Brianne Tengan, an Electrical Engineer at BAE Systems Inc., has been instrumental in revitalizing the IEEE Hawaii Section.

 

During the 2022-2023 period, the Hawaii Section struggled due to the pandemic, with inactive chapters and limited participation. Brianne facilitated identifying new enthusiastic chapter officers, restarting the Student Branch at UHM and working to establish the new Hawaii Pacific University Student Branch, established a social media presence to promote Section and Chapter activities, established programs and events to increase and retain Student and Young Professionals, and formed a new Chapter and Affinity Groups to broaden appeal to local community of engineers.

 

During 2024 elections, Brianne was elected Hawaii Section Chair and extended her influence to IEEE Region 6 as the Young Professionals Coordinator. She continues to positively impact students and young professionals.

 

For her outstanding contributions, Brianne Tengan has been recognized with the IEEE-USA Jim Watson Student Professional Awareness Achievement Award. Please join us in congratulating Brianne on this well-deserved honor! 👏✨
