The Institute is celebrating its fiftieth anniversary this 12 months. Launched in 1976, the publication was designed to maintain members knowledgeable about IEEE and what its constituents have been doing, in addition to to report on the group’s initiatives, technical requirements, merchandise, and companies.
That directive expanded through the years to incorporate our reporting on key historic technical achievements acknowledged as IEEE Milestones and assist for younger professionals with career-guidance articles and details about instructional sources.
The Institute has gone by means of many iterations up to now 50 years.

Because the longest-serving editor in chief for The Institute, it’s a privilege for me and my workers to chronicle the tales of exceptional IEEE people. They’re often-unseen visionaries and problem-solvers who work tirelessly behind the scenes on applied sciences which can be reshaping the world. By highlighting their careers and the way IEEE has performed a job of their skilled development, we hope to encourage the subsequent era of engineers and technologists to proceed a legacy of innovation and repair to humanity.
