| In addition to the nine evaluated by the
Solid-State Circuits Society who were profiled in April's newsletter, here are 23 more
members of SSCS who are now Fellows. The IEEE conferred the distinction of Fellow on 249
of its class of 2001. An IEEE Fellow is a member of unusual distinction in the profession. It is a recognition conferred only by invitation of the Board of Directors on a person of extraordinary qualifications and experience in the IEEE fields of interest, who has made important individual contributions to one or more of these fields. No more than one tenth of one percent of the total Institute membership may be advanced to Fellow grade in any given year. A nominee must be a Senior Member of the Institute and have been a member in any grade for at least five years prior to the year of election. A nomination for Fellow and references must be submitted by mid-March each year. Begin planning for 2002 by applying for election to Senior grade at www.ieee.org/membership/upgrade.html. |
