IEEE membership is hardly exclusive. I was a mechanical engineering major once upon a time, and they try to hit me up for membership every year. I could then buy any IEEE article I wanted to. I'm pretty much "just anybody" as far as the engineering community is concerned.

IEEE does more than just EE. Software engineering and aerospace engineering are also subjects they publish about. And they need members. Otherwise there won't be enough funding for them to continue existing I guess.
