IEEE at MSU–Jackson County Campus
Connecting electrical engineering students at Mississippi State University’s Jackson County Campus with technical learning, professional networking, IEEE resources, and the IEEE Mississippi Section.
A new IEEE student community on the Mississippi Gulf Coast.
The IEEE Student Branch at MSU–Jackson County Campus is the newest student branch in the IEEE Mississippi Section. Its first joint meeting with the Section was held on May 14, 2026, at the campus in Gautier.
The branch gives Mississippi State electrical engineering students at the Jackson County location a direct connection to IEEE technical resources, professional programs, Section meetings, and the broader engineering community.
