Why You Should Attend The IEEE Chicago 130th Annual Fair & Expo is open to the public and free to attend, although you must register first. For high-school students contemplating college, this is a chance to talk to enrolled students and working engineers about what it takes to have an engineering career. (https://ieeechicago.org) society chapters represent virtually all disciplines within the electrical engineering profession. During the main Event, you can listen to professionals on how engineering contributes to the public good and what opportunities exist with engineering education. Whether you are a high school student, a university student, an industry professional, an academic professional, retired, or love engineering and technology, learn how the Chicago engineering community continues to contribute to society. If you have any questions, please email [email protected]. In addition, this event will also be celebrating #IEEEDay which is October 1, but we will celebrate it during our event. Refreshments and lunch will be served. Please see below flyer for a glimpse of what will be happening, and feel free to download the flyer to share our event to others.
