Historical Note
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) branch of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers appears to be a successor to the MIT Electrical Engineering Society. Its purpose was to provide a preprofessional group for students in Course VI, Electrical Engineering. On January 1, 1963, the professional parent organizations--the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, and the Institute of Radio Engineers merged to form the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE ). The student group then became the Massachusetts Institute of Technology branch of the Institute of Electronic and Electrical Engineers.
