R5 Conference Funding will help support the Texas State IEEE Student Branch in competing in the R5 Conference with the hopes of sending students to compete in each competition offered The R5 conference has proven to be an invaluable experience for the chapter. Additionally, it has provided our members with the opportunity to network with other participating schools and IEEE members Amount Requested: $550.00

Best Robotics Volunteering for Best Robotics allows for Student Branch members to give back to the community by helping Middle school and High school students gain experience in engineering This event also allows for Members of the Student Branch to reach out to possible incoming engineering students and share the benefits of IEEE membership Funding will allow for there to be compensation for travel expenses such as gas and food Amount Requested: $100.00

Social Events Bobcat Build is an opportunity for members of the student branch to give back to the San Marcos community. Smash Bros. / Game night will give a chance for student branch members to get to know each other through getting together to relax and have fun with fellow members. Social events have brought about a sense of pride and camaraderie within the organization to not only inspire participation in the IEEE but also to encourage growth in the Student Branch. Workshops are held bi-weekly in conjunction with meetings to allow students to gain hands on experience (Digital Clocks, Robotics, etc.) and tutoring in a fun, relaxed environment. Amount Requested: $200.00

Marketing Material Flyers around campus stating meeting times and contact information to allow students to reach the officers. Advertising to promote the student branch and IEEE membership to those that may not know about the organization on campus T-Shirts designed by members of IEEE for members to receive for participating in the organization IEEE honors program, including stoles to be worn at graduation for members of the student branch who display exceptional participation and commitment Amount Requested: $50.00

IEEE PES and CS Student Branch Assistance IEEE PES and IEEE CS are two sister organizations at Texas State These funds will be used to assist those student branches financially, and encourage cooperation and collaboration between all three student branches for various events and projects This allows for special opportunities to reach out to other fields within Electrical Engineering, specifically Computer Science/Computer Engineering and Power Engineering. It also raises awareness about these lesser known fields of EE Amount Requested: $50.00

Proposed Use of CTS funding Proposed Uses for 2017/2018 Year $1000.00 R5 Conference $550.00 Best Robotics $100.00 Social Events $200.00 Marketing Materials $50.00 IEEE PES and CS Student Branch Assistance Total Requested CTS Funding
