IEEE, be combined on January 1, 1963 by the AIEE (American Institute of Electrical Engineers) and the IRE (Institute of Radio Engineers U.S.) is the largest U.S. professional societies. IEEE is a non-profit Institute of Technology, has nearly 175 countries, more than 360,000 members all over the world. Through multiple members, this organization is in a position of authority in the field of space, computers, telecommunications, biomedicine, electric power and consumer electronics products. In the field of electrical and electronic engineering, computer and control technology, IEEE published literature about 30% of the world. IEEE sponsored or co-organized every year more than 300 technical sessions.
Since its beginning of foundation, IEEE has been committed to promoting the theoretical aspects of electrical technology in the development and application progress. As a catalyst for technological innovation, IEEE supports its members’ needs by planning and service in extensive field. Promoting science and technology and information exchange on technical areas from the computer engineering, biomedical, communications to electric power, aerospace, consumer electronics and so on, education training, development and recommendation of electrical, electronic technical standards, rewards membership with scientific and technological achievements.
Institute is leaded by the Chairman and the Executive Committee jointly. The council and congress make decisions on important matters of institute and the executive committee is responsible for daily affairs. Institute consists of superconducting, intelligent transportation system, neural networks and sensor 4 sub committees and 38 professional societies, such as power engineering, aerospace and electronic systems, computers, communications, broadcasting, circuits and systems, control systems, electronic devices, electromagnetic compatibility, industrial electronics, credit systems theory, project management, Microwave Theory and Techniques, nuclear and plasma ion science, marine engineering, power electronics, and electrical insulating dielectric reliability. Institute is also divided to 10 regions, and a total of more than 300 local branches. Congress is consisted of representatives from 10 regional braches and 10 technical braches. IEEE Beijing Branch was established in 1985.
IEEE members can enjoy the following preferential: members communicate with each other, sharing information; exclusive special cost savings and value-added benefits; recognizing and giving awards to members’ technical and professional achievements; participate, lead or voluntary assist IEEE opportunities; make e-commerce through network services and IEEE.
IEEE Standards include electrical and electronic equipment, test methods, components, symbols, definitions and test methods.
