IEEE Fellow Activities and Industry Engagement

Under Don’s leadership, the IEEE Fellow Committee has planned a full implementation of the BoD
approved improvements, particularly specific measures for industry member engagement, particularly on standards
development. The IEEE fellow grade is a prestigious recognition by the Institute to a single individual for his or
her technical accomplishments, impacting society at large. It commands global acclaim and is a prestigious honor
eagerly pursued by individuals worldwide. How do you answer the question then: Am I qualified to be considered
for an IEEE fellow, particularly, as a member from industry? What is the best way to prepare a nomination
package? And how re your nomination going to be evaluated? This talk by Dr. Tan will provide a unique
perspective from an IEEE Fellow Committee Immediate Past Chair's viewpoint. It aims to demystify the fellow
nomination and evaluation process. He will discuss, with industry member focus, on recent fellow statistics,
nomination package preparation, contribution category selection, and qualification characteristics matrix (e.g.,
selection criteria) details. A few samples from past successful nominations will be presented and discussed as well.
