Currently, more than 190 Yellow Jackets are members of Tech\u0026rsquo;s IEEE PES chapter, covering undergraduates, master\u0026rsquo;s and Ph.D. students, and alumni. Many different events\u0026ndash;such as technical talks by scholars and industry experts worldwide, career and scholarship information sessions, resume workshops, and picnics\u0026ndash;are organized regularly each semester. During the fall 2020 semester, the Georgia Tech IEEE PES student branch chapter recruited 33 new members and organized 12 events. The technical talk speakers represented universities, companies, and labs such as Virginia Tech, EPFL in Switzerland, National Renewable Energy Laboratory, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, Dominion Energy, and ABB. They gave excellent and informative talks on current topics like renewable energy, power electronics, big data applications, and smart cities.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EFounded in 1970, the\u0026nbsp;\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/www.ieee-pes.org\u0022\u003EIEEE Power and Energy Society\u003C\/a\u003E\u0026nbsp;is the oldest society of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) focused on the scientific and engineering knowledge about electric power and energy.
