An electrical engineer in industry

“The day finally comes when you receive your coveted ‘sheepskin.’ You now become in your own eyes and in those of your potential employer, a full fledged electrical engineer. But wait, how do you plan to establish and maintain eminence in your chosen field? By getting a position? By working diligently at it? Of course, but don´t stop there. Affiliate yourself with a technical society, one with the dignity and respect of the experienced engineer. Such an affiliation enables you to keep abreast of the technical times. The AIEE is such an organization. It is a service to you. Journal and Transaction publications are the daily newspapers of your field. Its planned local and national conferences provide a common meeting ground for the dissemination and exchange of ideas between you and your equals. Active participation in its activities widens your circle of acquaintances and furnishes valuable contacts. In a word, it´s your club and fraternity for the many years of your professional life.”
