AUT and UoA Student Branch Meeting
Date: 01/08/13
This meeting was about introducing and getting to know the other student branch in close vicinity. The
main purpose of this meeting was to gain useful information and ideas on running the student branch
from the UoA SB, as well as introducing ourselves so that in the future maybe we could work together and
do some conjoint events.

Yudhish Khatri
The event was deemed to be a success due to a very good turnout of students (50 non-member
attendance), one major motivation for students to attend was free pizza at the end.
Following the event we had stalls open one day a week for two weeks for students to sign-up at and also
get more information.
By the end of those two weeks our membership numbers have gone from 4 to 20.
Industry Speaker and CV, Cover letter Workshop
Date: 04/09/13
The workshop was being planned by the AUT SB working together with the careers manager of AUT. Its
main purpose was to educate the students on how to write a CV and Cover Letter properly and also we had
a guest speaker from Beca coming to talk to the students handling themselves in interviews; dress code
and presentation, speaking with the interviewer, types of questions they could encounter and how to
follow-up an interview.
This event was postponed and then later cancelled because the Industry Speaker was not able to make it
due to some unforeseen circumstances, and we could not find another replacement Industry Speaker in
such short notice.
Huntly Power Station Site Visit
Date: 17/09/13
A site visit was very successful. We had a turnout of 35 people and out of them 20 were IEEE members.
The site visit consisted of a 45min presentation and 1hr tour around the facility. Future information will
be added as we are currently making a L31 report.
