Educational Resources

• Members can join Learning Communities - groups
  of individuals who have a shared purpose and a
  common interest
• search the course database, find a conference,
  learn about new technologies
• These Communities provide you with a forum to
  discuss vital issues in your technical area, the
  latest articles and papers, networking
  opportunities with others in your field, peer and
  expert advice to help you in your job, and so
  much more
• Because of the rapid changes/development in the
  expertise areas of IEEE members, it is essential
  that members be encouraged to attend regular
  seminars, workshops, short courses, and
  conferences. Information about these educational
  activities are often available through Web sites,
  newsletters and regular mailings
