4 What is IEEE? The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers

5 IEEE The World’s Largest Professional Society for the Advancement of Technology Mission: Foster technical innovation and excellence for the benefit of humanity Envisioned future: Be essential to the global technical community and to technical professionals everywhere…. and be universally recognized for the contributions of technology and of technical professionals in improving global conditions

6 A Bit of History American Institute of Electrical Engineers (AIEE) was founded in 1884 –Focused on electric power and wired communications The Institute of Radio Engineers (IRE) was founded in 1912 –Focused on radio/wireless communication, electrical amplification, and then electronics The two societies merged in 1963 to form the IEEE Currently celebrating our 125 th Anniversary

7 IEEE - the World’s Largest Technical Professional Society Over 382K members - Including 85,000 students - In over 160 countries ~ 1,400 Student Branches 324 Sections 38 Societies, 7 Technical Councils Over 1,600 Chapters A professional staff of ~ 1,000 Offices in NY, NJ, CA, Washington DC, Singapore, Tokyo, Beijing

8 The IEEE Today…. Annually sponsors and co-sponsors over 900 conferences worldwide Publishes over 30% of the world’s literature in electrical and electronics engineering, computing and related technologies – 144 journals and magazines – 17 of the top 20 journals in our field Has over 1.8 million documents in Xplore – Being added at a rate of ~ 15K/month Strong focus on education Offers over 900 active industry standards

9 IEEE Membership By Region 31 December 2007 Reflecting the global nature of IEEE, R8 and R10 are now the two largest IEEE Regions R9 – 15,410 R8 – 64,976 R10 67,157 R1 to 6 – 212,838 R7 – 15,947 R1 – 37,973 R2 – 32,363 R3 – 30,782 R4 – 23,555 R5 – 29,020 R6 – 59,145
