ECEDHA Corner
ECEDHA and
IEEE-HKN Partner for
Student Success
Few organizations have the synergy and alignment
like IEEE-Eta Kappa Nu and The Electrical and
Computer Engineering Department Heads Association
(ECEDHA). The challenges of preparing, engaging,
inspiring, and involving students is best met when
Department Heads and HKN Chapters work together.
That is why the two organizations have a long history
of working together to meet the needs of our Chapters.
ECEDHA is the premier academic association of its
kind encompassing all major electrical engineering,
computer engineering, and related programs at
universities across North America. ECEDHA's mission
is to foster advances in the disciplines of electrical
and computer engineering, facilitate interaction
and exchange of ideas among its members, and
improve communication with the profession, industry,
government, and other communities of interest.
In just the last six months alone, IEEE-HKN and
ECEDHA have collaborated on three programs:
* ECEDHA and HKN: Partnering for Student Success,
a one-hour learning session held during the 2020
HKN Experience last November. It is available to
watch on demand.
* Lessons Learned: Student Insights on Fall 2020,
in which two IEEE-HKN students participated in this
panel as part of ECEDHA's Educators Summit in
December of 2020. You may view the panel
on demand.
* ECEDHA + IEEE-HKN = Recipe for Success, a town
hall event that presented several case studies of
successful partnerships, highlighted the service
component of HKN, and how Department Heads
can achieve their objectives for student success
and outreach in their campus communities.
The three Town Hall sessions are available on the
IEEE-HKN YouTube channel:
* Session 1 IEEE-HKN: Not Just Another
Student Organization
* Session 2 IEEE-HKN Impact: How Your
Department Will Benefit from Your HKN Chapter
* Session 3 Enhancing Student Life &
Peer-to-Peer Community
The ECEDHA Summit Series
presents virtual programs organized
by ECEDHA leadership and offered
to ECE educators on a quarterly
basis. The summits provide a forum for peers to gather,
learn, and share best practices addressing common
challenges. Each two-day summit focuses on a subject
area of particular interest to the ECE community, such
as the Educators Summit in December.
