Electrical engineering professor Mohammed Khalid has been elected to the executive committee of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Canada.

IEEE is the world's largest technical professional organization dedicated to advancing technology for the benefit of humanity. It has more than 400,000 members worldwide, including more than 16,000 in Canada. Membership offers access to technical innovation, cutting-edge information and networking opportunities.

As the 2019 chair of the IEEE Canada’s central area, Dr. Khalid will plan, co-ordinate, and monitor the activities of seven sections with more than 8,000 members — including such large ones as Toronto and Kitchener-Waterloo.

“I am looking forward to working with the IEEE Canada executive team and volunteers to serve our members,” Khalid said.

He was the IEEE Windsor section chair from January 2017 to December 2018. Under his leadership, it received IEEE Canada’s Exemplary Section Award for its activities, leadership, management, and administration.
