With branches in many universities around the world, IEEE is the largest global organization concerned with technology, its development and related scientific research in all fields.  Its mission is to educate students about the role of the organization and help develop their skills and conduct a wide range of activities for students.  

Our vision at the PSUT branch is to enrich students’ practical experience by making field visits to various facilities that will increase the level of their awareness and engineering sense. It also conducts a variety of training workshops that suit different disciplines, charging nominal prices. Each workshop is usually followed by project work or a field visit that fits with what has been learned, in order to ensure that the theoretical and practical knowledge reach the same level. The club was founded in 2000.
