Within a decade, electric power had spread to every corner of the globe, with many new applications. The AIEE became 1906 1882 Using an electric iron dominated by power engineers.

Microelectronics other things)microprocessors, or As integrated circuits evolved into (among computers on a chip, the costs dropped dramatically to the point where a student in the early 1970s could own an electronic calculator, and the student of the early 1980s an entire computer. Gordon Moore predicted in 1965 that the number of transistors that could be placed on a single chip would double every two years. Moore’s law has held true for over forty years. The Apple II Intel’s first microprocessor, computer, introduced the 4004 introduced in 1971, in 1978, brought contained 2300 transistors on computing power a single chip to desktops.

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 was born with 150,000 members, 140,000 of whom were in the United States. 1962 Symposium on the proposed The badge of the new IEEE merger, IRE National Convention combined the right hand rule from the IRE with the kite from the AIEE Special merger issue of the Proceedings of the IRE 17 17/07/09 17
