During January 2017, CEDA President, Shishpal S. Rawat, visited CEDA's chapter in India.  He met with the officers in Delhi and Kolkata and provided them with information on various awards made possible through CEDA as well as the IEEE Education Advisory Board.  Discussions were also held to bring about industry/faculty/student events that CEDA could sponsor.  Also discussed was the opportunity for participation by chapters in various activities such as the Women in Engineering and Distinguished Lecture programs sponsored by CEDA.
