IEEE and NDSU Jalyn Kelley IEEE Client Services Manager 30 September 2015 The IEEE Then… 2 10/13/2015 1884: The American Institute of Electrical Engineers is founded A small group of individuals met in New York and founded the AIEE to advance the new field and represent the US at the 1884 International Electrical Exhibition in Philadelphia. Thomas Edison, one of the founders of the Norvin Green, AIEE President of Western Union Program of the 1884 Telegraph and first International Electrical president of the AIEE Exhibition, Franklin Institute, Philadelphia 1912: The Institute of Radio Engineers is founded Radio, a new electrical technology, arose in the first decade of the twentieth century. With the new industry came a new society, IRE, modeled on the AIEE, but devoted to radio, and later increasingly to electronics. 1901 Guglielmo Marconi and 1922 George Kemp with Triode vacuum tube equipment used in inventor Lee de Forest transatlantic wireless with a radio telegraphy 1912 Radio telegraph operators’ communications with the sinking Titanic demonstrated the power of radio 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 Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers was born with 150,000 members. The badge of the new IEEE 1962 combined the right hand rule Symposium on the proposed from the IRE with the kite from merger, IRE National Convention the AIEE Special merger issue of the Proceedings of the IRE The IEEE Today A not-for-profit association – IEEE = Institute for Electrical & Electronic Engineers World’s largest technical society with over 430,000 members in 160 countries Four core areas of focus – Membership association – Publishing company – Conference organizer – Standards developer 6 10/13/2015 Who are IEEE members? 7 10/13/2015 IEEE Societies 39 societies represent a wide range of technical interests Aerospace and Electronic Systems Intelligent Transportation Systems Society Antennas and Propagation Society Magnetics Society Broadcast Technology Society Microwave Theory and Techniques Society Circuits and Systems Society Nuclear and Plasma Sciences Society Communications Society Oceanic Engineering Society Components, Packaging, and Photonics Society Manufacturing Technology Society Power Electronics Society Computational Intelligence Society Power and Energy Society Computer Society Product Safety Engineering Society Consumer Electronics Society Professional Communications Society Control Systems Society Reliability Society Dielectrics and Electrical Insulation Robotics and Automation Society Education Society Signal Processing Society Electron Devices Society Society on Social Implications of Electromagnetic Compatibility Society Technology Engineering in Medicine and Biology Solid-State Circuits Society Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society Systems, Man, and Cybernetics Society Industrial Electronics Society Ultrasonics, Ferroelectrics, and Frequency Industry Applications Society Control Society Information Theory Society Vehicular Technology Society Instrumentation and Measurement IEEE: An International Community R7 – 16,000+ R10 R1 to 6 – 210,000+ 70,000+ R8 – 65,000+ R9 – 15,000+ Reflecting the global nature of IEEE, R8 and R10 are now the two largest IEEE Regions IEEE Red River Valley Section http://www.ewh.ieee.org/r4/rrv/ The IEEE Today A not-for-profit association – IEEE = Institute for Electrical & Electronic Engineers World’s largest technical society with over 430,000 members in 160 countries Four core areas of focus – Membership association – Publishing company – Conference organizer – Standards developer 11 10/13/2015 More than 40 Magazines Practice-oriented for immediate solutions Aerospace and Electronic Systems Antennas and Propagation Communications Computer Graphics and Applications Consumer Electronics Design and Test Geoscience and Remote Sensing IT Professional IEEE magazines include MultiMedia practice-oriented content, Nanotechnology regular columns, and general news.
