Greatest Engineering Achievements of the 20th Century are based mostly on
Electro- and Information-Science & Technology
1. Electrification2. Automobile 3. Airplane4. Water Supply & Distribution5. Electronics6. Radio and Television7. Agricultural Mechanization8. Computers9. Telephone10. Air Conditioning & Refrigeration
11. Highways12. Spacecraft13. Internet14. Imaging15. Household Appliances16. Health Technologies17. Petroleum & Petrochem Technologies18. Laser and Fiber Optics19. Nuclear Technologies20. High-perform. Materials
Rate of Change Span required…..
– 55 years for the automobile to spread to a quarter of the country
– 35 years for the telephone– 22 years for the radio– 16 years for the PC– 13 years for the cell phone– 7 years for the Internet

Global Information-Economy
Jobs are mobile and work can be done anywhere, anytime
The ability to collaborate online is becoming a requirement
Challenges facing Engineers Today
The world is getting smaller The economy is global Engineering is becoming more interdisciplinary Engineering ethics is watching not only individual practice
but also group behavior Engineers have to work on-line under the disruptive
change of technology Engineers have to be environmentally conscious Engineers are treated as a commodity Engineers have to continue to promote their public image
Challenges Facing Industry Employee Retention Salary and Benefits Work Environment Management Style
Competition… Marketing Service / Support Relationships
Training / Continuing Education Innovative Technologies – Regulatory Rules driven by …
– Governments and International Standards.
IS IEEE Marketable to Industries?
What Does IEEE have to offer Industries ?42 Specialized Societies

The Value of IEEE MembershipKnowledge ...
staying current with the fast changing world of technology
Community … unparalleled networking opportunities, and the buying power into low, members-only rates on benefits and services
Profession … empowering members to build and own their careers, giving back to society
WHY - is Lifelong Learning Important?
• Rapid advancement of technology drives need for engineers to stay current
• Licensure and certification boards requiring continuing education
Career Planning
