IEEE’s Mission
To foster technological innovation and excellence for the benefit of humanity

3. 1884: The American Institute of Electrical Engineers is founded
A small group of individuals met in New York and founded the AIEE to advance the new field and represent the US at the 1884 International Electrical Exhibition in Philadelphia.

Norvin Green, President of Western Union Telegraph and first president of the AIEE
Thomas Edison, one of the founders of the AIEE

4. 1912: The Institute of Radio Engineers is founded
Radio, a new electrical technology, arose in the first decade of the twentieth century. With the new industry came a new society, IRE, modeled on the AIEE, but devoted to radio, and later increasingly to electronics.
1912
Radio telegraph operators’ communications with the sinking Titanic demonstrated the power of radio
1901 Guglielmo Marconi and George Kemp with equipment used in transatlantic wireless telegraphy
1922 Triode vacuum tube inventor Lee de Forest with a radio

5. 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.
1962 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
