IEEE is the world’s largest professional association for engineering dedicated
to advancing technological innovation and excellence for the benefit of
humanity.
It is designed to serve professionals involved in all aspects of the electrical,
electronic and computing fields and related areas of science and technology
that underlie modern civilization.
It has the most members of any technical professional organization in the
world, with more than 429,000 members in around 150 countries.
It is a non profit organization.
It 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).
