4. 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.
6. 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.
8. 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.
9. IEEE Quick Facts
