IEEE activities
The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) is a 501(c)(3) professional organization (non-profit organization) for electronic engineering and electrical engineering and related fields. IEEE motivates the whole world through highly cited publications, conferences, high standards of technology, and professional and educational activities. It has always aimed at establishing an educative and standardized electrical and electronic industry. The IEEE organization gets involved in different activities in different disciplines, including communities, conferences and events, publications, standards, education, humanitarian, and awards.

What are IEEE Activities?
The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) is a 501(c)(3) professional organization (non-profit organization) for electronic engineering and electrical engineering (and related fields), with headquarters in New York City and an operations center in Piscataway, New Jersey. The American Institute of Electrical Engineers and the Institute of Radio Engineers merged to become it in 1963. IEEE motivates the whole world through highly cited publications, conferences, high standards of technology, and professional and educational activities. IEE is well recognized for the development of measures such as IEEE 802.11.
IEEE Background
The IEEE traces its founding to 1884 and the American Institute of Electrical Engineers. In 1912, the rival Institute of Radio Engineers was formed. Although the AIEE was initially larger, the IRE attracted more students and was larger by the mid-1950s. The AIEE and IRE merged in 1963. The IEEE headquarters are located at 3 Park Avenue in New York City; however, most activity is conducted in the IEEE Operations Center in Piscataway, NJ, which was first occupied in 1975.
IEEE Activities
The IEEE organization gets involved in different activities in different disciplines, including communities, conferences and events, publications, standards, education, humanitarian, and awards.
Community Activities
IEEE, the most prominent organization for technical professionals, gets involved with technical and local communities in different ways. These include research, conferences, and crucial discussions about important technical topics locally and worldwide. IEEE helps communities by offering excellent networking opportunities and professional growth communities.
Conferences and Events
IEEE offers global sponsorship of over 1,900 conferences and events every year. This is achieved by organizing the most advanced content of IEEE technical fields of interest
Publications
IEEE helps in the global publication of almost a third of technical literature in electrical engineering, computer science, and electronics, including about 200 transactions, magazines, and journals published annually. In collaboration with John Wiley and Sons, IEEE also publishes technical books, monographs, guides, guides, and textbooks. IEEE can continuously produce the best-cited journals in specialized fields such as electrical and electronics engineering and telecommunications. It is also important to note that there are more than 5 million IEEE documents, such as journals, magazines, letters, and conference proceedings, among others, in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library.
Standards
Today, IEEE continues to be the best producer of global standards in telecommunications, information technology, and products and services in power generation. The well-known IEEE 802 standards for local, metropolitan, and other networks, such as Ethernet and Wireless LAN(Wi-Fi), are among the emerging technologies that the IEEE Standards Association has documented for almost 1,076 standards and over 984 projects which are being developed.
Educational Activities
In a significant way, IEEE has helped its members achieve their requirements in education and developing products and services through awarding their continuing education units and development hours. The organization ensures effective development and delivery of continuing education materials and ensures that the rewards of continuing education units are adhered to. IEEE also provides professional development hours and certificates of completion. In addition, the IEEE collaborates with industry, universities, and government to help improve students' literacy in science, math, engineering, and technology, at the pre-college level.
Humanitarian Activities
IEEE Foundation is a charitable partner promoting worldwide social impact through its members and donors. It helps in connecting over 200 IEEE initiatives through financing, charity, and expertise. IEEE programs also increase technology access, improve technical knowledge, and support technical education. The IEEE Foundation also ensures better management of IEEE donations and grants meant to improve human conditions and ensures that the next generation of engineers and scientists are well motivated and empowered. It also helps preserve technology history and acknowledge creativity and innovations.
Awarding Activities
IEEE recognizes the best technology improvements, society, and engineering profession accomplishments by awarding those achievements every year. IEEE Medals, the best awards presented by IEEE on behalf of the IEEE Board of Directors, shows the importance of IEEE's interests and motives. The IEEE Medal, being the highest, is used to acknowledge people who have contributed extraordinarily in the IEEE fields of interest.
