Q: How is IEEE your professional home?

A: IEEE has played a crucial role in my academic journey, providing travel grants, platforms to present my research at conferences and opportunities for collaboration and knowledge sharing with professionals in academia and industry.

The IEEE network within California State University, Long Beach, played a critical role in helping to integrate AI across departments and establish better connections between students and industry professionals – students are benefiting from these connections, which has resulted in opportunities to participate in workshops with industry experts equipping them with the skills needed to tackle real-world challenges upon entering the workforce.
