Lakehead University IEEE Student Branch
Welcome to the LU-IEEE Student Branch web site. Have a look around. Get involved by sending us your IEEE information in the Members section. Be sure to send in any comments for LU-IEEE and this site.
We are a part of the International IEEE organization. Our goal is to create awareness of the IEEE and its benefits to members. Working together members can excel at academic and professional activities, while gaining knowledge of the electrical and electronics engineering industry.
The campus club is here to service all members and to represent electrical and software engineering students to the engineering faculty. We also have a library of previous engineering exams and assignments.
