IEEE Professional Communication Society

The IEEE Professional Communication Society is a professional society of the IEEE. Its primary goals include helping engineers and technical writers to pursue further education and research in their fields, in addition to development of standards in technical communication.[1] The society sponsors international conferences, including the annual IEEE IPCC International Professional Communication Conference.[2][3][4]

The IEEE Professional Communication Society has published a peer-reviewed journal known as the IEEE Transactions on Professional Communication since 1957.[5][4][6]

History

Formed in March 1957 as the IRE Professional Group on Engineering Writing, the group changed its name to the IRE Professional Group on Engineering Writing and Speech (April 1957), IEEE Professional Technical Group on Engineering Writing and Speech (1963), IEEE Group on Engineering Writing and Speech (1964), IEEE Group on Professional Communication (1971) and the IEEE Professional Communication Society (1978).[7]

Field of interest

The society states in its constitution that its Field of Interest includes "the study, development, improvement, and promotion of effective techniques for preparing, organizing, processing, editing, collecting, conserving, teaching, and disseminating any form of technical information by and to individuals and groups by any method of communication. It also includes technical, scientific, industrial, and other activities that contribute to the techniques and products used in this field."[8]
