Santa Clara Valley Section
The Santa Clara Valley (SCV) Section promotes the aims and objectives of the IEEE as stated in the IEEE Constitution and Bylaws. The Section concerns itself with all IEEE affairs taking place within the area prescribed by the IEEE as the territory of the SCV Section that geographically takes in all the peninsula cities south of Highway 92, plus the counties of Monterey, San Benito, Santa Clara, and Santa Cruz. The SCV, more popularly known as Silicon Valley, is one of the largest IEEE Section in the world in terms of membership as well as active chapters. IEEE Santa Clara Valley Section inspires Silicon Valley professionals and students to stay connected and to collaborate by creating and providing leadership programs to educate and to stimulate technological innovation, and engineering excellence.
Together with the San Francisco and Oakland East Bay sections we form the San Francisco Bay Area Council (SFBAC). Several of our chapters are joint across the Bay Area. If you want to know more contact us or join any of our events see Event Calendar or subscribe to the eGRID newsletter.
Join IEEE and be part of our SFBA community of engineers!
