Page "Electrical engineering" Paragraph 23

Professional bodies of note for electrical engineers include the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers ( IEEE ) and the Institution of Engineering and Technology ( IET ).

The IEEE claims to produce 30 % of the world's literature in electrical engineering, has over 360, 000 members worldwide and holds over 3, 000 conferences annually.

The IET publishes 21 journals, has a worldwide membership of over 150, 000, and claims to be the largest professional engineering society in Europe.

Obsolescence of technical skills is a serious concern for electrical engineers.

Membership and participation in technical societies, regular reviews of periodicals in the field and a habit of continued learning are therefore essential to maintaining proficiency.

MIET ( Member of the Institution of Engineering and Technology ) is recognised in Europe as Electrical and computer ( technology ) engineer
