Section Report – Tainan Section

 

PART  A  -  SECTION SUMMARY

 

A.1  Financial Report

IEEE Tainan Section doesn’t have a bank account presently.

To apply for a bank account of IEEE Tainan Section, we need to get the official certificate issued by the Interior Ministry of Taiwan. IEEE Tainan Section has been approved as an official group by the Interior Ministry of Taiwan in January.

Once we received the certificate issued by the Interior Ministry, we’ll work on the application for an account and cash the check of 2005 rebate as soon as possible.

B.4  Chapter Activities

l      Summary of Chapter Activities

There are six Chapters in the Tainan Section: the Communications Society, the Antennas and Propergation Society, the Signal Processing Society, the Circuits and Systems Society, the Computational and Intelligence Society and the Computer Society.

1. AP-S Tainan Chapter

During the year 2005, the IEEE AP-S Tainan Chapter held 26 technical meetings and cosponsored 4 conferences and one short course. As for the membership development, 3 new members have been recruited and five members of the Chapter were elevated to senior-member grade. In 2005, the Tainan Chapter has successfully achieved most of the planned action items, including:

1.       We have improved the ways that connect members together. All the chapter activities were announced on the chapter website and also E-mailed to all the members of the chapter. The website address of the Chapter is: http://www.ieee.org/apstnc

2.       After the meetings, members can download the pictures, course materials, or minutes from

the chapter website.

3.       The number of the technical meeting has been greatly increased. (The number of the technical meeting for 2004 was 8 and it has been increased to 26 for 2005.)

4.  The number of Senior Member of Tainan Chapter has been greatly increased. (The number

of Senior Member for 2004 was 6 and it has been increased to 11 for 2005.)
