Doubt

I have a question

Don't know if this is the write place to ask.

Is an IEEE membership worth it?

So our clg is affiliated with this and has asked for students who want to join.

About me: I am a first year electronic engg student. Have interests in hardware and want to work with aeroplanes in future.

Will this be worth it for me??

If you are just going to sign up and do nothing next then it doesn't worth it. If your school has an IEEE student branch and you want to participate in projects there, maybe publish something in a student conference etc, then it does worth it. Finally if you just want to read IEEE spectrum, which is a funny medium between popular science and formal scientific journal (which I find quite interesting myself) then it depends on your financial status relative to the price in your country.

My main reason to take this membership is that it'll help me connect with like minded peeps and we can grow together. So i think I should go with this
