IEEE is the world's largest technical professional organization for electrical and electronics engineering. Duke IEEE is a student-run, pre-professional society at Duke University for ECE and CS undergraduates that aims to bridge the gap between students, faculty, and industry.
Duke IEEE strives to accomplish this goal with initiatives both on and off campus, including hosting industry, alumni, and faculty speaker events, as well as facilitating undergraduate participation in conferences.
