| 释义 |
The Institution of Electrical Engineers (IEE) was a British professional organisation of electronics, electrical, manufacturing, and Information Technology professionals, especially electrical engineers. It began in 1871 as the Society of Telegraph Engineers. In 2006, it ceased to exist independently, becoming part of the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET). Notable past presidents have included Lord Kelvin (1889), Sir Joseph Swan (1898) and Sebastian de Ferranti (1910–11). Notable chairmen include John M. M. Munro (1910-11). HistoryThe 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 1889. It was Incorporated by a Royal Charter in 1921. 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). By the mid-2000s, the IEE was the largest professional engineering society in Europe, with a worldwide membership of around 120,000. Discussions about a merger with the Institution of Incorporated Engineers (IIE) about the formation of a new institution started in 2004, and following membership voting, the IEE merged with the IIE on March 31 2006, to form the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET).[1][2] See also
