Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers

The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE, mostly as "i triple e" [ ai trɪpl i: ] spoken ) is a global professional association of engineers mainly from the fields of electrical engineering and information technology with a legal seat in New York City and operations center in Piscataway New Jersey. He is the organizer of conferences, editor of various journals and forms committees for the standardization of techniques, hardware and software. Scientific articles in journals or conferences of the IEEE is generally subject to a particularly high level of quality. With publications such as the journal IEEE Spectrum to notify the organization also committed to interdisciplinary information and the discussion of the social impact of new technologies.

General

The IEEE is in 2013 with more than 425,000 members in over 160 countries around the largest technical professional association in the world. It is divided into numerous so-called Societies, which deal with specific areas of electrical engineering and information technology and cover the entire spectrum of the subject in all its diversity. The composition of the current board is available on the national web sites. Worldwide, the member is summarized in about 300 country-based groups.

The IEEE was established on January 1, 1963 from the merger of the two American Engineering Associations American Institute of Electrical Engineers ( AIEE ) and the Institute of Radio Engineers (IRE ).

His stylized logo shows the corkscrew rule of electromagnetism within a diamond placed on the corner. This diamond symbolizes the dragon, with the Benjamin Franklin showed that lightning is a form of electrical energy. The corkscrew rule was adopted by the IRE, while the dragon ( the diamond) was brought by the AIEE.

The IEEE awards prizes and medals (IEEE Medal of Honor and a number of IEEE Technical Field Awards) to scientists who accomplish the extraordinary achievements in their field annually. These include the IEEE Alexander Graham Bell Medal, the IEEE Morris N. Liebmann Memorial Award, the IEEE Daniel E. Noble Award, the IEEE Emanuel R. Piore Award, the Eckert - Mauchly Award, the IEEE Masaru Ibuka Consumer Electronics Award, the John Tyndall Award, the IEEE Jun- ichi Nishizawa medal, the Robert N. Noyce medal, the Knuth prize, the W. Wallace McDowell Award, the Seymour Cray computer Engineering Award, the Richard W. Hamming medal, the IEEE Edison medal, the Quantum Electronics Award, the John von Neumann medal, and the IEEE Jack S. Kilby signal Processing medal.
