Alexander Graham Bell Founding officers of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers in 1884: Thomas A. Edison American Institute of Electrical Engineers

Guglielmo Marconi Founding member of the Institute of Radio Engineers in 1912: The Institute of Radio Engineers 1912 Radio telegraph operators’ communications with the sinking Titanic demonstrated the power of radio

AIEE + IRE = IEEE The idea that there should be one organization for all electrical engineers was an old one, and became more powerful as the profession expanded beyond its separate roots in power and radio. In 1962, the boards and memberships of the two institutes agreed to merge. On January 1, 1963, the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers was born with 150,000 members Symposium on the proposed merger, IRE National Convention Special merger issue of the Proceedings of the IRE The badge of the new IEEE combined the right hand rule from the IRE with the kite from the AIEE
