Searching for Professional Organizations for Electrical Engineers

AI Thread Summary
For electrical engineering (EE) majors seeking professional organizations, the IEEE is highlighted as the primary group. While some members suggest the ACM for those interested in computing and software, others recommend the Society of Industrial and Applied Mathematics for those focused on mathematical modeling. Additionally, the Electronic Device Failure Analysis Society is mentioned for those with a specific interest in electronic materials, along with other materials societies that may cater to similar interests. Overall, while IEEE is the main organization, there are niche groups available depending on specific interests within the EE field.

I'm an EE major and lately I've been looking for professional organizations to get involved with. I've been a member of the IEEE for a while, but I don't see many other organizations that have interesting agendas for electrical engineers.

Am I missing any big groups? I was thinking of joining the ACM.

Thanks.

For EE's, IEEE is pretty much it.

What are your particular interests in EE.

If one is interested in mathematical modeling, then Society of Industrial and Applied Mathematics (www.siam.org) might be of interest.

ACM (http://www.acm.org/) is good if one is interested in computers and hardware/software.

If you were interested in electronic materials, then there is a Electronic Device Failure Analysis Society group. IIRC there are other materials societies with groups involved in electronic materials.
 
I’ve been looking through the curricula of several European theoretical/mathematical physics MSc programs (ETH, Oxford, Cambridge, LMU, ENS Paris, etc), and I’m struck by how little emphasis they place on advanced fundamental courses. Nearly everything seems to be research-adjacent: string theory, quantum field theory, quantum optics, cosmology, soft matter physics, black hole radiation, etc. What I don’t see are the kinds of “second-pass fundamentals” I was hoping for, things like...
TL;DR Summary: I want to do a PhD in applied math but I hate group theory, is this a big problem? Hello, I am a second-year math and physics double major with a minor in data science. I just finished group theory (today actually), and it was my least favorite class in all of university so far. It doesn't interest me, and I am also very bad at it compared to other math courses I have done. The other courses I have done are calculus I-III, ODEs, Linear Algebra, and Prob/Stats. Is it a...
