2. Mostly school pass out students
Some 2nd year students of under-graduate
courses
Even students studying in non-Engineering
courses, say, Bachelor of Architecture, Mass
Communication, etc..
3. Encouraged by seniors and existing members
Attracted to benefits of subscription such as
access to online information on the website, on-
line account, e-mail Id and monthly magazine
Attracted to certificates, and to have fun while
working as a team member
Promised to be helped in career ahead by
joining
Since others have joined, they are further
pressurized to join
4. Usually know IEEE for the name sake only, i.e.,
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
IEEE is meant for Engineers only
Specifically for Electrical and Electronics
Engineers, no space for Computers,
Mechanical, Civil, Information Technology,
etc..
5. Invitations to join technical workshops and
lectures happening at Branch/Section level
A monthly magazine and an almost daily
update of world-wide happening technical
developments
6. Mere spectators/listeners of such
workshops/lectures
Barely go through their inbox which is full of
e-newsletters and e-magazines
Starts losing their interest in the new
membership and eventually feels disconnected
from IEEE
7. Wants to integrate and interact with the society
but founds it too technical to start…
8. Provided platform for their active participation
Asked them to organize non-technical/
cultural/ social/ humanitarian events
They were in charge of publicity, infrastructure
and other logistics needed
Had a feedback after each event to decide
whether to continue with the same
event/theme or not
9. Non-Technical Lectures
Group Discussions
Debates
Presentations
„Earth Hour‟ and „Earth Day‟
10. Sudden turn up of new members
We got surrounded by them in college lobbies
and canteen
Lots of proposal for new events such as street
shows, video making competitions, and
workshops on website development arrived
Certainly they themselves wanted to work on the
technical aspect of IEEE
11. “… I enjoyed the event…”
“… can you please elaborate if IEEE has got
something to do with humanity?”
“….I think I have got something to do with
IEEE”
12. It implants leadership training, event
management and presentation &
communication skills
Provides a feel good factor
They gets connected to the world of IEEE
