IES Launches University Membership Category
The Illuminating Engineering Society (IES) recently announced it has launched a university membership category intended to inspire the next generation of lighting professionals and support educators.
The new membership option provides multiple benefits and offerings to education institutes that have dedicated lighting programs. It offers students, academics, researchers, and instructors with full access to lighting knowledge, publications, educational materials, and more, with the goal of enhancing users’ learning and teaching experiences.
By facilitating an early exposure to IES membership offerings, students can engage in professional forums and leverage industry resources that ultimately help advance their careers and support their professional growth.
The list of benefits highlights the new Lighting LibraryTM offering (coming soon), which provides access for students and faculty to all updated and expanded IES Standards, including the overall replacement of the 2010 IES Lighting Handbook – providing an arsenal of updated industry and market knowledge. It will be available on-demand and is completely searchable, providing customization tools such as annotations, tagged bookmarks, and red-lined version comparison to further educational goals. In addition, all students enrolled in the lighting program will receive a complimentary student membership with the IES.
The application can be found on the IES website. For additional information about the membership, read the original release.
