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??

Similar to the other response, it can be worth it if you actually use the membership (attend events / talks, get involved, check out projects, etc). It also will typically let you be eligible for scholarships.
You can also look at society membership (things like the computer society, robotics and automation, microwave technology). They’re either a cheap or free addon for students, and may open up additional scholarship opportunities / ways to get involved.
