IEEE PES SBC GUB Executive Committee 2024

This is to inform all concerned that the executive committee of IEEE Power and Energy Society Student Branch Chapter GUB (IEEE PES SBC GUB) has been formed in the general meeting of the student branch members and faculty members on Wednesday, 27 March, 2024. An executive committee consisting of the following 11 members has been formed for 2024.

Advisory Committee

The IEEE Power & Energy Society (PES) is one of the most prominent technical societies within the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). It is dedicated to the scientific and engineering knowledge about electric power and energy. As the global demand for energy continues to grow and evolve, the role of IEEE PES becomes even more crucial. At Green University of Bangladesh (GUB), the IEEE PES Student Branch Chapter (SBC) is an emerging platform driving the mission of PES forward—by connecting, educating, and inspiring students in the field of power and energy.

The GUB PES SBC maintains an active presence online through its official Facebook page, where it showcases its dynamic activities and fosters a community of like-minded future engineers.
