Tour to West Point United States Military Academy
Power Chapter, Tour to West Point United States Military Academy, robotics, communications, information assurance, optoelectronics and computer architecture, Electrical Engineering Department
The History of West Point is integral to the history of the United States of America. From the day of its founding on March 16, 1802, a favorite expression at West Point is that "much of the history we teach was made by people we taught." Great leaders such as Grant and Lee, Pershing and MacArthur, Eisenhower and Patton, Schwarzkopf and Petraeus are among the more than 50,000 graduates. Countless others, following military service, have had distinguished careers in business, medicine, law, sports, politics, and science. The academy has a stellar engineering curriculum. Cadet studies in Electrical Engineering consist of a base of fundamental skills and knowledge followed by an opportunity to focus on a particular technology-based "thread" of study that include robotics, communications, information assurance, optoelectronics and computer architecture.
The boat ride is hosted by the West Point IEEE Student Branch for the IEEE Berkshire Section, the IEEE Mid-Hudson Section and the IEEE SUNY New Paltz IEEE Student Branch.
