IEEE CHAPTER ENGINEERS SUCCESSES
Under the leadership of electrical engineering student Brent Looney, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) chapter provided tutoring for students across campus, organized a new chapter of Women in Engineering, and hosted a career seminar in collaboration with the Asheville chapter of the Society of Women Engineers.
At Western Carolina University, you will be able to participate in student chapters of national engineering societies. Activities include meetings, guest speakers, trips, competitions, service projects, leadership opportunities, scholarships, networking, career guidance and more!
Professional engineering societies can support you now and in your future career. These societies help members stay informed, connected, and growing professionally. They coordinate public outreach, education and service opportunities. Some provide scholarship, internship, and job opportunities.

Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE)
Society of Automotive Engineers International (SAE)
American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
Society of Manufacturing Engineers (SME)
