IEEE UMN Student Membership

Join a community of students looking to grow inside and outside of the classroom through professional development opportunities and social events!

A kitchenette with a microwave, coffee maker, fridge, and freezer
Books commonly used in ECE courses
A community study space, with a TV screen for public use
Lab equipment for hands-on learning, including oscilloscopes, function generators, and bench power supplies

Other benefits can include:

Eligibility to run as a candidate in the annual officer election
Invitation to the annual IEEE Banquet
Club-themed goodies (T-shirts, stickers, etc.)
Access to Keller Hall 2^nd floor locker storage

Renewal

Complete the membership requirements during the school year to gain membership until October 1^st of the following school year. As an example, if your membership begins Sep. 20^th of 2025, it would last until Oct. 1^st of 2026.

Requirements must be completed between the first day of class in the fall term and the last day of class in the spring term.
Partially satisfied requirements do not roll over to the summer term or after, so each membership requirement would have to be satisfied between Labor Day and Oct. 1^st to maintain membership benefits continuously.

Disclaimer: Our club membership is not equivalent to the IEEE membership (with the parent organization). IEEE UMN student membership is exclusive to UMN students and is free, made possible by our sponsors and the ECE department. In short, a separate IEEE membership is not required to join IEEE UMN. If you are interested in acquiring membership to the parent organization, you may find more details on their website.
