The discipline of Electronic Engineering has involved itself greatly into today’s society. Every day, people use technology that was pioneered by those who have studied the science of electronic components and applied the engineering principles of electronics towards creating devices and technology that benefit society. The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) is the largest professional organization dedicated to advancing technology for societies benefit. As students become Electronic Engineers, they will become involved with the IEEE during their careers and help in developing new and beneficial technologies. Such examples of this emerging technology include: the development of Motor Vehicle Event Data Recording systems for vehicle safety, improving standards of connectivity for wireless devices and networking, and researching possible alternative energy resources and solutions to promote energy conservation for the community.

First, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) is the largest professional organization that works towards advancing technology for the benefit of humanity. The IEEE consists of, “over 395,000 members in more than 160 countries; 45 percent of whom are from outside the United States.” (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) The IEEE’s members consist of scientists and engineers whose background is in the study of electrical, electronic, computer science, and related engineering fields. The IEEE releases publications, standards, grants, and awards towards the technological advancements developed in association with the organization. The IEEE also conducts conferences and seminars, which allow for the collective review of the new developing technol...
