The Institute of Electrical Engineers (IEE) was a professional organization founded in 1871 in the United Kingdom. It aimed to promote the advancement of electrical engineering and technology. The IEE provided a platform for engineers to share knowledge, conduct research, and develop professional standards in the field. In 2006, the IEE merged with the Institution of Incorporated Engineers to form the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET). This new organization continues to support electrical engineers and related professionals, offering resources such as publications, conferences, and networking opportunities to foster innovation and collaboration in engineering.
