Keep getting stuff from them. I don't have the money for it, nor the
time to run around to all the conventions, given that I never landed in
a job that *actually* involves computers, so... lol

Congratulations! That's a very big 'feather in the cap.'

As a former member, I have to ask:

Not at all. It's easy to become a member. You don't really need to show
any proper qualifications.

Are you at a university? Undergrad? Grad?

Maybe it's different for the IEEE then? For the IMechE to become a member
you must have finished an accredited engineering course at an accredited
university (I have to send signed degree certificates with my application),
and then you must have had enough experience in industry to demonstrate your
Engineering skills in several areas (most people usually have enough after
about 5 years of working on relevant projects). If they don't feel you've
had enough experience (you have to send them a 2500 word report) then they
won't even ask you in for an interview.

It seems what the IEEE call "member" and "senior member" map to "associate
member" and "member" respectively in IMechE terms. How confusing!

That sounds more like a licensing organization. In the US, they have
that - but it doesn't fall under the IEEE - and each state does its own
licensing. And very few electrical engineering jobs require a license.

If you think nobody cares, try missing a couple of payments.

We have licensing too, but it's usually for technician-type jobs like wiring
houses and installing gas appliances, this has nothing to do with
Engineering or designing things though. For that we have Chartered
Engineer, which is awarded by becoming a "full member" of an institution
like the IEEE, IMechE etc. Some safety-critical jobs (like designing
bridges or buildings) absolutely require it (maybe there is even some legal
issues, IDK), other less safety-critical industries just look on it as a
demonstration that you are serious about your Engineering career. I have
yet to see any senior person in the Engineering department of a large
company that isn't a chartered engineer.
