The Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) is the world’s largest professional technical organization. IEEE stems from two other professional organizations: the American Institute of Electrical Engineers (AIEE) and the Institute of Radio Engineers (IRE). Both societies gained traction and notable membership in the early 20th century. On January 1, 1963, they decided to merge into one large organization, forming IEEE. Today, IEEE has over 419,000 members from approximately 160 countries and hosts nearly 1,900 conferences internationally. There is also significant student participation comprised of over 124,000 student members and 3,422 student branches located worldwide.
