Requirements for Senior Member Grade

IEEE Bylaw I-105.3 sets forth the criteria for elevation to Senior Member Grade, as follows:

… a candidate shall be an engineer, scientist, educator, technical executive or originator in IEEE-designated fields. … The candidate shall have been in professional practice for at least ten years and shall have shown significant performance over a period of at least five of those years.

In order to qualify for Senior Member status, an individual must also provide three references from IEEE members holding Senior Member, Fellow or Honorary Member grade. Your professional colleagues are your best source of these references. If you have difficulty in locating Senior Members or Fellows to serve as references, please contact your local Section or Chapter for assistance.

To clarify these criteria, the following explanations may be helpful:

IEEE-designated fields: These fields of endeavor are defined by the areas of technical interest included in the 36 technical Societies/Councils that are part of IEEE. A list of IEEE technical Societies/Councils may be found at www.ieee.org/society.

Ten years of professional experience: The A&A Committee evaluating your application will count the years you have been in professional practice. Your educational experience is credited toward that time as follows: 3 years for a baccalaureate degree in an IEEE-designated field; 4 years if you hold a baccalaureate and masters degree; and five years if you hold a doctorate.

Five years of significant performance: Many prospective applicants make the mistake of assuming that “significant performance” requires special awards, patents or other extremely sophisticated technical accomplishments; such is not the case. Substantial job responsibilities such as team leader, task supervisor, engineer in charge of a program or project, engineer or scientist performing research with some measure of success (papers), or faculty developing and teaching courses with research and publications, all are indications of significant performance.

The following are examples of significant performance that would serve to qualify an individual for elevation to Senior Member; in each case, we are assuming that three qualified references were provided:

Case 1. An applicant/nominee has a bachelor's degree and seven additional years of professional experience beyond graduation in an area encompassed by one of IEEE’s technical Societies, which meets the requirement of ten years of professional experience. Significant performance can be demonstrated by describing substantial job responsibilities (e.g., team leader,...) for a period of at least five years. Result: All criteria are satisfied and the application is approved.

Case 2. Same as Case 1, except that the applicant/nominee worked in industry for one year following graduation with the bachelor's degree and then was a full-time graduate student for two years, obtaining a masters degree. The applicant demonstrates significant performance during another five years in industry. Result: Approved.

Case 3. An applicant/nominee has bachelor, masters, and doctoral degrees in an IEEE-designated field. Five years of significant performance in academia, industry, or government beyond the doctoral degree are demonstrated (e.g., a faculty member with five years beyond the doctorate and promotion to associate professor). Result: Approved.

Case 4. An applicant/nominee has no degree and has worked for many years in the electric industry as a technician. Ten years ago, he accepted an engineering level position and continued with it since that time. Included was a period of at least five years with demonstrated significant performance. Result: Approved.

Case 5. An applicant/nominee retired some years ago and has not been active recently in the profession. Prior to retirement, the applicant/nominee had at least ten years of professional experience, including five years of significant performance. Result: Approved.
