IEEE Fellow recognizes IEEE members whose extraordinary accomplishments in any of the IEEE fields of interest are deemed fitting of this prestigious grade elevation. The total number of new IEEE Fellows selected in any one year does not exceed one-tenth of one percent of the total voting Institute membership.
The IEEE Vehicular Technology Society welcomes nominations
for IEEE Fellow in three technical areas; portable and mobile communications,
automotive electronics, and land transportation.
To be eligible to IEEE Fellow, a nominee must be an IEEE
Senior Member or IEEE Life Senior Member, and been a member in good standing in
any grade for a period of five years or more preceding 1 January of the year of
elevation. IEEE Society affiliation membership does not apply. IEEE Fellow
nominees are classified into the following four categories: Application
Engineer/Practitioner, Educator, Research Engineer/Scientist, and Technical
Leader.
The nominator can be any person, including non-IEEE members,
and does not have to be an IEEE Fellow. The nominator has the responsibility
to:
- Prepare the IEEE Fellow Grade Nomination Form
- Solicit at least five, but no more than eight, IEEE Fellow references
capable of assessing the nominee’s contributions
- Solicit no more than three endorsements capable of
supporting the nomination. Any person, including non-IEEE members, may submit
an endorsement
- Identify an IEEE Society/Technical Council whose evaluating
committee will assess the nominee’s technical qualifications and contributions
IEEE Fellow nominations are evaluated first by the IEEE
Society/Technical Council and second by the Judges on the IEEE Fellow
Committee. The IEEE Fellow Committee recommends nominees to the IEEE Board of
Directors, according to the following criteria:
- Technical accomplishments
- Society Evaluation
- References
- External and IEEE Service Activities
- Total years in the profession
The next deadline for submitting IEEE Fellow nominations is 1
March 2018, which is a hard deadline.
