The CEDA Fellow Evaluation Committee performs a technical evaluation of the candidates nominated to be evaluated through CEDA. The purpose of this step is to ensure that the technical and professional achievements of a candidate are evaluated by their peers. The basic outcome of CEDA Fellow Committee evaluation is to place candidates into a single rank-order list where each candidate is given a score. These scores are supported by comments worded by the evaluators.

Please note that:

In 2024, CEDA is included in a Cohort Fellow Evaluating Committee within Division I, together with the Nanotechnology Council.
The CEDA Fellow Evaluation Committee does not make decisions for elevation to Fellow grade. Such a decision falls to the IEEE Board of Directors.
