IEEE Central Texas Section

IEEE Central Texas Section SWOT Analysis Strengths  Two year old chapter with enthusiastic officers! Weaknesses  Need more local speakers Opportunities  Local chip design and EDA companies, UT Austin  Co-sponsor events with other chapters Threats  Differentiate with other parent societies/chapters

IEEE Central Texas Section Chapter Plans TexasWISE 2015 One more workshop (Consultant workshop and co- sponsored by many other chapters) and one seminar have been planned for this year so far. Happy hour event at the end of Election in November.
