IEEE Organization IEEE is made up of 10 regions and 37 technical
societies. Approximately 5% of the members volunteer to serve
various IEEE related activities. These individuals make most of the operational decisions for IEEE worldwide.
Canada is assigned as Region 7 Toronto is a very active section

2. IEEE Student Branches
A student branch is a basic operating entity of IEEE with a minimum of 20 student members at a particular college, university of institution.
The purpose of the IEEE Student Branches is to provide the opportunities to meet and learn from fellow students, faculty members and professionals in the field.
There are more than 1000 IEEE Student Branches worldwide.
Student branch activities offer numerous educational, technical, and professional events.

3. IEEE Canada Foundation
The IEEE Canadian Foundation (ICF) a charitable organization associated with IEEE Canada.
The mission is "to promote within Canada the theory and creative practice of electrical and electronics engineering in all its branches".
Provide financial supports for: over 25 McNaughton Learning Centres in Canadian
Universities and Colleges awards up to ten (10) scholarships annually to exceptional
students registered in Electrical, Electronics, and Computer Engineering or Technology programmes for their final year of undergraduate studies
additional special grants in support of education.
![Page 17: Mar. 30, 2004 1 University of Toronto Come and Join the IEEE! Wai Tung Ng Associate Professor IEEE Toronto Section, Student Activity Chair University of](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649f095503460f94c1ddb8/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

The McNaughton Learning Centres Funds are available to assist Canadian IEEE Student
Branches to establish (or improve) the McNaughton Centre Centres. http://www.ieeecanadianfoundation.org/
Existing centres should be upgraded on a regular basis to maintain their usefulness — "improvement" grants are available.
The purchase of equipment, not normally supplied by the school, may be partially funded (up to 75%).
These Centres are intended to enhance the learning experiences of IEEE Student Members, as well as encouraging IEEE membership and activities, and interaction between the IEEE Student Branch and the local IEEE Section.

The IEEE Canadian Foundation Scholarship
The IEEE Canadian Foundation annually sponsors IEEE Canadian Foundation Scholarship. Currently, the value of is either $3500 or $1750.
It is intended to pay a major portion of the final year tuition fees and related academic expenses of a student who has demonstrated a previous commitment to the McNaughton Centre and related IEEE activities, and who indicates a desire to continue this activity.
Within the limitations imposed by course work, the IEEE Canadian Foundation Scholarship holder is expected to work closely with the IEEE Student Branch executive, and to be active in the McNaughton Centre.

5. IEEE Life after College
The years immediately following student life present unique challenges.
The IEEE GOLD (Graduate Of the Last Decade) program was developed to assist IEEE members as they make the transition from student to working engineer.
Any IEEE member graduated from their first professional degree during the past 10 years is automatically included in this program.
The IEEE recognizes that today’s students become tomorrow’s IEEE.
Details of the GOLD program can be found athttp://www.ieee.org/gold/
