  9. Electromagnetic Compatibility Society Chapter Chair: Jim Blaha GE Healthcare Purpose: Founded in 1957, EMC is the study of all Electrical and Electronic Product Applications to determine how they respond to Exterior Electromagnetic Fields and how the Product itself Pollutes the Electromagnetic Environment we live in. IEEE C95.1-2005 Standard for Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz

  10. Magnetics Society Chapter Chair: Mark Juds Eaton Corporation Purpose: The Magnetics Society focuses on the fundamental developments, design, and certain applications of magnetic devices. This includes consideration of materials and components used, standardization of definitions, symbols, and operating characteristics. circa: 1920 “Right Hand Rule”

  11. Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society Chapter Chair: Larry Hause Diagnostic Visions Purpose: IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBS) is the world's largest international society of Biomedical Engineers with 8,200 members residing in some 70 countries. They design the electrical circuits that make a pacemaker run...create the software that reads an MRI...and help develop the wireless technologies that allow patients and doctors to communicate over long distances.

  12. Computer Society Chapter Chair: John Safar Safar Machinery Purpose: With nearly 85,000 members, the IEEE Computer Society is the world’s leading organization of computing professionals.
