  3. Membership

  4. 5 8-Sep-14

  5. Dec. 2008 Total Members: 382,000 Students: 85,000

  6. Why Members Join IEEE ? Access to technical information Stay up-to-date in technical field Career opportunities Local/Regional activities (18%)

  7. Publications

  8. IEEE is Publishing More Quality Content Than EverNumber of articles has more than doubled since 1999 171,400 Articles Total 32,250 journals 139,000 conferences Growth 2008 vs. 2003 Journal articles +85% Conference articles +99% Source: Articles published by IEEE by year of publication

  9. Conferences

  10. IEEE Conferences • In 2008 IEEE… • Sponsored over 900 conferences • ~560 financially sponsored (52% in R7-10) • ~350 technically cosponsored (84% in R7-10) • In 62 countries • Touched approximately 400K attendees • >100K presentations • Generated over $100 million in revenue

  11. Continuing Education and Certification

  12. Continuing Education IEEE Expert Now More than 65 one-hour interactive online courses in IEEE’s technical areas of interest Subscriptions available for Corporate, University, Government and Individual Members Earn Continuing Education Units (CEUs) and Professional Development Hours (PDHs) IEEE Education Partners Program Online courses offered from university and corporate institutions at a discount

  13. IEEE Computer Society Certified Software Development Professional Program (CSDP) Certification for software developers with at least 5 years experience Under development – an entry level certification for recent graduates to assess their expertise vs. the body of knowledge IEEE Communications Society is developing the Wireless Communications Engineering Technology Certification Program IEEE is currently evaluating other certification opportunities in the areas of systems and biometrics Certification

  14. Building the Pipeline of Professionals IEEE Pre-University Programs connect engineers and educators 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 • Over 325 IEEE volunteers were trained in 2007, representing 16 countries • 42 lesson plans aligned with education standards are available • Overall, more than 1800 teachers have participated in a TISP session led by an IEEE volunteer - impacting over 180,000 students.

  15. TryEngineering.org Explore Engineering Opportunities Find a University Lesson Plans A Web site for Engineering and Engineering Education for Counselors, Teachers, Parents and Students A joint project of IEEE, IBM and the New York Hall of Science. Ask an Expert Ask an Engineer Ask an Undergrad Student Play Games

  16. 23 countries now available in the “Find a University” tool at TryEngineering.org Global search tool Launched in June 2006 Database now includes Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, India, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Pakistan, Portugal, Russia, Singapore, South Africa, Switzerland, Turkey, the United Kingdom and the US.  Expanded search feature allows users to find accredited programs based on locale, tuition, and size of the student body of the academic institution. • Plans to add more countries in 2008 • Available in German, French, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, Spanish and English versions.

  17. Accreditation.org A new IEEE portal devoted to accreditation of academic programs in engineering, computing and technology Provides an overview of accreditation Lists accrediting bodies worldwide Lists all the programs they accredit Provides links and contact information Provides accrediting body search by country IEEE EAB Responsible for carrying out accreditation process for U.S engineering, engineering technology programs Also participates in international accreditation activities

  18. Accreditation.org Provides information on accords and mutual-recognition agreements Including original text and interpretation Allows search of accredited programs Similar to “University Search” on TryEngineering.org Provides links to articles and reviews on accreditation

  19. IEEE.org Web site Access to Information • “What do you want to do?” links for easy accessto popular content • 10 portals organize major content areas • 24/7 access to IEEE products, services and information • Ongoing usability testing to inform content and design updates

  20. Internet broadcasting network producing and delivering special-interest programming about technology and engineering A member benefit Increasing public awareness about technology & engineering Balance of technical disciplines, and member vs. public access Access to Information - IEEE.tv Launch

  21. 382,400+ websites – unique to each Member Connects individual members to their Section; Section & peer-to-peer networking Integrated & personalized benefit access Updated daily from IEEE’s core databases Putting the Member 1st, regardless of IEEE organization structure or benefit platform Providing an interface to IEEE membership which is contemporary with younger generations Encouraging usage of benefits via desktops and tools… benefits usage = retention myIEEE - Increasing and Personalizing the Member’s Connection with IEEE

  22. Online Communities Over 162 in operation with more than 27,000 users Communities/Forums include IEEE EMC-PSTC, PES Surge Protective Devices, Embedded System, PCIC, Product Safety, Ethernet Passive Optical Networks Employment & Career Strategies IEEE governance--SPC;Section/Chapter volunteers

  23. IEEE Sections Sections provide a community of colleagues Members build a network through local Section, Chapter, Student Branch activities Develop new skills by taking an active role Gain management, teamwork and leadership experience Gain recognition for accomplishments and recognize the achievements of others

  24. IEEE Recognitions Institute level awards and medals Society awards Prize Paper awards Service recognitions Regional and local awards Student competitions Student Paper awards IEEE Computer Society International Design Competition Local events (robotics competitions, etc)

  25. Benefits for Students Student dues are discounted Students receive full IEEE benefits and more- Student Concourse www.ieee.org/students Potentials Magazine Reduced Dues program first year after graduation Graduates of the Last Decade (GOLD) program for recent graduates in the first 10 years of their careers.

  31. Mega Goal Membership Growth Strategy Aligned with New MGAB Direction (FOCUS On MEMBERS) Our membership numbers have been increasing at a moderate rate.

  32. New Directions Enhance Professional Development Activities to respond to Industry needs. Cooperation with IEEE/EAB with Schools Programs. Expanded Distinguished Speaker Tour Program that appeal to industry (Three tours a year corresponding to geographical).

  33. New Directions The “Canadian Review" focuses on technical articles of interest to Canadians. A new direction is to publish non-technical articles dealing with issues from a Canadian point of view. Examples: * Retirement Planning * Transition Between Jobs * Job Opportunities *Taxation Issues Senior Members Elevation Drives Central Resource Assistance for Fellow Nomination

  34. Celebrating (R-7) Achievement Documented Brochure is produced to Summarize IEEE Canada's Achievements Record over the past twenty five years. In Preparation for this year’s 125th Anniversary of IEEE, an ad-hoc Committee on the History of IEEE Canada got the Lead to Document the past 100 Years of IEEE Canada’s history on the Website.

  35. Recognizing (R-7)Volunteers SC`08 Theme “ Celebrating the Volunteers Achievements World wide.” We Reward and Recognize Volunteers and their Excellence. Best Section (Large and Small.) Three Areas Service Awards and a Major Service Award (The Wally Read Service Award.)
