2. What is IEEE
A non-profit organization, IEEE is the world's leading
professional association for the advancement of
technology.
The IEEE name was originally an acronym for the
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc.
Today, the organization's scope of interest has
expanded into so many related fields, that it is simply
referred to by the letters I-E-E-E (pronounced Eye-
triple-E). For more information, visit: IEEE.org
