About the IEEE Computer Society

The Purdue University Computer Society is a student chapter of the national IEEE Computer Society. Our goals are to spread knowledge about computer engineering and technology, to get students involved in outside of class engineering projects, and to provide computing resources to students and student organizations. Every year, the Computer Society is involved with organizing events related to the fields of computer science and engineering. Stop by our office in EE 014 during our office hours for more information.

The Computer Society works with the Purdue Linux Users Group to sponsor presentations from Purdue, the industry, and other groups. We also present educational sessions called short courses from time to time.

The Computer Society maintains an open-source software FTP mirror. We also provide members with computer shell accounts, and provide webspace and mailing lists to other Purdue Student Organizations.
