IEEE SB Connect: Website to Facilitate IEEE Student Branches

IEEE SB Connect: Website to Facilitate IEEE Student Branches.

Team Introduction: Members’ Affiliation & Roles. ‹#›.

Executive Summary. ‹#›. Enhancing the roles of student branches through IEEE SB Connect.

Business Problem/Opportunity. IEEE Student Branches currently have a challenge in identifying all benefits and action steps from the IEEE ecosystem for their Organizationals Units(OU) and Regions in a single repository of opportunities available. This has resulted to students within several student branches(SBs) missing out on vital information on opportunities like scholarships, grants, trainings, sponsorships to attend conferences and mentorship programs which would have been beneficial to the students. Opportunity Our website will serve as a confluence of important information on how to run a student branch effectively and how to access all necessary information of the benefits within IEEE for the student community..

Product/Service Offering. The project titled is IEEE SB Connect "a website to facilitate the SBs operations". It will include the following modules: a simple online reporting form for branch level event reporting. a ready tool-kit to be used for membership drives (containing all the information and materials). a monitoring system to evaluate the monthly performance of SB’s organizing committee members by the counselor. a repository for IEEE volunteers where local volunteers can register themselves, evaluated by counsellor and then will be accessible for the events. an announcement and broadcasting module to update all the members about important events, grants etc. a training module comprising of online courses, lectures for young professional/leaders training. At this level we plan to start with this basic interactive website to enhance the role of SBs and helps them in sating active within their respective region..

Market Strategy. We will be using digital marketing on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter, WhatsApp, and other social media platforms for robust/seamless online presence. Another technique which we will prefer to use is Target Audience Marketing (TAM), it is used to market the various categories of consumers by segmenting the target audience..

Distribution Strategy. Our distribution strategy aims to drive easy access to our users to meet our goals. We will adopt these methods..

Financial Considerations. ‹#›. Mr. Sandeep Dogiparthi.

Implementation Strategy. Project implementation will have three major phases. Throughout the process, we propose to follow the AGILE methodology. Data Collection Phase: connect IEEE leadership bodies (MGA, Sections, Subsections) and collect the actual data about currently available Resources. Development Phase: This phase includes all the Website development, and Graphics required . Promotion: Open call for ambassadors, webinars, etc..
