The IEEE name was originally an acronym for the Institute of Electrical and Electronics
Engineers, Inc. Today, the organization's scope of interest has expanded into so many related
fields, that it is simply referred to by the letters I-E-E-E (pronounced Eye-triple-E).

both inside and outside of the classroom. Throughout the year, IEEE is involved in multiple
local, regional, and national events, as well as host to a few of its own. Our organization
regularly coordinates an inspection tour to various electrical engineering firms and leading
technology companies in the Midwest. In the past, we've toured Northwest Airlines, 3M, Rockwell
Automation, and Lockheed Martin to name a few.
