Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)

The full English name of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) is the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, which was formerly known as the American Institute of Electrical Engineers (AIEE) founded in 1884 and the Institute of Radio Engineers (IRE) founded in 1912. The former is mainly dedicated to the research of wired communication, optics, and power systems, while the latter is a product of the continuous expansion of the international radio field. In the 1930s, the term "electronics" began to enter engineering dictionaries. Although many engineers are members of both AIEE and IRE associations, new electronic engineers are still more inclined to join the Institute of Radio Engineers. The fierce competition between two associations has resulted in cooperation and merger between both parties. In 1963, AIEE and IRE announced their merger, and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) was officially established.

As the world's largest professional technical organization, IEEE publishes nearly one-third of its technical literature in the fields of electrical and electronic engineering, computer science, and other technologies, including 200 journals and magazines published annually. The IEEE Xplore Digital Library has over 5 million publications. In conjunction with academic exchange activities in various professional and technical fields, IEEE also provides publications such as journals, technical communications, conference proceedings, and conference journals.

Nowadays, with the continuous development and evolution of electronic information and other related technologies, as well as the expansion of member professional scope and the growing interest in technology, IEEE has also expanded its focus to other emerging fields. IEEE will strive to help its members keep up with and lead the pace of new technology development, establish international and industry standards, and inspire a new generation of professional technicians to build and integrate into global technology collaboration teams. More importantly, with the expansion of the geographical scope of its members, IEEE has become increasingly globalized, and through the globalization of its members, it has been at the forefront of technological development in high-tech fields such as aerospace, biotechnology, computer engineering, new energy, geographic information systems, neural networks, and wireless communication.
