Young Profession Gathering in conjunction with IEEE Day
In conjunction with IEEE Day 2026, the IEEE Curtin Sarawak Student Branch presents a Young Professionals (YP) Gathering, bringing together students, faculty, professionals, and IEEE members to explore what comes after student membership. IEEE Day itself commemorates the first time in history when engineers worldwide and IEEE members gathered to share their technical ideas, in 1884, and this year marks its 16th anniversary on 6th October, under the global theme "Leveraging Technology for a Better Tomorrow." While IEEE Day celebrates innovation, collaboration, and the responsible use of technology to address global challenges, this gathering turns that spirit inward and toward the students themselves as well as the path ahead of them. As many prepare to graduate, the event offers a timely opportunity to understand how IEEE membership evolves beyond the classroom through the IEEE Young Professionals program. The gathering features two sharing sessions. The first is an impactful talk by Dr. Saaveethya Sivakumar, Chair of IEEE Young Professionals Committee, offering firsthand insight into how YP membership supports career development, leadership opportunities, and global networking after graduation. The second is an industrial sharing session by IEEE Curtin alumni, giving students a grounded, practical view of life after graduation from job-hunting and workplace expectations to how engineering knowledge translates into real industry roles. Through these sessions, the IEEE Curtin Sarawak Student Branch hopes to cultivate a culture of leadership, knowledge-sharing, and community engagement by connecting academic learning with real-world practice and motivating graduating students to stay engaged with IEEE as Young Professionals while stepping confidently into their careers.
