What is IEEE?
IEEE and its members inspire a global community to
innovate for a better tomorrow through its more than 423,000 members in over 160
countries, and its highly cited publications, conferences, technology standards,
and professional and educational activities. IEEE is the trusted “voice” for
engineering, computing, and technology information around the globe.
History of IEEE?
IEEE’s roots go back to 1884 when electricity began
to become a major influence in society. There was one major established
electrical industry, the telegraph, which since the 1840s had come to connect
the world with a data communications system faster than the speed of
transportation. The telephone and electric power and light industries had just
gotten underway.
Why IEEE?
IEEE membership offers access to technical
innovation, cutting-edge information, networking opportunities, and exclusive
member benefits. Members support IEEE's mission to advance technology for
humanity and the profession, while memberships build a platform to introduce
careers in technology to students around the world.
