About IEEE

Founded in 1963...

IEEE’s roots reach back to the 19th century. Scientists and engineers had harnessed electrical power; connected the world via transatlantic telegraph; and built ringing telephones and lights with switches. Electricity was gaining global influence. In the spring of 1884, a group of industry professionals met in New York, USA. They agreed on a goal: They would use their knowledge and influence to benefit humanity.

IEEE—pronounced ‘eye-triple-E’—is the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. It formed in 1963, when the American Institute of Electrical Engineers (AIEE) merged with the Institute of Radio Engineers (IRE). IEEE’s members are engineers and technologists from around the world.
