Welcome to the IEEE East Tennessee Section

Section Picnic A Success

The section held a picnic for members and guests at Melton Hill Park in West Knoxville on June 11, 2008. Severed thunderstorm warnings threatened to cancel the event an hour before it was to begin. But the storms subsided and passed Harden Valley. They did usher in cooler temperatures and clearing skies. Perfect for a picnic. Barbecue was enjoyed by all who attended.

Engineers and Scientists Sought for K-12 STEM

The Knoxville Chamber, Knox County Schools, and the Knoxville chapter of the Tennessee Society of Professional Engineers have started a website called Vols4STEM to act as a clearinghouse to link science and engineering professionals with students and educators. The Knoxville Chamber has requested that local technical society members show their interest in K-12 STEM outreach activities by completing their survey. If you complete the survey please enter IEEE in box 1. You can read more about the clearinghouse project in this Knoxville News Sentinel article.

This effort has prompted the IEEE East Tennessee Section to consider what programs we could offer for the Knox County Schools. If you would be interested in helping with this effort, please complete this questionnaire.
