Institute of electrical and electronics engineers (IEEE)

         The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) is a professional organization for electronic and electrical engineering (and related disciplines), with headquarters in New York City and an operations center in Piscataway, New Jersey. The American Institute of Electrical Engineers and the Institute of Radio Engineers merged in 1963 to form this organization.

        IEEE has a regional and technical structure that complements each other, with organizational units based on location and technical focus. It oversees a separate organizational entity (IEEE-USA), which makes policy recommendations and implements initiatives that benefit IEEE members, the profession, and the general public in the United States.
