From success to failure is one step, from failure to success is a long road.
We are proud to inform you that IEEE University Sains Malaysia Student Branch had won the third runner-up Outstanding Student Branch. Thanks to all committees who have put their effort for this achievement. We will also keep it up and be better in the future.
Victory is always possible for the person who refuses to stop fighting. Victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory however long and hard the road may be; for without victory, there is no survival.
We are proud to inform that IEEE USM SB wins again. This time, we won the Darrel Chong Student Activity Awards. The awards received are as the following:
1)Bronze for 2018 in Makerthon
2)Silver for 2019 in IEEE Fundraising for Free Workshop
We hope this victory of our people may burn more desires among the students to achieve even more great success.

Congratulations to our advisor, Dr. Mohd Tafir for winning IEEE Outstanding Branch Counsellor and Branch Chapter Advisor Award. A big thank you to our advisor for leading us towards the road of success throughout the years.
We believe that it is just a milestone for us to reach higher peak. We will keep up the good work!
As one of the annual event for IEEE USM Student Branch, Makerthon 2018 has been joined by more than 50 participants from USM Engineering Campus. Participants spent almost 60 hours continuously, from tinkering till building a prototype for solution of the problems they faced daily and lastly presented to judging panel formed by prestigious academicians and industrial engineers. This event is indeed a great challenge for participants as they have to work in team and think creatively in a short period in order to stand out among others.
IEEE USM Student Branch won Silver in Darrel Chong Student Activity Award. The purpose of this recognition system serves to change the mindset of our student groups, from being number-driven, to becoming value-driven and to acknowledge exemplary student activities around the world. The goal is to improve the quality of activities, and to foster knowledge sharing among students. Ultimately, the initiative is targeted at improving student-membership growth. This will encourage and motivate students to continue to innovate and implement meaningful ideas.
We have been awarded for the success in one of our flagship events, namely Techmentor. Techmentor is an initiative based on volunteer teaching, where facilitators called Techmentors will be trained beforehand to impart them with the necessary knowledge to guide participating secondary school students. Several Techmentors will be responsible for facilitating the participating teams in terms of teaching and technical support, and to prepare the team for a competition which will be held toward the end of the project.
USM IEEE Student Branch won Gold in Darrel Chong Student Activity Award. The award serves to recognize activities orchestrated by IEEE bodies around the world that bring much impact to society.
We have been awarded for the success in one of our flagship events, namely Tech Mentors Education Project. Tech Mentors is a volunteering program carried out by the undergraduate students of USM based on the mission to inspire the young generation through designing creative innovations with embedded systems. It focuses on practical learning which involves hands-on and group discussion where students learn how to construct an embedded system by applying what they learn during the training on necessary software. The facilitators called Tech Mentors will obtain training from industries (provided by Dreamcatcher) to guide participating secondary school students. They are guided to build their own embedded system projects using soldering skills, circuit design and C++ programming. Several Tech mentors will be responsible to facilitate the participating teams in terms of teaching, technical support and to prepare the team for the grand challenge called the Young Innovate Malaysia Competition.
Tan Kah Hooi (ex- Head Of R & D Department) received R10 EA Outstanding Volunteer Award-2016. He is the main person in charge and volunteer for Techmentor Malaysia which is an event where the volunteers guide secondary school students on learning Arduino and leading them to the final competition which is Young Innovate Malaysia Competition 2014. As the main person in charge of Stem Outreach, Tan Kah Hooi and his team visited secondary schools or primary schools to introduce fun and interesting science projects to them.Next, Tan Kah Hooi is active in creating R&D projects and showcasing them at various exhibitions. For instance, the exhibition at Penang Science Cluster Openeng, Wisma Openang and Penang International Science Fair.
Tan Ting Feng (Past President) and his partner Fow Jun Ee for winning the first prize in Innovate Malaysia Design Competition 2016 MathWorks Track. They both won two categories, namely the Mathworks track and the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) design challenge.

University Sains Malaysia IEEE student branch had been declared as the champions of the R10 Website Contest which was organised by IEEE Region 10 Student Activities Committee. The website was judged in 6 category which are content, navigability, originality, overall presentation, portability and load time. Each category provide 30%, 25%, 15%, 15%, 10% and 5% of the total points respectively. It was certainly something to be proud of as our website was judged and chosen as the best website among the participating student branch.
As the champion of the R10 Website Contest, the USM IEEE SB was awarded with a certificate and 500 USD as well as the right to represent Region 10 (Asia Pacific Region) in the upcoming IEEE Global Website Contest.
We would like to congratulate our webmasters team on the achievement. It was truly an achievement worth of praise for their effort. As the achievement was great, the expectation will be greater. We will be expecting continuous commitment from them to take our USM IEEE SB to a greater height!!
IEEE USM Student Branch has been featured in Malaysian Insider. An IEEE USM student was wearing a self-made iron mask during an exhibition at the official launch of @CAT on 10 October 2015. @CAT which is known as Penang accelerator for creative, analytics and technology is now formally set up at Wisma Yeap Chor Ee in the Unesco World Heritage City of George Town. @CAT is held to promote and grow creative and technology start-ups as a new economic engine for the state. IEEE USM Student Branch is looking forward for another participation in the exhibition of @CAT.
