125th Anniversary of IEEE

A special web page dedicated to the 125th anniversary of IEEE has been set up at http://www.ieee125.org/ .

IEEE history goes back to 1884 when the American Institute of Electrical Engineers (AIEE) was founded. AIEE merged in 1963 with the Institute of Radio Engineers (IRE) forming the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).

Today IEEE has over 365,000 members in 160 countries and produces 30 percent of the world's literature in the electrical and electronics engineering and computer science fields. It publishes more than 120 peer-reviewed journals, hundreds of conference proceedings, professional standards, and educational materials [1].
