IEEE
IEEE is the world’s largest technical professional organization dedicated to advancing technology for the benefit of humanity.Below, you can find IEEE’s mission and vision statements.
There are over 409,000 IEEE members in over 160 countries, more than 60 percent of whom are from outside the United States. IEEE members are engineers, scientists, and allied professionals whose technical interests are rooted in electrical and computer sciences, engineering, and related disciplines.
The highest grade of membership, IEEE Fellow, is attained through nomination by peers and approval by the IEEE Board of Directors for distinction in the profession.
Both associations had growth and global reach, and overlapping technology interests in common led to the formation of IEEE in 1963 with a merger of the AIEE and IRE.

History
IEEE’s history begins more than 130 years ago with the Foundation of the American Institute of electrical engineers AIEE. It was founded by American businessmen with the aim of developing a skilled workforce and prepare standards for electrical industries of the United States. Alexander Graham Bell and Thomas Alva Edison were founding members.
The Institute of Radio Engineers or IRE, was formed in 1912 by the pioneers of radio electronics who did not feel fully drawn with the electric power orientation that AIEE had.
