The IEEE Is...
...A World of Technology
The Institute of Electrical and Electronics
Engineers (IEEE) is the world's largest technical professional society. Founded
in 1884 by a handful of practitioners of the new electrical engineering
discipline, today's Institute is comprised of more than 320,000 members who
conduct and participate in its activities in 147 countries. The men and women of
the IEEE are the technical and scientific professionals making the revolutionary
engineering advances which are reshaping our world today.
...Achieving Goals
The technical objectives of the IEEE focus on
advancing the theory and practice of electrical, electronics and computer
engineering and computer science. To realize these objectives, the IEEE sponsors
technical conferences, symposia and local meetings worldwide: publishes nearly
25% of the world's technical papers in electrical, electronics and computer
engineering; provides educational programs to keep its members' knowledge and
expertise state-of-the-art. The purpose of all these activities is two fold: (1)
to enhance the quality of life for all peoples through improved public awareness
of the influences and applications of its technologies; and (2) to advance the
standing of the engineering profession and its members.
...Being a Leader
The IEEE, through its members, provides leadership in
areas ranging from aerospace, computers and communications to biomedical
technology, electric power and consumer electronics. For the latest research and
innovations in the many diverse fields of electrical and electronics
engineering, industry and individuals look to the IEEE.
If You Qualify, You Should Be a Member!
IEEE membership is open to
professionals with varying levels of academic accomplishment and work
experience. Member, Senior Member and Fellow grades are limited to those who
have achieved professional competence and recognition, as demonstrated by the
college degrees they have received and/or by their work experience. Associate
grade is open to certain technical and nontechnical applicants who may benefit
by membership and participation in the IEEE and, also, to those individuals
progressing through education and work experience toward Member grade. All
members - Associate, Member, Senior Member and Fellow pay the same low
membership dues and receive the same IEEE membership benefits and services,
although Associates may not vote in IEEE elections or hold volunteer offices for
which the grade of Member or higher is required. Student member applications are
available upon request. Student members have substantially discounted dues and
fees far below what other members pay.
