WHO WE ARE
A non-profit organization, IEEE is the world's leading professional association for the advancement of technology. The IEEE name was originally an acronym for the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc.

Today, the organization's scope of interest has expanded into so many related fields, that it is simply referred to by the letters I-E-E-E (pronounced Eye-triple-E) IEEE members worldwide some 385,808 members in 163 countries at the end of July of 2012

IEEE: A Global Community Making a Difference

The IEEE Vision:
To advance global prosperity by:

Fostering technological innovation

Promoting IEEE communities world-wide

Enabling members careers

Our History
AIEE (1884)
Founded by American industrialists to develop a skilled workforce; prepare standards for U.S. electrical industries

IRE (1912)
Founded by radio electronics pioneers Did not feel fully at home in electric poweroriented AIEE Differed from the AIEE - positioned at inception to be global

In 1963 AIEE & IRE combine to form Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers

IEEE Today
The worlds largest professional society dedicated to the advancement of technology Creating a level playing field for technical professionals regardless of geography Enabling technical professionals to distinguish themselves in a globally competitive environment Promoting the public understanding and appreciation of engineering
Engineering is an honored profession IEEE member contributions improve the quality of life and make the world a better place

IEEE is organized into:

324 local sections in 10 geographic regions; 1,784 chapters comprised of local members with similar technical interests; 38 societies and 7 technical councils; 1,616 student branches at colleges and universities in 80 countries; 452 student branch chapters.

Membership
About 384,808 members in over 150 countries over 40 percent are from outside the United States 85,000 student members 27,000+ society affiliates 300+ sections, ,400+ technical chapters 1,500+ student branches in 80 countries 450+ student branch chapters 38 societies and 6 technical councils From every work sector 50% work for private industry 20% in academia 10% in government 20% other (retired, selfemployed, unemployed, other)
