Emeritus Prof. Chun Che (Lance) Fung
IEEE R10 Director's Message
2024 marks IEEE’s 140th anniversary since the founding of AIEE (American Institute of Electrical Engineers) by a small group of individuals in the electrical professions in New York in 1884.
The aim was to support professionals in their efforts to apply innovations for the betterment of humanity. On the other hand, the Institute of Radio Engineers (IRE) was established in 1912. The organization is devoted to radio, and then broadly to electronics. On 1st January 1963, both AIEE and IRE merged to form the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers, or IEEE. At its formation, IEEE had 150,000 members 140,000 of whom resided in the United States. Over the years, IEEE’s membership number has grown to over three and a half times at the end of February 2024.
