• Practitioners, Consultants and Entrepreneurs• Other Contributions within the IEEE designated
fields
Significant Performance Indicator ExamplesTeaching• Faculty developing courses within the IEEE designated fields that are
innovative and unique• Undergraduate teachers demonstrating excellence and dedication that
might exceptional student accomplishments or include coaching in Lego League or Robotics. ( teachers who are engineers and computer scientists)
• Performing research with some measure of success (e.g. refereed papers)• Publishing in high level recognized journals• Publication of technical papers, books or inventions/patents• Department Chair title• Supervising successful PhD students
Significant Performance Indicator Examples
Research• Performing research with some measure of
success (e.g. refereed papers)• Responsible for invention(s)/patent(s)
advancing technologies• Significant contributions related to standards
development (e.g., chair, project editor)
Significant Performance Indicator Examples
Industry (Practitioners, Consultants and Entrepreneurs)• Patents issued• Technical direction or leadership of important technical
work with evidence of accomplishment• Team leader, supervisor, program manager, project
manager or director titles• Substantial design, development or project
responsibility, or achievement• Significant contributions related to standards
development (e.g., chair, project editor)
Significant Performance Indicator Examples
Other Contributions within the IEEE designated fields• Professional awards, licenses may be considered as
substantiation of professional experience and performance• Recognized contributions to the welfare of technical

• “2003-2010 – Five peer reviewed journal articles, three peer-reviewed conference papers and three conference papers published.”
• “Published a book chapter”
Examples for Discussion:
An applicant/nominee has no degree and has worked for many years in the electric industry as a technician. Ten years ago, he accepted an engineering level position and continued with it since that time. Included was a period of at least five years with demonstrated significant performance.
