IEEE Canada Quick Facts
Result of 1994 merger between Region 7 and Canadian Society of Electrical & Computer Engineers – IEEE is the Canadian arm (as R7) of IEEE
IEEE Canada is the constituent society of the Engineering Institute of Canada (EIC) for the technical fields of electrical, electronics, and computer engineering
We tend to pull above our weight class (awards, Fellows, financial & volunteer resources, milestones)
Region 7 is currently the second smallest IEEE region with 16,242 members at the close of July 2014 representing under 5% of IEEE membership
The Region has 15 IEEE Milestones (10% of the total IEEE Milestones)
8
Sections and Organizing Units
Operates 20 sections (local organizations) arranged in 3 areas (Western, Central, and Eastern Canada), as well as over 50 student branches and 27 active committees (e.g. TISP, WIE, Young Pros, LM) – some sections have been around 100+ years!
