Instructions and Links for Elevation to Senior Member

Thank you for embarking on your senior membership application. The IEEE Eastern North Carolina Section (ENCS) will be happy to nominate qualified section members and assist you through the process. We can connect you with senior or fellow member references once you have completed your resume and submitted it to our membership chair, Jim Ray .

Read all descriptions and requirements. Ask for clarification if anything is unclear.

Be sure to document at least 10 years electrical engineering experience and at least 5 years of "significant performance" in your resume. Senior member applicants are given credit for their educational years:

• 3 years for a baccalaureate degree in an IEEE-designated field
• 4 years if you hold a baccalaureate and masters degree
• 5 years if you hold a doctorate

To clarify, one cannot claim credit for working during the school years AND the school year criteria. Technical writers, managers, IT folks and many other professionals are eligible for IEEE Membership and Senior Membership.

The panel is looking for increasing levels of experience and responsibility. Be sure to clearly state timeframes on your significant and professional experience, as well as educational years.
