IEEE Eastern NC Section

• The local IEEE organization is the Eastern North
  Carolina Section (ENCS) http//www.ewh.isss.org/r3
  /enc/. This encompasses the greater Raleigh area,
  east to the coast. There is a subsection
  organization for the Lower Cape Fear area. In the
  ENCS we have approximately 3000 members. This
  makes us the 2nd largest section in the South
  East United States. Active chapters in ENCS
  include

• Computer Society
• Electromagnetic Compatibility
• Geoscience and Remote Sensing
• Engineering Management Society

• Engineering in Medicine and Biology
• Power Engineering/Industrial Applications
• Robotics and Automation
• Neural Networks

• Communications Signal Processing Information
  Technology
