IEEE NSU Student Branch, WIE Affinity Group

IEEE NSU Student Branch, WIE Affinity Group A sector of benefits, eligibility, and other opportunities for professional and student members of IEEE Women in Engineering. We're recruiting!

IEEE WIE NSU, an Affinity Group from NSU Student Branch, dedicated to promoting women and inspiring girls from North South University and around the world to follow their academic interests to a career in IT and engineering. This affinity group was established in 20th June 2016 and since then its members have been actively working on their events and projects. Historically in Bangladesh (and also in NSU), the female presence has been low in science and engineering subjects. So we have been working hard to encourage, engage and motivate the female students through IEEE opportunities for developing their skills in IT and engineering for professional career development. At the end of July 2016, the number of IEEE Student members in IEEE WIE Affinity Group NSU Student Branch had reached 50. We have conducted our first ever event on MATLAB Workshop placed at our home ground NSU which had immense response from the students as participants. We look forward to organize many other events on tech and workshop pretty soon. History of WIE Bangladesh Section:
2011 is the first full calendar year for women in Engineering (WIE) Affinity Group, IEEE Bangladesh Section. At the end of 2012, the number of female IEEE student members was above 80. At the end of 2014, the number of female IEEE member was around 56, graduate female IEEE member was 14, the undergraduate female IEEE student member was higher in number than in 2013. Due to the massive campaigning from the WIE affinity group, IEEE Bangladesh Section, most of the existing female student members of IEEE responded to our call and actively participated in the WIE activities in 2014 and 2015. Their huge interest and participation in the WIE activities clearly indicate that we have achieved an expected growth of the WIE affinity Group’s membership. In 2015 WIE AG, IEEE Bangladesh Section had 6 members, 25 graduate members and 191 student members. Up to June 2016 WIE AG, IEEE BD section has 4 student branches (4 more student branches are on the process of formation) with more than 400 members across the country. IEEE WIE is led by a diverse body of elected and appointed volunteer members. The governance structure includes boards for operational areas as well as bodies representing members in the 45 Societies and technical Councils and ten worldwide geographic regions. The WIE Committee (WIEC) is responsible for facilitating the development of programs and activities that:

- promote the entry into and the retention of women in engineering programs
- enhance the career advancement of women in the profession
- promote IEEE membership and retention of IEEE women members.

On July 22nd, 2025, the IEEE NSU Student Branch, WIE Affinity Group, in collaboration with the IEEE NSU Student Branch and the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at North South University, hosted the distinguished lecturer program titled “AURORA: A Distinguished Lecturer Program on Adaptive Electronics for Embedded Architectures.” The event featured Prof. Muhammad Mustafa Hussain, a global leader in flexible electronics and a professor at Purdue University.

The program commenced with opening remarks from Dr. Mohammad Abdul Matin, Chair of the ECE Department at North South University, who warmly welcomed Prof. Hussain and set the stage by emphasizing the importance of innovation in embedded electronics.

Prof. Hussain’s session offered a fascinating exploration into the future of electronics, centering on the groundbreaking AURORA initiative. He began by challenging participants to ask questions such as “Why?” and “Why not?” , encouraging a spirit of curiosity that is essential for innovation. He explained the limitations of traditional rigid electronics and introduced the concept of standalone flexible electronics that can bend, twist, and adapt to extreme and dynamic environments. Highlighting applications ranging from wearable health monitors and biodegradable sensors to self-healing chips, he showcased how these technologies could revolutionize healthcare, environmental monitoring, and space exploration. Prof. Hussain also detailed how innovations such as flexible 3D-integrated circuits allow electronics to maintain performance despite mechanical restrictions.

He further spoke about the global semiconductor landscape, emphasizing how countries like China, Taiwan, and the U.S. are shaping the industry and how Bangladesh has a promising role to play. He highlighted recent government investments in state-of-the-art fabrication and testing centers, and exciting projects like Bangladesh’s upcoming AI-based digital logic factory.

A lively Q&A session then followed, throughout which, Prof. Hussain engaged with the audience and responded to questions about emerging materials, integration methods like dye-to-dye packaging, and practical applications of flexible electronics in robotics and healthcare.

Following the session, Prof. Shazzad Hossain, Dean of the School of Engineering and Physical Sciences at North South University, addressed the attendees, sharing our university’s commitment to nurturing student interest and involvement in cutting-edge technology fields.

The event concluded with a note of thanks from Dr. Fariah Mahzabeen, Assistant professor of the ECE Department at North South University and the Faculty Advisor to the IEEE NSU Student Branch, WIE Affinity Group, expressing gratitude to Prof. Hussain for his insightful lecture and inspirational vision.

A group photo session followed, to commemorate the successful completion of a highly informative and motivating talk that sparked enthusiasm for deep tech innovation among students and faculty alike.
