2. Our Heritage AIEE (1884) – American Institute of Electrical Engineers

Our Heritage
AIEE (1884) – American Institute of Electrical Engineers
IRE (1912) – Institute of Radio Engineers
IEEE (1963) Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers from merger of AIEE & IRE 
The history of IEEE dates back more than 125 years to the founding of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers or AIEE.
It was founded by American industrialists to develop a skilled workforce and prepare standards for U.S. electrical industries. Bell and Edison were founding members.
The IRE or Institute of Radio Engineers was formed in 1912 by radio electronics pioneers who did not feel fully at home in an electric power-oriented AIEE. The IRE differed from the AIEE also in that it was positioned at inception to be global.
Overlapping membership and technology interests led to the formation of IEEE in 1963 with a merger of the AIEE and IRE.

3. Our Mission. . .
“Foster Technological Innovation And Excellence For The Benefit Of Humanity”  
This is the new mission statement for the IEEE.
A few years ago, the IEEE Board of Directors and staff developed a new strategic plan for the organization. This included a new approach to developing strategies that support the plan’s implementation.
The strategic plan emphasizes long-term goals that will add value to the technical community and to the technical professions, rather than focusing on internal operations.
IEEE organizational units are implementing the strategy and are engaging in a range activities designed to clarify vision, values, and goals. These activities also ensure that the volunteer leadership’s time is spent on issues that matter most to IEEE.

4. IEEE’s Purpose
Scientific and educational, directed toward the advancement of the theory and practice of electrical engineering, electronics, radio and the allied branches of engineering and the related arts and sciences;
Professional, directed toward the advancement of the standing of the members of the professions it serves;

China office completes 2 years of operations from Beijing
Singapore office relocates and expands
With the largest single-country membership in IEEE, India has been the focus of increased interest by IEEE and officially opened an office in Bangalore in 2010.
For several years, IEEE has been expanding its relationships in China and looking for ways to better serve members there. The Beijing office was established in 2008.
IEEE also relocated its Singapore office in order to expand IEEE support for members and customers in the Pacific Rim region..
Brazil also is being evaluated as the possible location for another IEEE office.
IEEE continues to look across the globe for growth opportunities.
