IEEE SSCS Kerala Chapter

What IEEE SSCS Kerala Chapter does

IEEE SSCS Kerala Chapter is a regional non-profit professional society chapter operating under the IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society (a global organization of over 100 chapters) and the IEEE Kerala Section. The chapter's core function is education and career development in solid-state circuits and integrated circuit design, targeting engineering students (3rd and 4th year BTech) in circuit branches (ECE, EEE, AEI, CS/IT) and early-career professionals in Kerala, India. It does not develop proprietary technology products; its offerings are programmatic—hands-on workshops on ASIC and FPGA design using industry-standard tools (Cadence, Vivado), webinars on semiconductor industry topics, access to IEEE SSCS publications (Journal of Solid-State Circuits, Solid-State Circuits Magazine), and career development programming.

The chapter operates through a network of 7 student branch chapters at engineering colleges across Kerala (Saintgits, Chegannur, COE Karunagapally, Amaljyothi, LBS, COE Kalloopara, VISAT), three regional hubs (Kochi, Malabar, Travancore), and parallel Student and Professional Execom structures. It is led by a volunteer executive committee including a Chair (Dr. Ayoob Khan T E), Founder Chair (Prof. Muhammed Kasim S), Vice Chair, Secretary, and functional chairs for Education Activities, Industry Engagement, Research & Publication, WiE (Women in Circuits), and Conferences. The chapter co-organizes events with C-DAC Trivandrum, ER&DCI Institute of Technology, IEEE Malabar and Kochi Subsections, and IEEE EdSoc and CASS Kerala Chapters.

The revenue model is non-commercial: event registration fees range from Rs. 100 to Rs. 500 per event and are typically refunded at the venue for SSCS members, suggesting operations are funded via IEEE parent society support, event sponsorships, or volunteer contributions rather than direct revenue generation. The chapter's go-to-market is community-led and event-driven, reaching members through IEEE Kerala Section networks, partner engineering college venues, social media, email newsletters, and word-of-mouth.
