IEEE stands for the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. It is the world’s largest technical professional organization for advancing technology.
It traces back to 1884, when Thomas Edison and Alexander Graham Bell founded the American Institute of Electrical Engineers. The Institute of Radio Engineers followed in 1912, and the two merged in 1963 to create the modern IEEE, which now has over 400,000 members across more than 160 countries.
Through five main areas: developing technical standards such as Wi-Fi and Ethernet, publishing research and journals, offering educational programmes and certifications, supporting global humanitarian initiatives, and providing policy advocacy on technology-related issues.
IEEE UOB gives clear instructions on how to register for each competition and challenge. Registration usually means reviewing the eligibility criteria, completing the forms, forming a team where one is needed, and preparing to take part.
IEEE offers several levels, each with its own benefits: Student, Graduate Student, Associate, Member, Senior Member and Fellow.
