About IEEE
Posted by: admin in Program on August 13th, 2009
“Fostering technological innovation and excellence for the benefit of
humanity”
A non-profit organization, IEEE is the world’s leading professional association for the advancement of technology.
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 so many related fields, that it is simply referred to by the letters I-E-E-E (pronounced Eye-triple-E).
Who IEEE Serves
| Through its global membership, IEEE is a leading authority on areas ranging from aerospace systems, computers and telecommunications to biomedical engineering, electric power and consumer electronics among others.
Members rely on IEEE as a source of technical and professional information, resources and services. To foster an interest in the engineering profession, IEEE also serves student members in colleges and universities around the world. Other important constituencies include prospective members and organizations that purchase IEEE products and participate in conferences or other IEEE programs. |
IEEE Quick Facts
| IEEE has*: » more than 370,000 members, including more than 80,000 students, in over 160 countries; » 319 sections in ten geographic regions worldwide; » 1676 chapters that unite local members with similar technical interests; » more than 1,526 student branches at colleges and universities in 80 countries; » 39 societies and 5 technical councils representing the wide range of technical interests; » 132 transactions, journals and magazines; » more than 450 IEEE sponsored or cosponsored conferences worldwide each year; » over 900 active IEEE standards and more than 400 in development. *Data current as of 31 Dec 2006 |
Membership
| There are more than 365,000 IEEE members in over 150 countries around the world
IEEE members are engineers, scientists and allied professionals whose technical interests are rooted in electrical and computer sciences, engineering and related disciplines. The highest grade of membership – IEEE fellow – is attained through nomination by peers and approval by the IEEE Board of Directors for distinction in the profession. |
Publications
| The IEEE publishes nearly a third of the world’s technical literature in electrical engineering, computer science and electronics.
This includes about 130 journals, transactions and magazines and over 400 conference proceedings published annually. In cooperation with John Wiley and Sons, Inc., the IEEE also produces technical books, monographs, guides and textbooks. IEEE journals are consistently among the most highly cited in electrical and electronics engineering, telecommunications and other technical fields. |
Digital Library
| All IEEE content since 1988 plus select content dating back to 1950 is available in digital format.
The IEEE Xplore® digital library contains more than 1.2 million documents from IEEE and IEE journals, transactions, magazines, letters, conference proceedings and active IEEE standards. |
Conferences
| Each year, over 100,000 technical professionals attend the more than 300 conferences sponsored or cosponsored by the IEEE.
From microelectronics and microwaves to sensors and security, IEEE conferences cover relevant topics that showcase the depth and breadth of members’ technical fields. |
Standards
| The IEEE is a leading developer of international standards that underpin many of today’s telecommunications, information technology and power generation products and services.
Often the central source for standardization in a broad range of emerging technologies, the IEEE Standards Association has a portfolio of some 900 active standards and more than 400 standards in development. This includes the prominent IEEE 802® standards for wireless networking. |
Education Offerings
| By awarding continuing education units and professional development hours, the IEEE helps its members meet their continuing education requirements, and develops products and services in support of these efforts.
The IEEE is an authorized provider of continuing education units through the International Association of Continuing Education and Training. At the pre-college level, the IEEE works with industry, universities and government to raise students’ literacy in science, math, engineering and technology. |
Grants
| Through the IEEE Foundation General Fund and over 80 smaller special-purpose funds, the IEEE Foundation provides approximately US$2 million in philanthropic support each year to IEEE-related programs worldwide.
This support helps • develop educational and public-information programs; |
Awards
Accomplishments in IEEE technical fields are recognized with annual awards for outstanding contributions to technology, society and the engineering profession.
The IEEE Medal of Honor, the IEEE’s highest award, recognizes an individual for an exceptional contribution or extraordinary career in the IEEE fields of interest. Past recipients have included such visionaries as:
• Guglielmo Marconi (1920, for radio telegraphy)
• William Shockley (1980, for junction, analog and junction field-effect transistors)
• Andrew S. Grove (2000, for pioneering research in metal oxide semiconductor devices and technology)
