B.4 Students Activities B.4.1 Annual Event at Student Branches Seoul Section also has 11 Student Branches each in Chung-Ang University, Hanyang University, Inha University, Kon-Kuk University, Korea Advanced Institute of Science & Technology, Kwangju Institute of Science & Technology, Seoul National University, Korea University, Sogang University, Sung Kyun Kwan University, and Yonsei University. A Student Branch can be established in a university, in which 20 or more students take an initiative to form a branch. All of the activities of the student branch are planned and executed independently by students. At the end of the year, student branches have been successfully holding joint student paper contents with the support of the Section and study trips to local industries and research facilities. In 2006, IEEE Seoul Section dispatched delegation to IEEE Region 10 Student Congress (July 10-13), which was held in Beijing (27 students and 5 professors). The trip was partially funded by Samsung Electronics. The following are our student branches.
