With just 4-5 members as active IEEE members in the year 1985, the IEEE Student Branch KLS’s GIT has grown big. As an active student branch of the North Karnataka Sub-Section, it has also helped few dormant student branches to revive themselves and also guided new institutes to start a student branch. Earlier the members of the branch used to publish technical papers only. With its member strength growing, student activities and student technical symposiums were initiated. Gaining experiences from old conferences like GITCON in the ’90s to INFINITY in 2004, IEEE Student Branch has come a long way in contributing to IEEE Community.
Foundation of the AIEE
In the spring of 1884, a small group of individuals in the electrical professions met in New York, USA. They formed a new organization to support professionals in their nascent field and to aid them in their efforts to apply innovation for the betterment of humanity—the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, or AIEE for short. That October, the AIEE held its first technical meeting in Philadelphia, PA, USA. Many early leaders, such as founding President Norvin Green of Western Union, came from telegraphy.
Mission statement - IEEE's core purpose is to foster technological innovation and excellence for the benefit of humanity.
Vision statement - IEEE will be essential to the global technical community and to technical professionals everywhere, and be universally recognized for the contributions of technology and of technical professionals in improving global conditions.
