IEEE continues its work to include more young professionals in the organization\u2019s leadership, as well as fostering greater geographic diversity.\u00a0Over the past 40+ years, IEEE has been an integral part of my pursuit of excellence in professional life. Keeping that in mind, we have developed a\u00a06 Point vision\u00a0where we pledge to build and develop networking, career and partnership opportunities, along with many other integral initiatives such as service to humanity through Smart Engineering, Integrity in Action \u2013 Intangibles and so on to serve the IEEE members. One of them is,\u00a0Service to Humanity and\u202fSmart Engineering. Here is a detailed version of one of my visions on how I plan to take initiatives around the\u00a0mentioned part:\u00a0<\/p>

The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), being the largest technical professional society in the world is well-positioned to participate in many areas of technical discourse globally. In fact, IEEE\u2019s motto is \u2018Advancing Technology for Humanity\u2019. Due to its presence in over 150 countries and being engaged with a broad spectrum of members from students to high levels of technical professionals in industry, academia and government, IEEE can help to serve a large segment of the global society.<\/p>

As a past President of the IEEE Power & Energy Society I have encouraged closer\u00a0and purposeful\u00a0ties with\u00a0Industry,\u00a0engaged with\u00a0sustainable development\u00a0thought leaders to\u00a0address global\u00a0challenges, and worked with policymakers to help with\u00a0Smart Engineering.\u00a0While the overall number of IEEE members have grown over the years, the percentage of industry membership number has been declining. The primary reason being \u2013 many industry members do not find the IEEE membership relevant to their work. One area where industry engineers have always shown interest is \u2013 upskilling and self-improvement so that they can maintain their currency in their jobs. I have helped to establish the IEEE PES University to address this need. This university can be expanded to serve all fields of interest in the broader IEEE. This institute is a technical resource for sustainable development thought leaders who need to know both the tools for dealing with global problems like climate change, and social implications of using such tools. IEEE can work on developing such tools in collaboration with thought leaders throughout the world. In many countries of the world \u2013 both developed and developing – Smart Engineering is looked upon as an all-inclusive tool for policymakers to meet the needs for water, energy, food, transportation, communication, housing, education and health care. The IEEE members\u2019 work at the grassroots level can help with developing, deploying and managing the building blocks of Smart Engineering.<\/p>
