The Orange County IEEE Consultants' Network

About the Orange County IEEE Consultants' Network . . .

The Orange County IEEE Consultants' Network (OCCN) was founded in May 1993 on the principle that networking, the sharing of ideas, experiences, referrals, resources, and extra workload, is good for business. Initially a spin off (or "local area network") of the IEEE Los Angeles Area Network, the OCCN has since become one of the largest of the 30 IEEE consultants' networks across the country.

Membership in the network is open to engineering and technical consultants in all engineering fields regardless of their IEEE affiliation to attract a broad basis of experience and technical knowledge.

Both networks were originally sponsored by the IEEE's Professional Activities Committee for Engineers (PACE) . Since then, each of these networks have come under the umbrella of the newly formed Alliance of IEEE Consultants Networks (AICN), which is part of the Member Services Council of the IEEE's United States Activity Board (IEEE-USA).

The IEEE (Institute of Electrical and electronic Engineers) is the world's largest technical professional society with over 320,000 members. The men and women of the IEEE are the technical and scientific professionals making the revolutionary engineering advances which are reshaping our world today.

For industry, our network provides referrals to technical specialists in almost any engineering field, to help industry solve routine as well as difficult and specialized problems.

For our members, we provide networking and the sharing of resources, as well as professional training to improve our skills and business. And, we provide an opportunity for teaming to solve problems that may be outside of our area of expertise or to take on larger problems.
