The following list of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) milestones represents key historical achievements in electrical and electronic engineering. [ 1 ] Prior to 1800
Engineering advances in the 1880s, including the invention of the transformer, led to electric utilities starting to adopting alternating current, up until then used primarily in arc lighting systems, as a distribution standard for outdoor and indoor lighting (eventually replacing direct current for such purposes).

His invention of the voltaic cell leads to the invention the electric battery. 1791 – Luigi Galvani discovers galvanic electricity and bioelectricity through experiments following an observation that touching exposed muscles in frogs' legs with a scalpel which had been close to a static electrical machine caused them to jump. He called this ...
Some of the devices which would enable wireless telegraphy were invented before 1900. These include the spark-gap transmitter and the coherer with early demonstrations and published findings by David Edward Hughes (1880) [9] and Heinrich Rudolf Hertz (1887 to 1890) [10] and further additions to the field by Édouard Branly, Nikola Tesla, Oliver Lodge, Jagadish Chandra Bose, and Ferdinand Braun.
Originally, the United Engineering Foundation had made a grant to develop an engineering intersociety web platform as a central historical repository. [9] Initially, the work was mainly done at the IEEE History Center. [10] annexed to the Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, NJ. [11]
