About IEEE
Are you hungry for the opportunity to apply your engineering education in a meaningful way? Or that you’ve learned a great amount of theory, but aren’t sure how to use it to solve real-world problems?
IEEE UNM is dedicated to providing students with the resources to make the most out of their engineering education. We provide hands on workshops to learn how to apply engineering theory to solve real-world problems, technical talks to broaden horizons, networking events to get connected with other students and employers, and projects to connect all 3!
