Calling Nominations for 2016 ITE&E Committee Monday, 09 November 2015

The Information, Telecommunications, Electronics and Electrical (ITE&E) Branch is looking for Canberra Division members of the ITEE and Electrical Colleges who are interested in joining the 2016 committee.  Membership of this committee provides an opportunity not only to contribute to Engineers Australia activities in Canberra, but also to enjoy the rewards of volunteering with Engineers Australia.

To be eligible to join the committee, you need to be a financial member of Engineers Australia and a member of either the ITEE College or the Electrical College (or both), and willing to participate actively in committee activities.

The ITE&E Branch represents the interests of members of the Electrical and the ITEE Colleges in Canberra Division.  The Branch also works together with both the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) and the IEEE.

The objectives of the ITE&E Branch Committee are:

  • To organise and conduct activities that meet the continuing professional development (CPD) requirements and further the interests of those engaged in information, telecommunications, electronics and electrical engineering; and
  • To encourage and facilitate the development of information, telecommunications, electronics and electrical engineering in the ACT and surrounding regions.  

In 2015, the ITE&E Branch had an active year.  It met on a monthly basis starting in February, and organised the following events and activities:

  • 10 x monthly Joint Institutions technical seminars and 5 x bi-monthly Software Engineering and Architecture seminars (two achieved), including one site visit;
  • A  joint seminar with ASDE (Canberra) and two site visits, including one jointly with YEA; and
  • An ITE&E Student Presentation Award Night (ITEESPAN).

The ITE&E Branch Committee currently aims to achieve a similar program in 2016 and new members bring new ideas!
