IEEE Origins

American Institute of Electrical Engineers (AIEE) founded in 1884

Institute of Radio Engineers (IRE) founded in 1912

AIEE and IRE merged in 1963

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 IEEE, or Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers was born with 150,000 members, 140,000 of whom were in the United States.
