Two prominent societies in the fields of Electrical and Electronic Engineering are:
http://www.theiet.org/media/aboutus/The Institution of Engineering and Technology was formed by the Institution of Electrical Engineers (IEE) and the Institution of Incorporated Engineers (IIE) and now has more than 150,000 members worldwide. It is the largest professional engineering society in Europe and the second largest of its type in the world.
It has offices in London, Beijing and Hong Kong, with an office in Bangalore opening in late 2006.
http://www.ieee.org/portal/siteThe IEEE, a non-profit organization, is the world's leading professional association for the advancement of technology.
The full name of the IEEE is the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc., although the organization is referred to by the letters I-E-E-E and pronounced Eye-triple-E.
Through its global membership, the IEEE is a leading authority on areas ranging from aerospace systems, computers and telecommunications to biomedical engineering, electric power and consumer electronics among others.
Members rely on the IEEE as a source of technical and professional information, resources and services.
To foster an interest in the engineering profession, the IEEE also serves student members in colleges and universities around the world.
I would also emphasize
IEEE Code of Ethics
