In the spring of 1884, as the electrical power and the telephone industry began to boom, a group of experts in electrical professions agreed to form a technical organization called AIEE (American Institute of Electrical Engineers) that would support professionals in their efforts to benefit humanity through innovation and development. In 1912, with the development of Marconi’s radio, a new institution called IRE (Institute of Radio Engineers) was born. Together, in 1 January 1963, the AIEE and the IRE merged to form the present-day IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers), currently the largest technical professional organization in the world.
