Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers

Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) is a professional association for electronic engineering and electrical engineering (and associated disciplines) with its corporate office in New York City and its operations center in Piscataway, New Jersey.

History

The IEEE was formed in 1963 by the merger of the Institute of Radio Engineers (IRE, founded 1912) and the American Institute of Electrical Engineers (AIEE, founded 1884).

Organization and Membership

The IEEE's constitution defines the purposes of the organization as "scientific and educational, directed toward the advancement of the theory and practice of Electrical, Electronics, Communications and Computer Engineering, as well as Computer Science, the allied branches of engineering and the related arts and sciences." In pursuing these goals, the IEEE serves as a major publisher of scientific journals and organizer of conferences, provides professional and continuing education, and sets standards.

Publications

The IEEE produces over 30% of the world's literature in the electrical and electronics engineering and computer science fields, publishing well over 100 peer-reviewed journals.

Standards

The IEEE develops and participates in educational activities such as accreditation of electrical engineering programs in institutes of higher learning. The IEEE also sponsors or co-sponsors international technical conferences each year.

Education

The IEEE provides learning opportunities within the engineering sciences, research, and technology.
