IEEE Systems, Man, and Cybernetics Society

[2] The earliest incarnation of the IEEE Systems, Man, and Cybernetics Society was the IRE Professional Group on Human Factors in Electronics, formed in 1958.

[4] The Field of Interest (FoI) of the SMCS includes:[5] Interaction among technically diverse professional colleagues is stimulating and invites new thinking that single disciplines, and employment alone, do not provide.

This positions SMCS to effectively engage the emerging nature of the non-deterministic complex challenges that are typical of rapidly evolving post-industrial society.

[16] While technical committees are global in nature, IEEE SMCS also host many geographical units in the form of chapters[17] which serve as local branches of the SMC Society.

IEEE SMCS has a Distinguished Lecturer program that allows Society Chapters (its geographical units) to learn about the latest technological developments and applications.

The WIE–SMCS committee organizes a series of periodic events and activities to promote the visibility of women leaders and to inspire young girls who want to get involved in engineering.
