February 2016 – The IEEE-Eta Kappa Nu (IEEE-HKN) Board of Governors has conferred on the following IEEE-HKN Chapters the 2014-2015 IEEE-HKN Outstanding Chapter Award:
Arizona State University Epsilon Beta Chapter Binghamton University Kappa Epsilon Chapter Georgia Institute of Technology Beta Mu Chapter Iowa State University Nu Chapter Kansas State University Beta Kappa Chapter Lehigh University Chi Chapter Massachusetts Institute of Technology Beta Theta Chapter Mississippi State University Gamma Omega Chapter Missouri University of Science &Technology Gamma Theta Chapter North Carolina State University Beta Eta Chapter Purdue University Beta Chapter SUNY - New Paltz Kappa Omicron Chapter Texas A&M University - Kingsville Zeta Beta Chapter UCSI University Mu Alpha Chapter University of Arizona Iota Xi Chapter University of California Berkeley Mu Chapter University of California, Los Angeles Iota Gamma Chapter University of Colorado at Boulder Rho Chapter University of Hawaii at Manoa Delta Omega Chapter University of Michigan Beta Epsilon Chapter University of Missouri Iota Chapter Wichita State University Epsilon Xi Chapter
This award is presented to IEEE-HKN Chapters in recognition of excellence in their Chapter administration and programs. Service to the community and others is an expectation of IEEE-HKN Chapters. These chapters collectively performed 53,740 hours of service, including: tutoring, exam prep, peer mentoring, organizing tech talks, hosting industry experts, and career fairs for the benefit of all students on campus, as well as service in the community such as outreach to elementary, middle and high schools, robotics clubs, and youth groups.
Recipients are selected on the basis of their annual Chapter report. Winning Chapter reports showcase their Chapter's activities in an individualized manner and provide multiple views and instances of their work, which really brought their Chapter's activities to life. Of critical concern to the Outstanding Chapter Awards evaluation committee in judging a Chapter are activities to: improve professional development; raise instructional and institutional standards; encourage scholarship and creativity; provide a public service; and generally further the established goals of IEEE-HKN.
The awards will be presented at a special reception held on 21 March 2016 at a special reception, in conjunction with the Annual Electrical and Computer Engineering Department Heads Association (ECEDHA). At the Awards Dinner immediately following the reception, the 2015 Alton B. Zerby and Carl T. Koerner Outstanding Student Award will be presented to Sara Kouroupis, of the IEEE-HKN Xi Chapter at Auburn University.
