About IEEE

IEEE, an association dedicated to advancing innovation and technological excellence for the benefit of humanity, is the world’s largest technical professional society. IEEE and its members inspire a global community through IEEE’s highly cited publications, conferences, technology standards, and professional and educational activities.

IEEE, pronounced “Eye-triple-E,” stands for the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, and its mission is to serve professionals involved in all aspects of the electrical, electronic, and computing fields and related areas of science and technology that underlie modern civilization.

IEEE’s roots go back to 1884 when electricity began to become a major influence in society. Today, however, technology has become prevalent and essential to all; IEEE’s mission continues to expand beyond traditional topics to include efforts in the biotechnology and bio-device industries, earth-sciences, and social impact.
