. The third path is to open a brand-new chapter. DLP Of the important things you need to know about the chapters, the DLP system. The DLP system is a list that includes the names of big and important speakers in multiple fields that the chapter can communicate with. The chapter can also use financial aid from IEEE to help transport that speaker to their local area to benefit from a presentation they give. This is all financially aided as long as the speaker is included in this list and is specialized in a field of interest to the chapter. The Newsletter A newsletter is sent twice a month including the chapter’s achievements. And through this newsletter, help can circulate between the different chapters as well as collaborated events. Another plus is that it helps with the adoption of new and creative ideas across branches; if a chapter shares an achievement that is new and doable, another chapter can create their own version of the same thing. The Reporting (The catastrophe) The last thing we’re going to speak about is the reporting, which represents a catastrophe to more than one chapter and student branch. Reporting is a simple operation performed by the chapter where it sends out a report of all it has achieved for IEEE documented with pictures and videos. Why is it a catastrophe, then? Because many chapters and branches don’t know about it which means that their hard work and efforts don’t reach IEEE and are not appreciated. This means that they lose a lot of awards and financial aid opportunities. How would anyone be able to appreciate your efforts if they don’t know about them? The person responsible for reporting is the secretary.
