About UNR-IEEE
Our student Branch of IEEE Located at the University of Nevada, Reno is part of IEEE region six, Northern Nevada section. Here at UNR, our student branch is dedicated to spreading the word or IEEE and how IEEE benefits everyone in everyday life. We are lucky to have a beautiful large lounge located in Scrugham Engineering/Mines (SEM). Our lounge is equipped with large tables for studying, blackboards for those times you need something big to write on, a work bench for projects and testing, a computer equipped with electrical engineering software, a couch for those times you just need to relax, an honor fridge stocked with foods and drinks to keep one sustained, and lastly a ping-pong table and foosball table for those times you just want to goof off.
