Today, it is a global network of more than 486,000 engineering and STEM professionals across a variety of disciplines whose core purpose is to foster technological innovation for the benefit of humanity.[6]

Key Information

The IEEE has a corporate office in New York City and an operations center in Piscataway, New Jersey. The IEEE was formed in 1963 as an amalgamation of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers and the Institute of Radio Engineers.[7]

History

[edit]

The IEEE traces its founding to 1884 and the American Institute of Electrical Engineers. In 1912, the rival Institute of Radio Engineers was formed.[8] Although the AIEE was initially larger, the IRE attracted more students and was larger by the mid-1950s. The AIEE and IRE merged in 1963.[9]

The IEEE is headquartered in New York City, but most business is done at the IEEE Operations Center[10] in Piscataway, New Jersey, opened in 1975.[11]

The Australian Section of the IEEE existed between 1972 and 1985, after which it split into state- and territory-based sections.[12]

Publications

[edit]
Main article: List of IEEE publications

IEEE claims to produce over 30% of the world's literature in the electrical, electronics, and computer engineering fields, publishing approximately 200 peer-reviewed journals[13] and magazines. IEEE publishes more than 1,700 conference proceedings every year.[14]

The published content in these journals as well as the content from several hundred annual conferences sponsored by the IEEE are available in the IEEE Electronic Library (IEL)[15] available through IEEE Xplore[16] platform, for subscription-based access and individual publication purchases.[17]

In addition to journals and conference proceedings, the IEEE also publishes tutorials and standards that are produced by its standardization committees. The organization also has its own IEEE paper format.[18]

A region alignment is proposed to happen with effect from January 1, 2028, merging Region 1 and 2 together as just Region 2, while carving out a separate Region 11 from the existing Region 10.[27]

Other bodies

[edit]

IEEE Global History Network

[edit]

In September 2008, the IEEE History Committee founded the IEEE Global History Network,[28][29][30] which now redirects to Engineering and Technology History Wiki.[31][28]

IEEE Foundation

[edit]

The IEEE Foundation is a charitable foundation established in 1973[32] to support and promote technology education, innovation, and excellence.[33] It is incorporated separately from the IEEE, although it has a close relationship to it. Members of the Board of Directors of the foundation are required to be active members of IEEE, and one third of them must be current or former members of the IEEE Board of Directors.

Initially, the role of the IEEE Foundation was to accept and administer donations for the IEEE Awards program, but donations increased beyond what was necessary for this purpose, and the scope was broadened. In addition to soliciting and administering unrestricted funds, the foundation also administers donor-designated funds supporting particular educational, humanitarian, historical preservation, and peer recognition programs of the IEEE.[33] As of the end of 2014, the foundation's total assets were nearly $45 million, split equally between unrestricted and donor-designated funds.[34]

Membership Geographic Activities

[edit]

IEEE's Membership Geographic Activities (MGA) is focused on supporting and meeting the members' needs and IEEE membership recruitment and retention strategies and implementation.[35] MGA supports members by creating opportunities for volunteers to attend conferences, create technical, STEM, and humanitarian events through platforms like vTools.

Controversies

[edit]

Huawei ban

[edit]

In May 2019, IEEE restricted Huawei employees from peer reviewing papers or handling papers as editors due to the "severe legal implications" of U.S. government sanctions against Huawei.[36] As members of its standard-setting body, Huawei employees could continue to exercise their voting rights, attend standards development meetings, submit proposals and comment in public discussions on new standards.[37][38] The ban sparked outrage among Chinese scientists on social media. Some professors in China decided to cancel their memberships.[39][40]

On June 3, 2019, IEEE lifted restrictions on Huawei's editorial and peer review activities after receiving clearance from the United States government.[41][42][43]

Position on the Russian invasion of Ukraine

[edit]

On February 26, 2022, the chair of the IEEE Ukraine Section, Ievgen Pichkalov, publicly appealed to the IEEE members to "freeze [IEEE] activities and membership in Russia" and requested "public reaction and strict disapproval of Russia's aggression" from the IEEE and IEEE Region 8.[44] On March 17, 2022, an article in the form of a Q&A interview with IEEE Russia (Siberia) senior member Roman Gorbunov titled "A Russian Perspective on the War in Ukraine" was published in IEEE Spectrum to demonstrate "the plurality of views among IEEE members" and the "views that are at odds with international reporting on the war in Ukraine".[45] On March 30, 2022, activist Anna Rohrbach created an open letter to the IEEE in an attempt to have them directly address the article, stating that the article used "common narratives in Russian propaganda" on the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine and requesting the IEEE Spectrum to acknowledge "that they have unwittingly published a piece furthering misinformation and Russian propaganda".[46] A few days later a note from the editors was added on April 6[47] with an apology "for not providing adequate context at the time of publication", though the editors did not revise the original article.[48]

The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) is a professional association headquartered at 3 Park Avenue in New York City, dedicated to fostering technological innovation and excellence for the benefit of humanity. Formed on January 1, 1963, through the merger of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers (AIEE, established in 1884) and the Institute of Radio Engineers (IRE, established in 1912), IEEE serves as the preeminent global organization for professionals in electrical engineering, electronics, computing, and related fields. With more than 486,000 members across over 190 countries, it operates as the world's largest technical professional society, facilitating knowledge dissemination via over 200 journals, more than 1,900 conferences annually, and the development of standards that underpin modern technologies such as Ethernet (IEEE 802.3) and Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11). IEEE's activities also encompass accreditation of engineering programs, continuing education, and policy advocacy, though it has encountered challenges including systemic issues with peer-review fraud and plagiarism in conference proceedings, prompting enhanced integrity measures and large-scale retractions.

History

Origins in Predecessor Organizations

The (AIEE) was founded on May 13, 1884, in by 25 engineers, inventors, and academics, including figures like Thomas Edison's associate Norvin Green and professor Francis Upton, amid the growing electrification of industry following the International Electrical Exhibition of 1884. The organization aimed to promote the advancement of through meetings, publications such as Transactions of the AIEE, and standards development, initially focusing on power generation, transmission, and wired , with early membership drawn from utility managers, telegraphic experts, and manufacturers rather than solely academics. By the early , the AIEE had expanded to address broader electrical applications, establishing sections beyond New York and adopting a code of ethics in 1912, though it maintained a traditionalist emphasis on heavy . In parallel, the Institute of Radio Engineers (IRE) emerged on May 13, 1912, from the merger of the Society of Wireless Telegraph Engineers (established 1907 in ) and the Wireless Institute (formed 1908 in New York), driven by rapid innovations in vacuum tubes, radio detection, and transatlantic signaling that outpaced the AIEE's scope. With an initial focus on radio technology, the IRE prioritized professional standards for wireless communication, publishing Proceedings of the IRE from its inception and fostering specialized professional groups in , which attracted younger engineers and reflected the shift toward high-frequency and emerging electronic devices. Unlike the AIEE's power-oriented roots, the IRE emphasized theoretical and experimental work in radio engineering, growing to over 40,000 members by the through sections worldwide and student branches starting in 1947.

Founding Merger and Early Development

The merger of the (AIEE) and the Institute of Radio Engineers (IRE) culminated in the formation of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), effective January 1, 1963, following approval by both organizations' boards in March 1962 and confirmatory membership votes—AIEE on June 18, 1962, and IRE on July 10, 1962. This consolidation addressed overlapping professional interests intensified by the post-World War II electronics expansion, where IRE's membership had surged from 6,000 in 1940 to 21,000 by 1950 due to advancements in , , and communications, outpacing AIEE's growth in . The resulting IEEE began with 150,000 members, of whom 140,000 were in the United States, adopting IRE's decentralized professional group model over AIEE's centralized structure to better accommodate diverse technical fields. Prior collaboration in the , including joint meetings, membership policies, and student branches, facilitated the process, as did a 1959 joint committee on relations that evolved into an eight-member group in 1961 recommending consolidation principles targeting the 1963 effective date. The merger legally preserved AIEE as the surviving entity but integrated IRE's international sections and flexible operations, aiming to unify U.S.-centric under a single entity amid competitive fragmentation. In its early years, IEEE focused on operational integration, consolidating staff at the United Engineering Center in New York and establishing the Technical Activities Board in 1963 to oversee technical committees from predecessor groups. The inaugural IEEE International Convention convened in March 1963 in New York, signaling unified activities, while IEEE Spectrum launched in January 1964 as a broad-access magazine replacing separate AIEE and IRE publications to foster cross-disciplinary engagement. IRE's professional groups transitioned into IEEE technical societies, with standards development refined through a 1963 policy empowering these groups to propose norms under committee oversight, laying groundwork for expanded influence in electronics and power sectors. By 1969–1970, initial headquarters relocation planning to Piscataway, New Jersey, addressed escalating New York costs, alongside the debut of the IEEE Standard Dictionary of Electrical and Electronics Terms, marking maturation amid membership-driven growth.

Post-1963 Expansion and Centennial Milestones

Following the 1963 merger, IEEE experienced significant membership expansion, growing from approximately 150,000 members at inception to 250,000 by , with international membership rising from about 8% to 20% of the total. This growth reflected the broadening scope of electrical and electronics engineering amid postwar technological advancements in , communications, and semiconductors, attracting professionals globally. Early international efforts included hosting the 1969 IEEE International Convention, which drew over 60,000 attendees from more than 40 countries, underscoring IEEE's emerging transnational footprint. Organizational adaptations supported this expansion, including the 1971 establishment of the U.S. Activities Board to address professional needs such as employment services and policy advocacy, approved by over 80% of members via . In 1973, the IEEE Foundation was created to fund educational and scientific initiatives, enhancing IEEE's role beyond technical societies. Publication milestones bolstered outreach, with the debut of IEEE Spectrum in 1964 as a flagship magazine and IEEE Potentials in 1982 targeted at students to foster future membership. Governance evolved with the 1980 constitutional change introducing a president-elect position, effective in 1982 elections, to streamline leadership transitions. The 1984 centennial, commemorating 100 years since the ' founding in 1884, marked a pivotal with worldwide events including ceremonies at major conventions, a transnational sections , and the first IEEE in attended by over 250 specialists. Preparations began in 1979 with the IEEE History Center's establishment to preserve institutional records and narratives. The IEEE in program launched in 1983 to honor century-defining achievements, while the IEEE was awarded to recognize extraordinary contributions. U.S. President issued a commendation praising IEEE members' innovations in a centennial , highlighting the organization's impact on . These efforts produced historical volumes documenting IEEE's first century and reinforced its global stature.

Organizational Structure

Governance and Leadership

The IEEE Board of Directors serves as the primary governing body of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), responsible for setting strategic direction, overseeing operations, and ensuring adherence to the organization's constitution and bylaws. Composed of up to 28 members, the Board includes elected officers such as the President, President-Elect, Past President, Treasurer, and Secretary; 10 Regional Directors representing IEEE's global regions; 6 Division Directors overseeing technical activities; and additional Directors-at-Large elected to provide diverse expertise. The Board meets periodically to approve budgets, policies, and major initiatives, operating under principles of transparency, accountability, and member-driven decision-making as outlined in IEEE's governing documents. Leadership at the helm is provided by the IEEE President, who also holds the title of and chairs the . The President is selected through an annual process where IEEE voting members—comprising Members, Senior Members, and Fellows—choose the President-Elect, who serves a one-year term before ascending to President for another year, followed by a year as Past President. Nominations for President-Elect are developed by the IEEE Nominating Committee, with opportunities for member petitions to add candidates, ensuring broad participation; the Board approves the final . As of 2025, Kathleen A. Kramer holds the position of President, having been elected as 2024 President-Elect. Operational leadership is supported by the , who heads the professional staff and chairs the Management Council, a group of senior executives managing day-to-day IEEE operations including publications, standards, and member services. The oversees financial matters, while handles records and procedural compliance. IEEE's , rooted in its 1963 and regularly updated bylaws, emphasizes responsibility and conflict-of-interest policies to maintain integrity across its volunteer-led structure. Regional and Division Directors ensure representation of geographic and technical interests, with elections staggered to promote continuity.

Technical Societies and Working Groups

The IEEE comprises 39 technical societies, each centered on advancing research, education, and professional practice within specialized domains of electrical, electronics, and engineering. These societies organize technical conferences, publish peer-reviewed journals and magazines, develop educational resources, and foster collaboration among over 400,000 members worldwide. Membership in a society provides access to discipline-specific content, such as the IEEE Communications Society's focus on and networking protocols or the IEEE Power & Energy Society's emphasis on generation and distribution systems. The societies are grouped into 10 technical divisions, spanning broad fields from and human environment to computers and , enabling coordinated efforts across related disciplines. Complementing the societies are 8 technical councils, which unite multiple societies to address interdisciplinary challenges, such as , sensors, or ; for instance, the Sensors Council coordinates activities among societies involved in sensor technologies for applications in healthcare and . These structures promote knowledge dissemination through over 2,000 annual conferences and more than 200 publications, with societies collectively contributing to IEEE's repository of over 6 million technical documents. Within societies and councils, technical committees and working groups drive focused initiatives, including emerging technology roadmaps and collaborative projects. Society-level working groups, such as those under the IEEE Society, convene experts to define agendas or prototype standards in areas like applications. Broader working groups, often aligned with the , operate openly to develop consensus-based standards; participants, drawn from industry, academia, and government, must demonstrate material interest and adhere to , resulting in influential documents like those governing communications protocols. As of 2025, thousands of such groups actively contribute to IEEE's standards portfolio, ensuring global in technologies from power systems to cybersecurity.

Standards Association Operations

The IEEE Standards Association (IEEE-SA) operates as the centralized entity within the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers responsible for coordinating the development, approval, and maintenance of consensus-based standards in electrical, electronics, and related technologies. It functions through a structured governance framework overseen by the IEEE-SA Board of Governors (BOG), which establishes operational policies, provides financial oversight, and ensures accountability to the IEEE Board of Directors and external stakeholders. The BOG maintains the IEEE-SA Operations Manual, last approved in May 2025, which outlines procedures for standards activities, emphasizing openness, balance, and in all operations. Operational activities are executed via specialized committees and boards, including the Standards Association Standards Board (SASB), comprising 18 to 26 voting members who review and approve standards projects for publication after verifying compliance with IEEE policies. The Corporate Advisory Group (CAG), established under direction, handles entity-level engagements by fostering industry partnerships, managing corporate memberships, and recommending strategies for market-relevant standardization efforts. IEEE-SA supports two primary participation models: individual participation open to qualified experts via working groups, and entity participation through corporate programs that enable organizational input and funding contributions. These models facilitate voluntary consensus, with working groups—formed under sponsor committees—conducting technical deliberations, drafting documents, and iterating based on balloting feedback from qualified voters. Key operational processes include initiating projects via Project Authorization Requests (PARs) submitted to the New Standards Committee (NesCom) for scope validation, followed by development phases involving calls for participation and mandatory coordination. Standards undergo rigorous review by the SASB's Review Committee (RevCom) to confirm technical accuracy, procedural adherence, and broad consensus before final BOG ratification and publication. Financial operations rely on from standards sales, corporate sponsorships, and IEEE member dues, with the BOG ensuring fiscal transparency and alignment with global standardization needs, such as in emerging fields like communications and power systems. External relations are managed through designated representatives who liaise with bodies like ISO and IEC, promoting IEEE standards adoption while safeguarding via patent policies requiring disclosure and reasonable licensing terms. IEEE-SA operations prioritize inclusivity and transparency, mandating anti-trust compliance, participant conduct codes, and public access to drafts during development to mitigate biases and ensure diverse stakeholder representation. As of 2025, it oversees over 1,300 active standards projects, with working groups meeting virtually or in-person to resolve technical issues through evidence-based debate rather than majority vote alone. This framework has enabled IEEE-SA to influence technologies underpinning global infrastructure, though operational efficiency depends on volunteer expertise and entity funding, occasionally leading to delays in fast-evolving domains.

Publications

Core Journals and Periodicals

The Proceedings of the IEEE serves as the institute's premier archival journal, offering in-depth reviews, surveys, and tutorials on advancements in , , and related fields. Originating as the Proceedings of the Institute of Radio Engineers in 1913, it transitioned to its current title following the 1963 merger forming IEEE and has maintained a monthly publication schedule focused on synthesizing broad technical trends rather than narrow research contributions. With an emphasis on long-term perspective articles that contextualize , it distinguishes itself from society-specific transactions by prioritizing interdisciplinary synthesis and historical continuity in electrical and discourse. IEEE Spectrum, IEEE's flagship magazine, provides accessible coverage of major developments in , , and , targeting both members and the broader public since its inaugural issue in January 1964. Established shortly after IEEE's formation to bridge technical depth with readability, it features articles on innovation trends, policy implications, and practical applications, often including investigative reporting on engineering challenges. Unlike peer-reviewed journals, Spectrum emphasizes narrative-driven content, such as profiles of breakthroughs and ethical considerations in fields like and systems, while maintaining editorial independence from society-specific agendas. IEEE's core technical journals extend through its society-sponsored Transactions series, which form the backbone of specialized peer-reviewed literature across over 100 titles, such as IEEE Transactions on Industrial Electronics and IEEE Transactions on Power Systems. These periodicals, many predating the 1963 merger via predecessor organizations, publish original research papers vetted for rigor and novelty, contributing to the institute's dominance in citation metrics within electrical and electronics engineering. For instance, IEEE Access, a multidisciplinary open-access journal launched in 2013, exemplifies modern core offerings by aggregating high-impact submissions across engineering domains, achieving top rankings in Eigenfactor scores for electrical engineering. Collectively, these publications underpin IEEE's role in disseminating verifiable empirical advancements, with annual outputs exceeding 200,000 documents hosted on IEEE Xplore.

Publishing Processes and Standards

IEEE's publishing processes for journals and emphasize rigorous , adherence to ethical standards, and standardized formatting to ensure quality and consistency across its publications. Authors submit manuscripts through online platforms such as ScholarOne Manuscripts, selecting appropriate IEEE periodicals or conferences based on scope and impact factors. Manuscripts must conform to IEEE templates, which specify double-column format, 10-point font, and structured sections including abstracts, keywords, and references in IEEE style. Upon submission, an initial editorial screening checks for completeness, originality, and fit, followed by assignment to at least two independent expert reviewers who evaluate technical merit, novelty, and clarity under single- or double-blind conditions depending on the publication. Decisions—accept, revise, or reject—are made by editors based on reviewer feedback, with revisions often required to address specific concerns. Post-acceptance, authors complete the IEEE Electronic Copyright Form (eCF), selecting from options like traditional copyright transfer or open-access licenses, which enable broader dissemination while retaining IEEE's archiving rights. Production involves professional copyediting, , and to align with the IEEE Editorial Style Manual, which dictates rules for , abbreviations, equations, and citations to maintain uniformity. Published works are archived in Digital Library, with digital object identifiers (DOIs) assigned for persistent access. For , peer review occurs prior to presentation, with accepted papers compiled into proceedings under similar formatting guidelines, though review rigor varies by event. IEEE enforces strict ethical standards to uphold integrity, prohibiting , duplicate submission, and through tools like for similarity checks. Authorship requires substantial contributions from all listed individuals, with corresponding authors responsible for accuracy and conflicts of interest disclosure. Post-publication, policies allow for errata, corrections, or retractions if errors or misconduct are identified, processed via editorial boards to preserve the scholarly record. These processes, applied to over 200 periodicals and thousands of annual conference papers, prioritize empirical validation and technical accuracy, with open-access options like IEEE Access expediting review to 4-6 weeks while maintaining equivalent standards.

Standards Development

Process and Methodology

The (IEEE SA) develops standards through a structured, consensus-driven process governed by the IEEE SA Standards Board Operations Manual, emphasizing principles of openness, balance of interests, broad consensus, , transparency, and the right to appeal, which aligns with (ANSI) accreditation requirements. This methodology ensures no single entity dominates participation, with interest categories (e.g., producers, users, general interest) limited to no more than one-third of voters in balloting. The process begins with initiation, where a standards proposes a and submits a Project Authorization Request (PAR) to the New Standards Committee (NesCom) for review; upon NesCom recommendation, the IEEE SA Standards Board (SASB) approves the PAR, authorizing formation of a (WG). WGs, comprising volunteers from industry, academia, and other stakeholders, operate openly to all interested parties and develop drafts via iterative meetings, using tools like myProject for and iMeetCentral or WebEx for virtual sessions. Drafting involves creating an outline, conducting mandatory editorial coordination (MEC) for consistency, and securing copyright permissions for referenced materials, with language distinguishing mandatory requirements ("shall") from recommendations ("should"). Following internal WG consensus, the draft advances to balloting: an IEEE SA ballot requires a minimum 75% response rate and 75% approval from qualified voters, with a 30- to 60-day pool period; substantive changes trigger a 10-day recirculation ballot. A mandatory 60-day public review solicits external feedback, after which the Standards Review Committee (RevCom) verifies procedural compliance, and the SASB grants final approval for publication. Standards remain active for up to 10 years, after which revision, reaffirmation, or withdrawal is required based on market needs and feedback, supported by IEEE SA staff for administrative integrity. Appeals can be filed at WG, sponsor, or SASB levels per bylaws.

Key Standards and Their Impacts

The IEEE has developed numerous standards that underpin modern computing and communications, with the IEEE 802 family proving particularly transformative in networking. Among these, IEEE 802.3, first published in 1983, standardized Ethernet, enabling reliable wired local area networks (LANs) that evolved from 10 Mbps to over 400 Gbps speeds, forming the backbone of data centers, enterprise networks, and infrastructure worldwide.

These recognitions preserve heritage by linking specific causal innovations to their verifiable outcomes, countering potential distortions from less rigorous historical narratives in academic or media sources.

Controversies and Criticisms

Geopolitical Positions and Sanctions

In May 2019, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) issued internal guidance restricting employees of Technologies or individuals "interacting with" or funded by the company from serving as peer reviewers or editors for IEEE publications, citing compliance with U.S. export administration regulations amid sanctions imposed on by the U.S. Department of Commerce. This measure aimed to prevent potential unauthorized technology transfers but sparked immediate backlash, including protests from Chinese academics and threats of boycotts against IEEE journals and conferences, with critics arguing it politicized scientific collaboration. On June 2, 2019, IEEE reversed the restriction following clarification from the U.S. Department of Commerce that participation in and editorial processes did not constitute prohibited exports under the relevant regulations, allowing Huawei-affiliated scientists to resume such roles. The incident underscored IEEE's obligation as a U.S.-headquartered nonprofit to adhere to federal sanctions while balancing its global membership, which includes significant participation from ; it did not reflect an independent geopolitical stance but rather reactive compliance with host-country laws. Precedents for such compliance date back to at least 2003, when the U.S. Treasury's (OFAC) ruled that IEEE could continue providing , style, and copy editing services for manuscripts from sanctioned entities, such as Iranian authors, as these activities fell outside prohibited transactions. IEEE has not publicly endorsed or opposed specific U.S. sanctions regimes, maintaining a focus on technical neutrality in standards development despite broader U.S.- tensions affecting fields like and semiconductors. Its subsidiary IEEE-USA advocates on domestic policy issues like trade competitiveness but avoids direct engagement with foreign sanctions.

Huawei Ban and Supply Chain Restrictions

In May 2019, following the U.S. Department of Commerce's addition of Technologies to its on May 16, which imposed export restrictions citing risks, the IEEE issued internal guidance to journal editors barring Huawei-affiliated individuals from serving as peer reviewers or handling papers in editorial capacities. The directive aimed to ensure compliance with U.S. , which prohibit certain interactions with restricted entities without licenses, potentially exposing IEEE to legal penalties given its U.S.-based operations. The restriction drew immediate backlash from the global research community, including resignations from IEEE editorial boards by some members protesting the politicization of scientific . In China, the China Computer Federation announced on May 31, 2019, a suspension of cooperation with IEEE, citing the move as discriminatory and harmful to international academic exchange. Critics argued that excluding Huawei researchers, who contribute significantly to fields like and , undermined the impartiality of standards development and knowledge dissemination, while supporters viewed it as a necessary safeguard against potential risks under U.S. law. On June 3, 2019, IEEE reversed the policy after receiving clarification from the U.S. Department of Commerce that Huawei employees could participate in editorial and activities under the entity's temporary general license, which exempted certain ongoing collaborations. This allowed Huawei scientists to resume roles on IEEE editorial boards, though with caveats that they could not handle papers involving restricted technologies until full sanctions relief. Broader U.S. sanctions on , including supply chain curbs under Section 889 of the effective August 2019, indirectly affected IEEE-related activities by limiting access to U.S.-origin components in Huawei's equipment, which adheres to IEEE standards like 802.11 for integration. However, to mitigate risks of Huawei dominating standards bodies through exclusion, the U.S. Department of Commerce issued a rule on June 15, 2020, permitting U.S. firms to collaborate with Huawei on standards development, including IEEE processes, without violating export controls, provided no proprietary technology was transferred. Huawei maintained active participation in IEEE working groups for and beyond, contributing thousands of patents essential to standards ratification, amid ongoing debates over enforcement and geopolitical influence in technical bodies.

Operational and Internal Critiques

IEEE has encountered operational challenges in maintaining membership growth, particularly among industry professionals. As of 2024, the organization's industry membership has steadily declined, attributed to evolving demands in the workforce, reduced employer sponsorship of professional dues, and IEEE's perceived shortcomings in delivering tailored value to corporate engineers. Independent analysis in similarly linked this trend to shifts in structures and IEEE's limited adaptability to industry-specific needs, exacerbating disconnection between the and practicing professionals. These developments have prompted internal reflections on models and benefits, with higher-grade U.S. membership losses tied to misalignments between dues—such as $175 annual fees—and practical utility for career advancement or technical resources. Internal critiques have also targeted IEEE's diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, with some members arguing they prioritize superficial demographic attributes over merit and evidence of actual . In response to a presidential endorsement of DEI as central to IEEE's mission, commenters including long-term members highlighted a lack of documented within the organization, decrying the push as politically motivated and conducive to enforced rather than genuine inclusion. Critics such as Henry Roif, with over 40 years of IEEE involvement across multiple countries, reported no observed , viewing DEI efforts as media-influenced overreach that risks limiting free expression. Despite leadership's commitment to programs like revisions and dedicated funding, these dissenting voices underscore tensions in balancing operational focus on technical advancement with broader social agendas. Publication operations have drawn scrutiny for lapses in integrity, exemplified by a 2018 investigation uncovering systematic violations that led to the retraction of 29 articles and the permanent exclusion of three volunteer editors from IEEE membership. This incident revealed vulnerabilities in volunteer-driven oversight, prompting enhanced protocols but highlighting broader risks in scaling a vast portfolio of journals reliant on unpaid contributors amid rising submission volumes. Additionally, the society's model for accessing has faced operational for hindering , with costs of production cited as justification yet contributing to perceptions of inaccessibility for non-institutional users.
