Yes, it is possible to become an IEEE Fellow without becoming a doctoral supervisor at a university. To be nominated for the IEEE Fellow title, the individual must meet specific requirements:
1. Accomplishments: They should have made significant contributions to the advancement or application of engineering, science, and technology, bringing valuable benefits to society.
2. IEEE Membership: The nominee must be an IEEE Senior member or IEEE Life Senior member at the time of nomination.
3. Impact: Their contributions should have had a notable impact in their field, paving the way for future contributors.
The nomination process involves submitting materials confidentially to the IEEE Fellow Committee, consisting of 51 members plus a chair. The committee represents the 10 IEEE Regions and possesses expertise in the technical areas represented by IEEE Societies/Technical Councils. The final slate of nominees is then presented to the IEEE Board of Directors for approval.
