2. 2011 ANNUAL ieee Election Candidates Miguel Piñeiro, E.E. - Electrical Engineer, B.S. from Florida International University Currently I am pursuing a Master’s degree from PUPR in Communications Systems.   Since January I have been working as a full time employee at PUPR as the Lab Technician in the Plasma Lab.  This August I will begin writing a thesis, focusing in Plasma Research. This past year, I served as vice-president of IEEE where we arranged several field trips, technical seminars, and proposals. As the leader of your branch I will organize many more technical seminars, field trips, and will begin to train students for the engineering industry. I will integrate the professional IEEE chapter with of our branch, and provide many networking opportunities with industry leaders. As your leader I will make sure that each one of you is satisfied with your branch, and its accomplishments.   Vote for a better IEEE
