As the undergraduates of the University of Sri Jayewardenepura, the need of initiating an IEEE Student Branch at the university was seen as a necessity, especially for the growth and the development of our undergraduates as well as for the overall development of the university.
Hence, an IEEE Awareness Session was held at the university with the foremost intention in providing a proper introduction to the students about IEEE and its importance. The session was successfully held at the New Faculty Complex of the Faculty of Applied Sciences, on the 24th of August, 2017 with a participation of a significant crowd representing all the six faculties of the university.
Representing the IEEE Sri Lanka Section, the former coordinator of Region 10 Student Branch & former Sectional Student Representative of Sri Lanka Section Mr. Yasitha Harshanath did an introductory presentation on IEEE while sharing his experiences and the great benefits of IEEE. While creating a platform for us to initiate action to form an IEEE Student Branch at the University of Sri Jayewardenepura, this experience opened up a wide door to access latest technology trends, industry news, career opportunities and many more benefits for our undergraduates.
