The IEEE is divided into ten geographic regions worldwide. Within those regions are more than 325 local Sections and with over 1,700 Technical Chapters that unite local members with similar technical interests. Members of the IEEE automatically become members of their local IEEE Section, allowing them to share technical, professional and personal interests with others in IEEE's worldwide member community.
IEEE South Brazil Section belongs to IEEE Region 9 (Latin America). It was created in 1966, and represents the Brazilian States of São Paulo, Paraná, Santa Catarina, and Rio Grande do Sul.

  The Continued Education Program of the Polytechnic School - PECE/Poli - from São Paulo University (USP) was created in 1973, with the objective to spread out the knowledge of the Poli to the productive sector, paying attention to the claims of the civil society worried about its human resource qualified formation, and other main University’s activity, which is the Extension Education.

Following the new procedures originated from the USP’s new statute, in 1987, the PECE/Poli became a paradigm for the national continued education, serving as an example of organization for several USP’s unities and similar universities in Brazil.

The success of this idea can be regarded by more than 30.000 professionals, who were already qualified in this period by PECE/Poli extension courses.
