Resources for
Members
By Abby Robinson
Each month,
Today’s Engineer highlights five
different programs, products and services from
IEEE-USA and elsewhere around the IEEE,
designed to help the members with their careers
and professional development. Whether you're a
student trying to select a focus, if you're just
starting your career, or if you're getting close
to retirement, IEEE has a wealth of resources to
help you at every stage of your professional
life.
1.
IEEE Student Job Site
IEEE has partnered with
AfterCollege to launch the IEEE Student Job
Site, which allows students to
find entry-level jobs and connect with other
college students, alumni and employers through
faculty and career networks at colleges and
universities across the country.
2.
IEEE Center for Leadership
Excellence
The IEEE Center for Leadership
Excellence (CLE) serves as the repository for
all leadership training material within IEEE to
ensure IEEE keeps pace with its evolving
organization. Additionally, it will meet the
needs of IEEE volunteer leadership by providing
materials that will enable volunteers to
accomplish their jobs efficiently and
effectively; thus allowing them to spend more
time ensuring that members are engaged in IEEE
activities so that IEEE member satisfaction and
relevance continue to grow.
3.
IEEE Global History Network
 The Global History Network is
dedicated to preserving and promoting the
history of innovation in the fields of
electrical engineering and its allied fields.
4.
IEEE Life Sciences Portal
 It is the goal of the IEEE Life
Sciences Portal to become a premier resource and
community for knowledge, opportunity, and
collaboration, enabling cross-disciplinary
solutions in life sciences.
Traditionally, the term life
sciences has referred to several branches of
science, such as biology, medicine,
anthropology, or ecology, that describe living
organisms and their organization, life
processes, and their relationships to each other
and their environment. In contrast, engineering
has usually meant the application of scientific
and mathematical principles to practical ends
such as the design, manufacture, and operation
of efficient and economical structures,
machines, processes, and systems.
5.
Engineering for Change
 Engineering for Change is an
online platform that provides engineers,
technologists, non-governmental organizations
(NGOs) and local community advocates the tools
to collaboratively address humanitarian and
global development challenges. Members of the
Engineering for Change community — working
together — will design, apply and share
knowledge to develop technical solutions for
humanitarian and global development challenges
in local communities throughout the world.
