Vision: IEEE will be essential to the global technical community and to technical professionals everywhere and be universally recognized for the contributions of technology and of technical professionals in improving global conditions.
Mission: IEEE’s core purpose is to foster technological innovation and excellence for the benefit of humanity.
IEEE Student Branch of University of Colombo School of Computing (UCSC) was established in 2011 and has achieved great success within the past few years. It has been formed with the participation and contribution of all four batches of UCSC and it has been organizing many activities to enhance the professional development of the students. Other than gaining technological experience and knowledge, personality development skills such as organization, leadership, interaction can also be gained by engaging in the activities organized by the IEEE student branch of UCSC. The core purpose of the IEEE student branch of UCSC is to serve humanity through technological innovations. The society organizes a number of workshops and conferences for both UCSC students and members of the IEEE student branches in Sri Lanka with the purpose of enriching them with the most modern technological knowledge in order to survive in the industry and encouraging them to be innovative in the field of technology.
Various Tech Talk sessions on topics such as Linux, C++ programming, OOP and Computer Hardware sessions and competitions such as “IEEExtreme” are being held in order to improve the knowledge of the undergraduates. The student branch also participates in school exhibitions such as Evoke-2015, InforV to give technological knowledge to school students. Among the events held, the IEEE day is one that is held each year definitely in the month of October. It not only celebrates what the society stands for but also celebrates the members of the society. From tech talks to personality development sessions, participants are exposed to what the industry requires of them. Each year, hundreds of undergraduates from across the country meet at this event and this gives them a platform to interact and network. IEEExtreme is a global competition held annually where the UCSC student branch provides a platform for more than 200 undergraduates each year to participate in this programming competition.
