I guess they aren't. People in the UK gave up bothering with the IEE decades ago. It seems Americans are now doing the same with the IEEE.

Here in Australia it's Engineers Australia that practically no electronics engineer is a member of.

Well there are not that many practising Electronics Engineers in Australia any more.

I remember years ago there were job ads for EE's would state the applicants must be a full member of IE Aust, IREE or IEEE. Then it went to must qualify for full membership or IE Aust, IREE or IEEE. Now it is never mentioned. They still state the degree one must have however.

Like comptometrists, is membership a thing of the past? (It is unlikely young players will even know what a comptometrist is without Googling it.) Now, only 16 out of over 500 million users of LinkedIn have comptometrist as a past title. But according to Engineers Australia LinkedIn website, they have over 100,000 members and 99663 followers. I would be interesting to find out how many practising electronics engineers are members.

I was asked to join as a senior member about 16 years ago, but I could not see any benefit in it considering the cost. All this money saved here and there can be put to better use such as test equipment.

IEEE is not a regulating or licensing body, it is totally optional. Here practicing professional engineers Must be members of Professional Engineers Ontario which is the licensing body, but nobody forces you to be an IEEE member.

Even an EE must be the member?

You don't need that for electronics. Just don't call yourself "Professional Engineer". MS told them to go to hell when they tried to force them to change their naming, and that is the position I take.

I am, but in the same position as you. Only member. I've also been thinking about "upping" my membership.

You could try and contact your local chapter for references.
