After attending the brief presentation bring out by IET (Gary Lee - Hong Kong Representative) on 19 October 2009 in Swinburne. Dr Kho Yau Hee and I feel that is good idea for all the engineering students to be getting connected with each others by FORMING A STUDENT CHAPTER in SWINBURNE. Personally, i had join IET for more than 2 years. Many more of our Swinburne Lecturers and Professors are member of IET (MIET). That is why, we feel that our SWINBURNE ENGINEERS should know more about this INSTITUTION.
