 EECS undergrads John Torous (president of the IEEE student chapter) and Ken Elkabany attended the first Leaders Summit sponsored by the IEEE University Partnership Program (UPP) on September 28-29. They were presented with the first UPP Opportunity Grant of $2500 for their for-credit class, “IEEE Hands-on Electronics,” an introduction to electrical engineering for engineers and non-engineers. The student branch is taking this class on the road, bringing science learning to public high school students who might have little opportunity to learn about engineering as a career.
