How to Join IEEE

Benefits of IEEE Membership

General

• If you are already an IEEE member, you can add the SMC Society when you renew your IEEE membership. If you are not an IEEE member, you can find the details you need, including a copy of the application form on the web.
• If you are already a member, but missed adding SMC during the most recent renewal, please send mail to member.services. [insert your IEEE region number 1-10]@ieee.org for help.

• What's bundled in the Membership fee?
• The SMC Society membership fee includes electronic access to the IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics, Part A: Systems and Humans, Part B: Cybernetics, and Part C: Applications and Reviews.
• Members also receive reduced rates at the annual conference and conferences sponsored by the SMC Society

• Who can become a Senior Member?
  • Anyone with 10 years in the profession (not 10 years of IEEE membership.) Your educational experience is counted towards this 10-year requirement as follows:
    • 3 years for a bachelors degree
    • 4 years for a masters degree
    • 5 years for a doctorate degree
    To become a Senior Member, you must have 5 years of significant performance.
  • Nominations for IEEE Senior member may be submitted online using the IEEE Senior Membership Application Form. Nominations are evaluated eight to ten times per year by the IEEE.

IEEE Fellow

• The IEEE Grade of Fellow is conferred annually by the Board of Directors upon a person with an extraordinary record of accomplishments in any of the IEEE fields of interest. Specific information on the program including application deadlines is available on the IEEE Fellow web site.
