IEEE, an association dedicated to advancing innovation and technological excellence for the benefit of
humanity, is the world's largest technical professional society. IEEE's roots go back to 1884 .
IEEE works on various levels. One of them being the Student Branch Level.
A student branch operates on Graduation or Under-Graduation level, in technical colleges throughout
the country. These student organizations have the very simple motive of enabling professionalism in
students before they set out in the competitive industry.
IEEE SAKEC is one such student body which falls under the Bombay Section.
The IEEE Student branches are divided among 10 regions across the globe and IEEE-SAKEC falls
under the Region 10, i.e the Asia And Pacific region. This region is further divided into various
city/state level sections.
Going back to its roots, IEEE-SAKEC, was founded in year of 1994. Having a long, profound history,
this organization is one of the most robust and active student body orgaanisation under the whole
Bombay Section, and since its inception IEEE SAKEC has been conducting and hosting various events.
Events such as Cyber Law And Networking, Oracle made easy ,Ethical Hacking, Why Standards
Matter?, Skills And Knowledge Enhancement Program, VFX workshop, GFX Workshop, Technical
Paper Presentation, Python.
Non-technical gigs like Film Making and Story Telling, Sakec Swachh Bharat Daud, Corporate Social
Responsibility, Tree Plantation and Drug Awareness Drive in association with the Lions Club,Mumbai
are a few to name.
Apart from that, this organization has a very active participation in most of the conferences and events
conducted on Region levels and Sectional Levels. The Region 10 Summit, SriLanka 2015,The All India
IEEE Computer Society Congress, New Delhi 2015, Region 10 Summit, Bangalore, Bombay Section
Congress, Shegaon 2017, Radio Broadcasting, Kalina Mumbai Univ, 2017, All India Students, Young
Professionals, Women in Engineering Congress are a few to name.
Today, have a Member Base of over 150 students, IEEE-SAKEC is a big milestone in the History of
Shah And Anchor Kutcchi Engineering College.
Kellan Elliot once rightly said that “More women in engineering, something that actually worked.”
We live in a male dominated society and it wouldn’t be wrong if stated that men have dominated women even in engineering, but we are forgetting the fact that even before the word engineer existed men and women both have been the creators and designers of the world.
Engineering is the action of working artfully to bring something about, and it doesn’t matter whether you are a man or a woman. It’s not about who makes the better engineer it about the qualities it takes to be one. But even today when we hear the word engineer we always imagine a man, so to break these stereotypes and bring the women in power with the men, many international organizations have started promoting women to participate in the fields of engineering . And let’s not forget women are assets in engineering design because they are attentive to detail, in addition, women generally excel in organization of project management and communication among all group members. The addition of women to engineering would also diversify the workforce, allowing different perspectives and approaches.
