The candidates shall be Electrical Engineering Students with sound background and integrative skills and aptitude towards research along with experiences correlating operating technologies with computer science, networks and connectivity (smart city, smart grids, smart buildings, smart manufacturing, etc.) and energy efficiency. Together with the university career CV, any work experience, internships, knowledge of English, familiarity with the use of Computer Systems and the Social Network will be positively evaluated.
You are eligible to apply for the scholarship if you are a student member of IEEE. Consider that, when you join IEEE, you join a community of over 425,000 technology and engineering professionals united by the common desire to continuously learn, interact, collaborate, and innovate. IEEE membership provides you with the resources and opportunities you need to: keep on top of changes in technology; get involved in standards development; network with other professionals in your local area or within a specific technical interest; mentor the next generation of engineers and technologists, and so much more.
