But we can imagine the enthusiasm\, the excitement\, and the eagerness of Americans i n the nineteenth century for electricity. By the late eighteen-hundreds us es for electricity were rapidly expanding. Many in the field of electrical engineering could see the need for an organization to act as a clearing h ouse both for the encouragement of research and for the coordination of ap plications. It was on May 13\, 1884\, in New York City\, that The American Institute of Electrical Engineers (AIEE)\, the forerunner of IEEE\, was e stablished. The AIEE’s first technical meeting was held at the Franklin Institute\, during the International Electrical Exhibition of 1884 (Octobe r 7th - 8th). AIEE had a major role in defining the burgeoning electrical industry. Its primary interests were light and power systems\, wire commun ications\, and electrical standards. As membership grew\, it established v arious committees to accommodate the challenge of increasing specializatio n.\nIn 1920 electrical engineers from the City of Providence\, Brown Unive rsity\, Narragansett Electric\, as well as other local institutions petiti oned the AIEE for a charter to establish Providence Section.
