What is IEEE ?

What is IEEE ?

o  A non-profit organization, IEEE is the world's leading professional association of engineers, for the advancement of technology.

o The IEEE name was originally an acronym for the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc. Today, the organization's scope of interest has expanded into all fields of engineering, that it is simply referred to by the letters I-E-E-E.

Who can join ?

Who can join IEEE ?

o Membership in the IEEE is open to individuals who by education or experience give evidence of competence in an IEEE designated field of interest.

o The designated fields are, in broad terms: • Engineering• Computer Science and Information Technology• Physical Sciences• Biological and Medical Sciences• Mathematics• Technical Communications• Education• Management• Law• and Policy.

Formation

Formation

o The IEEE formed in 1963 with the merger of • the AIEE (American Institute of Electrical Engineers, formed in

1884), and• the IRE (Institute of Radio Engineers, formed in 1912).

o From its earliest origins, the IEEE has • advanced the theory and application of electro-technology and

allied sciences• served as a catalyst for technological innovation• and supported the needs of its members through a wide

variety of programs and services.

IEEE Quick FactsIEEE has:o more than 400,000 members in more than 160 countries; more than 50 per

cent of whom are from outside the United States;o more than 107,000 student members; o 333 sections in 10 geographic regions worldwide;o 2,110 chapters that unite local members with similar technical interests;o 2,669 student branches at colleges and universities in 80 countries;o 922 student branch chapters of IEEE technical societies; ando 404 affinity groups - IEEE Affinity Groups are non-technical sub-units of one or

more Sections or a Council. o has 39 societies and 7 technical councils representing the wide range of

IEEE technical interests;o has more than three million documents in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library with

more than eight million downloads each month;o has more than 1,500 standards and projects under development;o publishes more than 148 transactions, journals and magazines;o sponsors more than 1,300 conferences in 81 countries while: 

• partnering with more than 1,100 non-IEEE entities globally;• attracting more than 387,000 conference attendees; and• publishing more than 1,300 conference proceedings via IEEE Xplore.

All information as of 31 Dec 2014. Updated every year.

• Welcome one new member

“Volunteers are not paid, not because they are worthless but because they are priceless”

IEEE Student Branch

Why have a Student Branch ?

o Gives students the opportunity to meet and learn from fellow students, faculty members and professionals in the field

o An active IEEE SB can be one of the most positive elements in a department offering programs in IEEE designated fields of Engineering, Computer Science and Information Technology and others

o Seminars with guest speakers, who are professionals working in the field, enable students to enhance their knowledge outside the classroom.

o Joint seminars let students meet and talk with other interested students.

o Student Professional Awareness Conferences (S-PACs) • increase awareness of professional issues such as ethics, continuing

education, and communication skills.o The Student Professional Awareness Venture (S-PAVe)

• gives teams of IEEE Student members the opportunity to develop project proposals to increase professional awareness

• receive funding to implement the project.

Benefits of a Branch

o Participation in regional conferences, leadership training workshops and develop leadership, interpersonal and team building skills.

o Participation in awards, scholarships and project/design programs and student paper contests.

o Establishment of a Student Branch Library with IEEE's publications.

o Access IEEE online services and resourceso Establish a web site.
