The Computer Society sponsors workshops and conferences, publishes a variety of peer-reviewed literature, operates technical committees, and develops IEEE computing standards. It supports more than 200 chapters worldwide and participates in educational activities at all levels of the profession, including distance learning, accreditation of higher education programs in computer science, and professional certification in software engineering.

IEEE Computer Society SBC GECBH is the leading Student Branch Chapter in terms of member count and member retentivity. The dedicated volunteers of the CS SBC have successfully orchestrated numerous events throughout the preceding year. In addition to these, the Student Branch Chapter releases informative and helpful digital initiatives on technological advancements in the industry to keep the readers up to date. Notably, the SBC has successfully executed its flagship event, ALTERDIME, a comprehensive program featuring talks, workshops, and competitions. Having been awarded the Best Emerging Student Branch Chapter Award for the years 2019 and 2020 and Outstanding Computer Society Student Branch Chapter Award in 2021, the IEEE CS SBC GECBH is set to lead the endeavour toward enriching both itself and its members.
