Abstract :
IEEE now has a student honor society. The long standing HKN or Eta Kappa
Nu Association (more about the name later) has moved under the umbrella of
IEEE as IEEE-HKN. IEEE and HKN developed independently over the last century,
although they have shared many common members and concerns. With HKN as an
organizational unit within IEEE, even closer cooperation is expected between
the organizations, and HKN will enhance student opportunities within IEEE.
This article provides an overview of HKN development and points to ways IEEE
student activities may benefit.
