Today we are chatting with Vikram Bhasker, incoming president of UC San Diego’s IEEE student organization, which recently received the “Outstanding Student Branch Award,” for IEEE Region 6, which includes 90 student chapters across the Western states of Alaska, Utah, Idaho, Hawaii, California, Oregon, Washington, Nevada, Arizona, and Montana. The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers is the world’s largest professional association advancing innovation and technological excellence for the benefit of humanity, a role the UC San Diego Student Branch takes very seriously.
