In 2014, the IEEE-USA launched the Student Professional Awareness Experience (SPAx) program with the goal of “Engaging, Exploring, and Experiencing.” The “x” in SPAx is a flexible component that can be tailored to meet specific needs. By replacing “x” with “Ve,” the program becomes the “IEEE Student Professional Awareness Venture.” This successful venture aims to educate and inspire future engineering leaders, helping them build successful careers. The venture consists of day-long workshops, seminars, and technical talks by industry experts to promote professional growth among students. This flagship event aims to teach students how to secure a lifelong career in engineering. The Student Professional Awareness Activities (SPAA) are structured to include presentations, sessions, team-oriented activities, and more, focusing on career development, professional integrity, personal and leadership skills, innovation, communication, and humanitarian grand challenges. The IEEE AIUB Student Branch is the largest and one of the most successful student branches in both the IEEE Bangladesh Section and IEEE Region 10. As a leader in membership development and professional and technical activities, the IEEE AIUB Student Branch has made history by organizing the first-ever Student Professional Awareness Venture (SPAVe) under the IEEE-USA SPAx program in the IEEE Bangladesh Section in 2016. The successful event was followed by SPAVe 2.0 in 2017, SPAVe 3.0 in 2018, SPAVe 4.0 in 2019, and SPAVe 5.0 in 2021 and SPAVe 6.0 in 2023. The SPAVe program under the IEEE AIUB Student Branch has been widely attended since its inception and has consistently drawn a large audience. Building upon the success and positive response of the previous year, the IEEE AIUB Student Branch has taken the ambitious step of conducting the 7th edition of their flagship event, “IEEE SPAVe 7.0,” in 2024. Like previous years, the event is supported by IEEE USA, IEEE Region 10, the IEEE Bangladesh Section, IEEE Young Professionals Bangladesh, and the IEEE Region-10 Student Activities Committee.
IEEE, the world’s largest technical professional organization, prioritizes comprehensive development for students and professionals in technical fields. The IEEE Professional Awareness Programs highlight the significance of non-technical skills alongside technical expertise for a successful career. Through Student Professional Awareness Activities (SPAAs), students engage in structured events featuring experts discussing key areas of professional development. These areas include Career Development, Professional Integrity, Personal Skills, Engineers and Public Policy, Leadership in Professional Organizations, Innovation Practices, Communication Skills, and Humanitarian Grand Challenges. SPAAs incorporate presentations, panel discussions, and hands-on team activities to foster practical skills and expand personal networks. These experiences enhance students' non-technical competencies, paving the way for diverse job opportunities and enabling them to contribute meaningfully to society. Professional awareness underscores the integral approach to engineering education and empowers engineers and future professionals to excel in their careers.
The IEEE-USA Student Professional Awareness Activities (SPAA) is focused on boosting the leadership, career, and professional development skills of engineering students. The IEEE SPAx builds upon the legacy of previous Student Professional Awareness Conferences and Ventures to address the constantly evolving world we live in today.The “x” in SPAx is a flexible component that can be adapted as needed. The IEEE AIUB Student Branch will organize the “IEEE Student Professional Awareness Venture” by replacing “x” with “Ve”. The objective of this successful venture is to educate and enrich the minds of future engineering leaders, helping them to sustain a successful career in their field. The venture includes day-long workshops, seminars, and technical talks by industry experts to support students’ professional growth. The motivation behind this flagship event is to educate students on securing a long-term career in engineering.
The IEEE AIUB Student Branch is the largest and one of the most accomplished student branches in the IEEE Bangladesh Section and IEEE Region 10. Renowned for its membership growth and professional and technical event organization, the branch made history in 2016 by hosting the first-ever Student Professional Awareness Venture (SPAVe) under the SPAx program of IEEE-USA in the Bangladesh Section, followed by SPAVe 2.0 in 2017, SPAVe 3.0 in 2018, SPAVe 4.0 in 2019, SPAVe 5.0 in 2021, and SPAVe 6.0 in 2023. Additionally, the Student Branch organized the first Student Professional Awareness Workshop (SPAW) in both the Bangladesh Section and Region 10 in 2018. These events were supported by IEEE USA, IEEE Region 10, IEEE Bangladesh Section, IEEE Young Professionals Bangladesh, and the IEEE BDS Student Activities Committee. The flagship programs included workshops, seminars, and technical talks designed to help students chart their future and establish successful professional careers.
