Our
IEEE SB was established in the former пїЅP. VolovпїЅ Artillery and Air Defense
Military Academy (AADMA). After Bulgaria obtained full NATO membership the
quantity of our cadets was reduced. As a result, the пїЅP. VolovпїЅ AADMA and two
other military academies were transformed in a new institution, named National
Military University. Our former academy was succeeded by the Faculty of
Artillery, Air Defense and Communication-Information Systems. Now our IEEE SB
consists of two parts. The smaller one are the cadets of the Faculty of
Artillery, Air Defense and Communication-Information Systems. The biggest one
are the students of the University of Shumen. In the past fifths years these
parts worked together very well, because both University of Shumen and the
former пїЅP. VolovпїЅ AADMA are located in city of Shumen and because they have
established a successful cooperation. As a result our SB was stabilized. For
instance, during the 2004-2014 academic years the number of the Members of our
SB was:
