About the IEC

A nonprofit organization, the IEC is dedicated to catalyzing technology and business progress worldwide in a range of high-technology industries and their university communities. Since 1944, the IEC has provided high-quality educational opportunities—industry professionals, academics, and students.

In conjunction with industry—leading companies, the IEC has developed an extensive, free, on-line educational program. The IEC conducts industry—university programs that have a substantial impact on curricula. It also conducts research and develops publications, conferences, and technological exhibits that address major opportunities and challenges of the information age.

More than 70 leading universities are IEC affiliates, and the IEC handles the affairs of the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department Heads Association and Eta Kappa Nu, the honor society for electrical and computer engineers. Please visit www.iec.org.

About ECEDHA

The Electrical and Computer Engineering Department Heads Association (ECEDHA) is composed of heads or chairs of departments offering accredited programs in electrical and/or computer engineering. The purposes of ECEDHA are threefold: (1) help advance the field; (2) help members exchange ideas; (3) improve communication with the profession, industry, government and others.

ECEDHA membership is open to the official leaders (whether called head, chair or some other title) of U.S. university departments offering ABET-accredited electrical and/or computer engineering (or similarly named) programs. Of about 300 departments offering such programs, almost 90 percent are currently represented in ECEDHA. Visit www.ecedha.org.
