Administrative history

The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) was created out of a merger of the Institute of Electrical Engineers and the Institute of Radio Engineers in 1963. The American Institution of Electrical Engineers was formed in New York on May 13, 1884. Its Canadian section was authorized on Sept. 30, 1903. This institute was established to support the advancement of knowledge about the electrical industry and as such drew both technical men and entrepreneurs into its membership.
The Institute of Radio Engineers was founded in 1912. It was established for the advancement of radio and electronics, including allied branches of engineering and related arts and sciences, their application to human needs, and the maintenance of a high professional standing among its members. By the time these organizations merged there were some one hundred and twenty-two separate technical bodies, many with overlapping responsibilities,as well as professional groups and the like, between the two organizations.
