Abstract :
The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers is one of the oldest and largest professional engineering societies. Like its sister engineering organizations, it is caught up in the swirling forces of modern times. The old values seem to be falling away one by one. The respect we once took as our automatic due for belonging to a profession no longer comes to us. A hundred pressures from a hundred sides pull our minds from the performance of our duties and convert our once challenging work to a tangle of anxieties.
