NUS IEEE-Eta Kappa Nu (HKN) Induction Ceremony 2025

On 30 August 2025, the IEEE-HKN Lambda Omega Chapter of NUS conducted the annual
induction ceremony to welcome 33 new members into the chapter. As the international
honour society of IEEE, HKN seeks to promote excellence in the profession and in education
amongst its student members, with the three ideals of Scholarship, Character and Attitude.
These individuals have thus proven their calibre through distinguished scholarship,
exemplary character and impeccable attitude throughout their career as Electrical and
Computer Engineering students.

Besides our new inductees, the ceremony was also attended by Dr. Rajesh Panicker, Dr.
Biplab Sikdar, Dr. Jithin Vachery, Dr. Sangit Sasidhar, Dr. Prahlad Vadakkepat and Dr. Idris
Lim, whose presence truly elevated the event as they inspired our new members on their
journey as Electrical and Computer engineers.

The ceremony kicked off with an introduction to the history of the chapter, its function and
upcoming events, followed by a ritual in which the inductees were informed of the qualities,
purposes, objectives and ideals of IEEE-HKN. They then took the binding pledge required of
all HKN members and were formally welcomed as fully-inducted members of IEEE-HKN. A
lunch networking session followed and our newly inducted members got to mingle with one
another, senior members, chapter officers and the Professors in attendance.

Congratulations to all our new inductees! IEEE-HKN warmly welcomes you to our society,
and we look forward to your continued contribution towards academic, professional and
technical excellence in Electrical and Computer Engineering!
