Founding officers of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers in 1884:American Institute of Electrical EngineersAlexander Graham Bell*

Founding member of the Institute of Radio Engineers in 1912:The Institute of Radio Engineers*

AIEE + IRE = IEEEThe 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.*

Engineer of 2020 Initiative

*National Academy of Engineering, 2004, The engineer of 2020: visions of engineering in the new centuryTo remain competitive in a financially uncertain and rapidly changing global economy, engineering companies and businesses need a workforce that is not only technically competent, but that is also broadly knowledgeable, adaptable, and nimble. Emphasize key skills such as leadership, innovation, entrepreneurship, and managing change.
