The purpose of the IEEE Student Branch at UBC Okanagan is to create a community which connects students of technical fields to each other and to related industry professionals by hosting host social, technical and professional events, as well as by providing access to scholarships/grants and encouraging extra-curricular technical pursuits. In so doing, we aim to enhance the ability, success and quality of life for our members in order to achieve IEEE's overriding goal of developing technology that benefits humanity.
