On November 3, 2024, at the Hokkaido Section Joint Convention of Institutes of Electrical and Information Engineers held at Hokkaido University, the following three student branches jointly organized a student exchange party.

• IEEE Hokkaido University Student Branch
• IEEE Muroran Institute of Technology Student Branch
• IEICE Muroran Institute of Technology Student Branch

Five students from the following universities gave presentations:

• Muroran Institute of Technology
• Hokkaido University of Science
• Hokkaido University
• Chitose Institute of Science and Technology
• Kyoto Institute of Technology

Mr.Saito, Chair of IEEE Hokkaido University Student Branch (HU SB), was in charge of setting up the venue, and Mr.Ishizaki, Treasurer of IEEE HU SB, gave a presentation on the activities of IEEE SB and the advantages of establishing a branch.

Through the presentations and Q&A sessions, we were able to learn about student life in other universities and laboratories, and had a very meaningful time.

IEEE SBLTW 2024 was held at National Olympics Memorial Youth Center on Thursday, August 29.
M2 Saitoh and M1 Ishisaki from Hokkaido University SB participated.

In the morning, Dr. Akihiko K. Sugiyama gave a Student Activities Workshop.
First, Dr. Sugiyama gave a lecture titled “Easy to Read and Engaging Presentation,” in which participants learned how to create easy-to-understand slides for research presentations. In the group work session, participants used the slides they had prepared in advance and discussed how to modify them to make them easier to understand. Finally, each group summarized the results of their discussions and gave a presentation, receiving feedback from Dr. Sugiyama for each group.
The lessons learned in this session will be of great help to the participants in creating slides in the future.

In the afternoon, the poster session was held as part of the Student Branch Activity Report. In the session of the Hokkaido University SB, we explained our research and SB activities. Through discussions with various students, We think we were able to obtain good knowledge and inspiration.

Mr. Tanaka from IEEE Hokkaido Univ. Student Branch participated in IEEE Japan YP Study lab 2024 in Sendai on May 18 (Sat).

This event was organized by IEEE Sendai Section Young Professionals Affinity Group (Sendai YP AG) and IEEE Kansai Section Young Professionals Affinity Group (Kansai YP AG). The event aims to improve the skills of engineers and researchers.

In the morning, the lecture on creating a website using Github and ChatGPT was held. In the afternoon, the LaTeX study session using Overleaf was held.
After these sessions , we had a meaningful time sharing information about each chapter’s activities and future plans.

Thank you very much to Sendai YP AG and Kansai YP AG.

The Internet Symposium organized by the IEICE Hokkaido Section Student Activity Committee co-organized by the IEEE Hokkaido University Student Branch will be held as follows. This symposium is an event for students, where research presentations and question-and-answer sessions are all held on the website. It would be greatly appreciated if you could use this symposium as a place to present and discuss your research results. We look forward to your participation.

This event was organized by IEEE Nagoya section young professionals affinity group (Nagoya YP) and IEEE Kansai section young professionals affinity group (Kansai YP). This event was the workshop of Raspberry Pi and Overleaf to improve the skills of engineers and researchers.

IEEE members came to the workshop from all over Japan. After the workshop , we had a meaningful time to share the activities and discuss about future plans of each section. Thanks for Nagoya YP and Kansai YP for holding.

Mr. Kunii and Mr. Saito participated in IEEE SBLTW 2022 held in Naha, Okinawa, Japan on November 18 and 19, 2022.

On the first day, each university and student branch reported each other’s activities in the poster session.
There, in addition to research topics, we discussed future activities in the Student Branch. It was a meaningful exchange of opinions.

On the second day, we engaged in group discussions based on a theme set by the University of the Ryukyus SB. In the discussion, we discussed about regional development and had a valuable opportunity to make a presentation.

It was the first opportunity to hold IEEE SBLTW in the midst of the COVID-19 disaster. We would like to thank the Student Branch of the Ryukyu university for setting up and running the venue.
