VIT CHENNAI – IEEE STUDENT BRANCH

The Student Branch of IEEE was started in VIT Chennai in 2011. Since then, it has developed into a mutlifaceted student club on campus, organizing a wide variety of technically focussed events from workshops to student TechTalks to playing a significant role in technical fests.

The Student Branch attempts to provide a platform for students from different branches and years to connect with each other and IEEE members from other colleges.

Student members have the choice to get involved in technical projects, presentations, website building and maintenance and non-technical aspects such as marketing, volunteering for IEEE events and networking with other student branches.

In addition, the long term goal of the Student Branch on campus is to work on a long-term Engineering Projects In Community Service (EPICS) in IEEE related to village life.

OSA VIT UNIVERSITY CHENNAI STUDENT CHAPTER

Ever since its birth in November 2014, our OSA VIT Chennai Student Chapter has been buzzing with life with our ever-enthusiastic members. The chapter provides a base for aspiring engineers to launch themselves into an arena of light, optics, and photonics, and apply their discovered knowledge and technologies to promote sustainable development, and provide solutions to world-wide challenges in the sectors of energy, education, agriculture, communications, and healthcare. By participating in our student chapter, you are exposed to unique chapter benefits, development of technical knowledge leadership experience, and lifetime relations with peers, leaders, and mentors. While in OSA, you will meet opportunities by the dozen, and open doors to greater accomplishments. OSA provides opportunities not only in India, but around the world. Through our student chapter, we have been able to guide our members upon their research and subject papers, and channel their work into tremendous opportunities of paper presentations and conferences in many foreign countries.

Our student body relentlessly strives to create more awareness among students regarding optical technology and its role and impact in sustainable development and solutions to global challenges. According to us, awareness must start when creativity and thinking is at its peak – the school level. Our student chapter frequently visits schools in and around the city, to expose its students to the amazement of the study of light. At the university level, promotional and technical events, and industrial visits help our budding engineers seek out knowledge.
