If you are interested in starting a CEDA Student Branch Chapter, please follow the instructions below including the supplemental questions.
Step 1: Petition to form an IEEE Student Branch Chapter
A Technical Chapter at your Student Branch is your local link to the valuable resources available from IEEE and its many Societies and Councils. There must be a current, active Student Branch at your school, to form a Student Branch Technical Chapter.
Step 2: Required Supplemental Questions
Send your responses to the CEDA Operations Manager at (Click to show email).
We always welcome new student branch chapters and volunteers of CEDA. We want to ensure that CEDA is the right Council for the students’ interested areas to get sufficient support from the right organization.
The following questions are required for CEDA to review and approve your pending application.
Please provide more information on the statements and plans for CEDA review and approval, including expanding on your plans for:
- Industrial workshops
- Company visits
- CAD programming contests
- Summer schools/camps
- Academic seminars related to EDA
The scope of EDA includes not only the use of EDA/CAD tools to design integrated electronic circuits and systems, but also the theory, implementation, design, analysis, and verification of ICs, hardware, and embedded software up to and including complete working systems. EDA is not just using tools, but more on developing tools for circuit and system designs. Our required background training is algorithms and data structures, with domain knowledge of logic and circuit designs. If you want to use EDA tools or design circuits, then CAS or SSCS should better fit your needs; and the two societies could provide you with better resources.
To familiarize the fundamentals of EDA, students are encouraged to reach out to our seven member societies first, which include Antennas and Propagation, Circuits and Systems, Computer, Electron Devices, Electronics Packaging, Microwave Theory &Techniques, and Solid-State Circuits Societies.
This information will be required to approve the chapter, otherwise, we will not be able to support this request. Please let us know if you have any further questions.
