For the 'IIE' or the 'IEEIE' ("Institution of Electrical and Electronic Incorporated Engineers" or "Institution of Electronics and Electrical Incorporated Engineers"), see Institution of Incorporated Engineers.
The IEE was founded in 1871 as the Society of Telegraph Engineers, changed its name in 1880 to the Society of Telegraph Engineers and Electricians and changed to the Institution of Electrical Engineers in 1888. It was Incorporated by a Royal Charter in 1921.[1]
In 1988 the Institution of Electrical Engineers (IEE) merged with the Institution of Electronic and Radio Engineers (IERE), originally the British Institution of Radio Engineers (Brit IRE) founded in 1925.
By the mid-2000s, the IEE was the largest professional engineering society in Europe, with a worldwide membership of around 120,000.
