IEEE Advancing Technology for the Benefit of HumanityHoward E. Michel, Ph.D.IEEE 2011 Vice-PresidentMember and Geographic Activities1Our Mission. . .Foster Technological Innovation And Excellence For The Benefit Of Humanity 2This is the new mission statement for the IEEE.

A few years ago, the IEEE Board of Directors and staff developed a new strategic plan for the organization. This included a new approach to developing strategies that support the plans implementation.

The strategic plan emphasizes long-term goals that will add value to the technical community and to the technical professions, rather than focusing on internal operations.

IEEE organizational units are implementing the strategy and are engaging in a range activities designed to clarify vision, values, and goals. These activities also ensure that the volunteer leaderships time is spent on issues that matter most to IEEE.Our HeritageAIEE (1884) American Institute of Electrical EngineersIRE (1912) Institute of Radio EngineersIEEE (1963) Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers from merger of AIEE & IREThe history of IEEE dates back more than 125 years to the founding of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers or AIEE.

It was founded by American industrialists to develop a skilled workforce and prepare standards for U.S. electrical industries. Bell and Edison were founding members.

The IRE or Institute of Radio Engineers was formed in 1912 by radio electronics pioneers who did not feel fully at home in an electric power-oriented AIEE. The IRE differed from the AIEE also in that it was positioned at inception to be global.

Overlapping membership and technology interests led to the formation of IEEE in 1963 with a merger of the AIEE and IRE.

Award winning IEEE SPECTRUM Magazine print and online

Publications

13IEEE Spectrum magazine is IEEEs award-winning flagship publication.

Its Website features Spectrum Radio, Webcasts, RSS Feeds and Blogs, among others.

The magazine has received such awards as the American Business Media Grand Neal Award for articles on Iraqs need for stable power and communications, as well as numerous others.

Standards

IEEE the leading developer of global industry standardsEstablished standards development programOver 900 published standards; 400 in development. Portfolio of development programs, products, and servicesEnhanced global adoption of IEEE standards -- IEC, ISO, and ITU.

14IEEE is the leading developer of global industry standards in a broad-range of industries, including Power and Energy, Biomedical and Healthcare, Information Technology, Telecommunications, Transportation, Nanotechnology, Information Assurance and Battery Technology, among others.

The IEEE Standards Association offers an established standards development program noted for its balance, openness, due process, and consensus.

In addition to the prominent 802 Standards, IEEE has over 900 other published standards with more than 400 in development. There are approximately 100 new and revised standards annually.

IEEE provides a complete portfolio of standards development programs, products, and services including individual and entity membership, working group support services, governance, publishing, and more.

IEEE has enhanced global adoption of IEEE standards through partnerships with the International Electrotechnical Commission, the International Standards Organization, and the International Telecommunications Union.Education ProgramsIEEE Expert NowEducation Partners ProgramSkills CertificationsIEEE Pre-University ProgramsPre-University Teacher In-Service Program (TISP)TryEngineering.orgAccreditation

15IEEE Expert Now is comprised of more than 65 one-hour interactive online courses in IEEEs technical areas of interest.Subscriptions are available for Corporate, University, Government and Individual Members. Participants can earn continuing education units and professional development hours.

The IEEE Education Partners Program offers online courses from university and corporate institutions at a discount.

IEEE also offers several skills certifications. These include the IEEE Computer Society Certified Software Development Professional Program and the Wireless Communications Engineering Technology Certification Program from the IEEE Communications Society.

IEEE Pre-University Programs connect engineers and educators. The Pre-University Teacher In-Service Program (TISP) for Sections features IEEE volunteers developing and presenting technical subject matter to pre-university educators in a professional development setting.Tryengineering.org is a Web site for engineering and engineering education for counselors, teachers, parents and students. It is a joint project of IEEE, IBM and the New York Hall of Science. IEEE also is responsible for carrying out the accreditation process for U.S engineering and engineering technology programs. IEEE also participates in international accreditation activities.

Global InitiativesIndia office opens in Bangalore in 2010China office completes 2 years of operations from BeijingSingapore office relocates and expands

19With the largest single-country membership in IEEE, India has been the focus of increased interest by IEEE and officially opened an office in Bangalore in 2010.

For several years, IEEE has been expanding its relationships in China and looking for ways to better serve members there. The Beijing office was established in 2008.

IEEE also relocated its Singapore office in order to expand IEEE support for members and customers in the Pacific Rim region..

Brazil also is being evaluated as the possible location for another IEEE office.

IEEE continues to look across the globe for growth opportunities.

Relationships With Other National SocietiesSpans more than 40countries49 national society agreements25 sister society agreements : ex. IEEE Computer Society and U.K. org.Common interest, mutual benefitAgreements extend back several decades The IEEE has more than 70 agreements with National Societies, spanning over 40 countries. Many of the IEEE Technical/Sister Societies have additional agreements signed with both the National Societies and industry associations.

20The 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. 21The vision for the new 10- to 15-year plan, known as the Envisioned Future, is for the IEEE to be essential to the global technical community and to technical professionals everywhere, and to be universally recognized for the contributions of technology and of technical professionals in improving global conditions.

The new tagline, Advancing Technology for Humanity, is a continual reminder of that vision for the future of the worlds largest association for the advancement of technology.
