The Scoop, April 2000
New higher-grade and student member applications continue to surge ahead of last year's record numbers. In just the first eight weeks of the calendar year, IEEE has received 3,816 new higher-grade member applications (2,535 of them via the Web) for a 10% increase over the first two months of 1999. Student member applications are showing a more moderate increase of 1.2% over last year. 5,726 Student applications have come in eight weeks, nearly 23% via the Web. Last year, only 14.3% of Student applications came in via the Web, so the rate of Web usage among prospective Student members is increasing dramatically. If this pace continues, IEEE could see nearly 26,000 Web applications in 2000. The web application form can be found at www.ieee.org/membership.
