The IEEE Then 2 10/13/2015
1884: The American Institute of Electrical Engineers is founded A small group of individuals met in New York and founded the AIEE to advance the new field and represent the US at the 1884 International Electrical Exhibition in Philadelphia. Norvin Green, President of Western Union Telegraph and first president of the AIEE Program of the 1884 International Electrical Exhibition, Franklin Institute, Philadelphia Thomas Edison, one of the founders of the AIEE
1912: The Institute of Radio Engineers is founded Radio, a new electrical technology, arose in the first decade of the twentieth century. With the new industry came a new society, IRE, modeled on the AIEE, but devoted to radio, and later increasingly to electronics. 1901 Guglielmo Marconi and George Kemp with equipment used in transatlantic wireless telegraphy 1922 Triode vacuum tube inventor Lee de Forest with a radio 1912 Radio telegraph operators communications with the sinking Titanic demonstrated the power of radio
AIEE + IRE = IEEE The idea that there should be one organization for all electrical engineers was an old one, and became more powerful as the profession expanded beyond its separate roots in power and radio. In 1962, the boards and memberships of the two institutes agreed to merge. On January 1, 1963, the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers was born with 150,000 members. 1962 Symposium on the proposed merger, IRE National Convention The badge of the new IEEE combined the right hand rule from the IRE with the kite from the AIEE Special merger issue of the Proceedings of the IRE

IEEE Engineering Projects in Community Service (EPICS) Organizes university and high-school students to work on engineering-related projects for local area non-profit organizations. Empowers student branches and IEEE GOLD groups to work with high school students on community service-related engineering projects The student branch will identify a non-profit organization that has a project that is important to undertake and has appropriate engineering-content for their students.
How to apply for EPICS funding Since 2009, 54 projects have received funding Student branches can apply by sending completed application form along with a detailed budget to epics-high@ieee.org. Applications may be submitted at any time throughout the year. Feedback within 30 days. For more information, please visit www.ieee.org/epics_high.html
Examples of EPICS Around the World Drexel University (U.S.) In partnership with the Philadelphia Clean Air Council and a local high-school developed an air quality sensor network for monitoring residential areas in South Philadelphia. National Institute of Technology (India) Designed a program for smart phones to help children with cognitive disabilities to communicate by using photographic icons to identify their needs. University of Cape Town (South Africa) Developed a wind power turbine out of scrap material which was able to deliver 50 W of power.
