IEEE Today
• The world's largest professional association for the advancement of
technology (almost 420,000 members in over 160 countries).
IEEE is a non-profit organization
• Enabling technical professionals to distinguish themselves
in a globally competitive environment
• Promoting the public understanding and appreciation
of engineering
• Engineering is an honored profession
• IEEE member contributions improve the quality of life and make the world a
better place
• 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)
