IEEE came into being in 1963 with the merger of AIEE and IRE. Both of those organizations were founded by leaders in industry. AIEE was founded 140 years ago by the likes of Edison, Tesla, Thomson, and Weston. Alexander Graham Bell served as an early president. IRE was founded in 1912 by leaders in the evolving wireless telegraphy industry.
