GoalsOne of WNC Section goals is to provide the WNC members an opportunity to participate in technical, informational, educational and social activities. The section also wants to provide awareness of area engineering activities to the IEEE members and to encourage the growth of Engineering Technology activity in the area. We also encourage and support area Student Engineering educational programs, activities and facilitate employer participation. To achieve these goals it is essential for members to participate in section functions. Attending monthly meetings is an excellent opportunity for members to share their technical expertise, experiences and knowledge. We are open to and strongly encourage members to provide suggestions and comments. Please contact Jim Corr or anyone of our officers.
