About IEEE

The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) is the worlds largest technical professional society

dedicated to the advancement of technology. With well over 4 lac members who live and work in over 160 countries

and with more than 125 years of existence, the IEEE has the worlds largest knowledge base in engineering and

technology. Over 75,000 student members contribute to IEEEs growth. IEEE disseminates a wide variety of

information on technology by holding more than 350 international conferences annually and publishing over 30% of

the worlds literature in electrical engineering and computing. IEEE also maintains a leadership role in engineering

practice, offering more than 900 active industry standards.

Mission statement: IEEE's core purpose is to foster technological innovation and excellence for the benefit of humanity.

HistoryThe IEEE is incorporated under the Not-for-Profit Corporation Law of the state of New

York, United States. It was formed in 1963 by the merger of the Institute of Radio

Engineers (IRE, founded in 1912) and the American Institute of Electrical Engineers

(AIEE, founded in 1884).

The major interests of the AIEE were wire communications (telegraph and telephony)

and light and power systems. The IRE was concerned mostly with radio engineering

and was formed from two smaller organizations, the Society of Wireless and Telegraph

Engineers and the Wireless Institute. With the rise of electronics in the 1930s,

electronics engineers usually became members of the IRE, but the applications of

electron tube technology became so extensive that the technical boundaries

differentiating the IRE and the AIEE became difficult to distinguish. After World War II, the two organizations

became increasingly competitive, and in 1961, the leadership of both the IRE and the AIEE resolved to consolidate the

two organizations. The two organizations formally merged as the IEEE on January 1, 1963.

Notable Presidents of IEEE and its founding organizations include Elihu Thomson (AIEE, 18891890), Alexander

Graham Bell (AIEE, 18911892), Charles Proteus Steinmetz (AIEE, 19011902), Lee De Forest (IRE, 1930), Frederick E.

Terman (IRE, 1941), William R. Hewlett (IRE, 1954), Ernst Weber (IRE, 1959; IEEE, 1963), and Ivan Getting (IEEE,

1978).

IEEE Technical and

Geographical Units

In order to manage and co-ordinate the

activities of more than 4 lac members

worldwide the IEEE is structured into different

units and it is constituted by a body of elected

members. As IEEE student members weremore concerned with the happenings of

student branches, chapters, councils, sections,

regions etc. as highlighted in the IEEEs

structure summary chart. Well discuss these

in detail.

The IEEE is structured in two ways:

application areas and geographical divisions.

1. Division into application areasTechnical Society

One way of structuring IEEE is on basis of broad region of interest into different application areas focusing on a

specific theme. Such an application area is called Society. There are 42 societies in total as of now.

2. Geographical divisionsIEEE is geographically divided into 10 regions given as under:

Region 1 to 6 are within the United States

Region 7: Canada

Region 8: Europe, Middle East and Africa

Region 9: Latin America

Region 10: Asia and Australia

Geographical Council, Local Section, Sub-Section and

Student Branch

An IEEE region is primarily divided into local sections which

cater to the needs of specified geographical area. A geographical

council assists and coordinates the activities of selected localsections within a region, in order to benefit mutually, and avoid

duplication of effort and resources. Sub-sections may be created under a section for the purpose of organizing

activities of the section in a town. Each section oversees a number of student branches within its geographical scope.

A student branch is a student centric unit of IEEE at a college/university and is run by an executive committee

comprising of elected students and faculty members of that college/university. As compared to higher units such as

regions, sections, chapters, etc. which are dedicated to professionals as well, the student branches are completely

student oriented.

Lets take our Region 10 (more commonly referred as R10) which spans across Asia and Australia. Its divided into 57

sections, 10 of which are in India viz. Bangalore, Bombay, Calcutta, Delhi, Gujarat, Kerala, Kharagpur, Madras, Puneand Uttar Pradesh. These 10 sections are assisted by the IEEE India Council. The IEEE India Council is one of the five

geographical councils in R10 and was established in 1976. The Delhi section, also established in 1976, covers northern

The IEEE-NIEC Student Branch

History

The IEEE Student Branch of Northern

India Engineering College, New Delhi

was established in the year 2005 with

the name BOSON. It was reactivatedby the copious efforts of Dr. Yamini

S., Principal, NIEC and Shobhit

Aggarwal of ECE 2006-10 Batch in

February, 2009 under the direction of

Dr. Prerna Gaur, Chair, Student

Activities Committee, IEEE Delhi

Section.

BOSON was renamed to IEEE-NIEC

in September 2011 in order to avoidgiving the impression of an

independent college society.

Students from different engineering streams have shown their enthusiasm in joining IEEE. As of 2009 there were 58

members and 5 professional members. Out of the 58 members, IEEE-NIECs first active executive committee was

formed. On Jan 2012 there were 96 student members in our student branch.
