Potentials Magazine provides 140,000 undergraduate and graduate students members of IEEE with a publication to address global issues, technology trends, and career development topics.

Bi-monthly publication focusing on educational and industry themes such as:

• Careers/graduate education
• Internet of Things
• Self-driving technology
• Student and YP Entrepreneurship

IEEE Potentials Magazine is a publication dedicated to undergraduate and graduate students and young professionals. IEEE Potentials explores career strategies, the latest in research, and important technical developments. Through its articles, it also relates theories to practical applications, highlights technology’s global impact, and generates international forums that foster the sharing of diverse ideas about the profession.

Submission of Papers: Prospective authors are invited to submit articles of
up to 4,000 words. Articles should be aimed at a student audience and
should not represent original research. The Potentials style requires no
abstract, no citations from within the main text and minimal equations, but liberal
use of relevant, captioned illustrations and photographs is encouraged.
