Activity 2
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
The IEEE corporate office (1) is on the 17th floor of 3 Park Avenue in New York City
The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers or IEEE (read eye-triple-e) (2) is an international non-profit, professional organization for the advancement of technology related to electricity. It (3) has the most members of any technical professional organization in the world, with more than 365,000 members in around 150 countries.
History
The IEEE (4) is incorporated in the State of New York, United States. It was (5)formed in 1963 by the merge of the Institute of Radio Engineers (IRE, founded 1912) and the American Institute of Electrical Engineers (AIEE, founded 1884).
The major interests of the AIEE (6) were wire communications (telegraph and telephony) and light and power systems. The IRE (7) concerned mostly radio engineering, and was (8) formed from two smaller organizations, the Society of Wireless and Telegraph Engineers and the Wireless Institute. With the rise of electronics in the 1930s, electronics engineers usually (9)became members of the IRE, but the applications of electron tube technology (10)became so extensive that the technical boundaries (11)differentiating the IRE and the AIEE (12)became difficult to (13)distinguish. After World War II, the two organizations (14) became increasingly competitive, and in 1961, the leadership of both the IRE and the AIEE (15) resolved to (31) consolidate the two organizations. The two organizations formally (16) merged as the IEEE on January 1, 1963.
Notable Presidents of IEEE and its (32)founding organizations (17)include Elihu Thomson (AIEE, 1889-1890), Alexander Graham Bell (AIEE, 1891-1892), Charles Proteus Steinmetz (AIEE, 1901-1902), Lee De Forest (IRE, 1930), Frederick E. Terman (IRE, 1941), William R. Hewlett (IRE, 1954), Ernst Weber (IRE, 1959; IEEE, 1963), and Ivan Getting (IEEE, 1978).
IEEE's Constitution (18)defines the purposes of the organization as "scientific and educational, (33)directed toward the advancement of the theory and practice of electrical, electronics, communications and computer engineering, as well as computer science, the allied branches of engineering and the related arts and sciences." In (19) pursuing these goals, the IEEE (20) serves as a major publisher of scientific journals and a conference organizer. It (21)is also a leading developer of industrial standards having (22)developed over 900 active industry standards) in a broad range of disciplines, (23)including electric power and energy, biomedical technology and healthcare, information technology, information assurance, telecommunications, consumer electronics, transportation, aerospace, and nanotechnology. IEEE (24) develops and participates in educational activities such as accreditation of electrical engineering programs in institutes of higher learning. The IEEE logo (25) is a diamond-shaped design which (26) illustrates the right hand grip rule. It also (27) sponsors or cosponsors more than 450 international technical conferences each year.
IEEE (28) has a dual complementary regional and technical structure - with organizational units based on geography (e.g., the IEEE Philadelphia Section) and technical focus (e.g., the IEEE Computer Society). It (29) manages a separate organizational unit (IEEE-USA) which (30) recommends policies and implements programs specifically intended to benefit the members, the profession and the public in the United States.
