It provides a unique platform for students and researchers to share their experience and views in their latest research and breakthroughs. It is created upon the idea of promoting Asia Pacific as the center of Electrical and Electronics excellence in this region and to prompt the research development activities amongst student researches.

IEEE SCOReD 2014 is the biggest event organised by IEEE Malaysia Section, USM IEEE Student Branch and the School of Electrical and Eletronic Engineering from University Science Malaysia in 2014. Collaboration between USM IEEE Student Branch undergraduates and lectures and professors from the university itself, this main conference is to provide a unique platform for students and researchers to share their experience and views in their latest research and breakthroughs.

Before the event itself, the promo video and the designation of the poster was created to promote the IEEE SCOReD 2014 to the public. To boost the popularity of the event itself, IEEE SCOReD  2014 website was set up by the multimedia department of IEEE SCOReD 2014.

In total, there were 59 papers presenter attended the IEEE SCOReD Conference 2014. There were 4 keynote speakers of engineering background invited for the IEEE SCOReD Conference 2014. The overall flow of the event was run smoothly according to the event schedule. The event was indeed an opportunities for all presenters to share their research findings through Technical Session and publish through the IEEE Xplore.

During the event, some of the talented USM IEEE Student Branch did exhibit their own personal electronic projects to the public. The main showcase from USM IEEE Student Branch is the 6 LED matrix cube. It was created by using Arduino Nano and soldered with LED that were linked together by USB cable.
