16.4.1. ACM - (Association for Computing Machinery)

The ACM chapter at the University provides a number of services for anyone interested in Computer Science. Every semester they give a series of tutorials covering such topics as using and customizing your CSE Labs UNIX account, how to set up your own web page, dialing in from home, filtering your mail, using TeX, etc. They have test files, study groups, speakers, job postings, social events and more. For information, check the ACM web site at http://acm.cs.umn.edu/ or visit the ACM office in Keller Hall 2-204.

16.4.2. IEEE - (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers)

The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) is the world's largest technical professional society. IEEE focuses on advancing the theory and practice of electrical, electronics, computer engineering and computer science. IEEE sponsors many technical conferences and publishes nearly 1/4 of all technical papers in electrical engineering, electronics and computer engineering.
