IEEE-HKN NEWS AND UPDATES

What have our chapters been up to this year?
Here are some highlights of events from across our
global community, displaying all of the core attributes
required to be an outstanding member of IEEE-HKN!

*

Nu Chapter: Iowa State University
*

*

Code Camp: The female members of the Nu
Chapter volunteered to coach/ mentor all girl teams
who had little or no programming experience during
a 24 event similar to a hackathon. Each team was a
group of 4 and each team had one mentor assigned
to them. One of the teams with a member of
our chapter as their mentor won the overall prize
(pictured above). There were approximately 12
teams total competing, therefore, about 50 student
participants were present at the code camp.
Nerd and Technology Trivia Night: By collaborating
with the ISU After Dark committee, we were able to
host an event during the last ISU After Dark event for
the Spring of 2017. We hosted a trivia night where
approximately 50 students (throughout the night)
competed for prizes in teams by answering trivia
questions related to technology and pop culture.

Delta Pi: Colorado State University
*

*

Mu Eta Chapter: University of Kwa-Zulu Natal
*
*

Community Uplifting by running laboratory sessions
and other supplemental instructional lessons.
Individual chapter members were granted awards for
engineering innovations and scholarships.

Mu Nu Chapter: Politecnico di Torino
*

*

Attended a closed workshop about Cyber security
on the Automotive AizoOn Company headquarters.
Shows how cyber security is important for today,
especially in the automotive sector.
Organized two seminars to educate students about
the technical concepts behind ChatBot software
integrated in many messaging services.

Gamma Mu Chapter: Texas A&M University
*

Howdy Farm: Howdy Farm is a student-run organic
sustainable farm on the campus of Texas A&M
University. Volunteers would go to the farm and do
basic farming duties such as removing weeds or
cultivating ripe vegetation. Through this event we
were able to promote sustainable living and provide
healthy alternatives.

Tech Talk with Exxon Mobil: Exxon Mobil expressed
interest in establishing a recruitment team dedicated
to Texas A&M University. The Gamma Mu chapter
played a key role in helping to host a tech talk for
electrical and computer engineering students. Both
events were a huge success and Exxon has expressed
interest in have special events with the Gamma Mu
Chapter of HKN in future semesters.
HKN Officer's Soccer with SWE: The officer team
participated in the Student Engineering Council's
Soccer Tournament. We competed against teams
from other Engineering Organizations at Texas A&M.
The officer team bonded in a fun but competitive
match of soccer.

Ms. Veronica Foster, the president (AY2016-17) of
the CSU IEEE-HKN chapter participated as an invited
panelist at an IEEE Student Professional Awareness
Experience (SPAX) event organized by the CSU IEEE
chapter in April 2017.
CSU IEEE-HKN also organized professional seminars
for students including Keysight - Opportunities
Within Companies, Working in Aerospace, and
Revolutionizing Engineering Departments (RED).

Beta Epsilon: University of Michigan
*

Club Scouts Day: We partnered with our university's
branch of Tau Betta Pi to host a Cub Scouts Day.
Members of local Cub Scouts troops came to
campus to earn their Engineering pins. Volunteers
from HKN hosted the scouts and their parents and
managed activities such as EECS Tutoring Program
The EECS Tutoring Program (ETP) is one of the many
ways that HKN gives back to the EECS community.
The ETP facilitates tutoring between EECS students
and is administrated by the EECS department. Tutors
are required to undergo two hours of training to
prepare them for the challenges of tutoring. Then,
each week during the semester, the tutor will spend
2-3 hours helping other students in a particular
EECS class. Currently, the ETP supports tutoring in
circuits, programming, discrete math, signals, and
systems. This is an efficient way for HKN to give back
to the community, doing what it does best: EECS
homework!
