Electrical and Computer Engineering at TSU

This research guide is intended to provide resources to aid those in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at Tennessee State University. While these resources were curated with this department in mind, the resources found here may be found useful by those of any engineering discipline. If you would like more personalized and in-depth research help, contact the reference desk at TSU by phone at 615-988-6413, by text at 615-552-0986, or through the Ask a Librarian feature on the Libraries & Media Centers website. 

The subject liaison for the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at TSU is Aaron Khan. He may be contacted by phone at 615-963-5207 and email at akhan8@tnstate.edu

Association for Computing Machinery (ACM)-

ACM brings together computing educators, researchers, and professionals to inspire dialogue, share resources, and address the field's challenges. As the world’s largest computing society, ACM strengthens the profession's collective voice through strong leadership, promotion of the highest standards, and recognition of technical excellence. ACM supports the professional growth of its members by providing opportunities for life‐long learning, career development, and professional networking.

Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)-

IEEE will be essential to the global technical community and to technical professionals everywhere, and be universally recognized for the contributions of technology and of technical professionals in improving global conditions.

National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE)-

Purdue undergraduates Edward Barnette Jr. and Fred Cooper teamed with their faculty advisor, Arthur Bond, Ph.D., to launch a campus organization, the Black Society of Engineers (BSE), in 1971. For the next four years, the work of this student group helped significantly increase the recruitment and retention of Black engineering scholars at Purdue.

National Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE)-

NSPE membership gives engineers the tools and services they need to be better informed and better connected within their professional community.

Order of the Engineer-

The Order of the Engineer was initiated in the United States to foster a spirit of pride and responsibility in the engineering profession, to bridge the gap between training and experience, and to present to the public a visible symbol identifying the engineer.

The first ceremony was held on June 4, 1970 at Cleveland State University. Since then, similar ceremonies have been held across the United States at which graduate and registered engineers are invited to accept the Obligation of the Engineer and a stainless steel ring. The ceremonies are conducted by Links (local sections) of the Order.

The Order is not a membership organization; there are never any meetings to attend or dues to pay. Instead, the Order fosters a unity of purpose and the honoring of one’s pledge lifelong.

Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE)-

SHPE changes lives by empowering the Hispanic community to realize its fullest potential and to impact the world through STEM awareness, access, support, and development.

Society of Women Engineers (SWE)-

Empower women to achieve their full potential in careers as engineers and leaders; expand the image of the engineering and technology professions as a positive force in improving the quality of life, and demonstrate the value of diversity and inclusion.
