What Do We Do?

“To measure is to know”---Lord Kelvin, 1883


History• 1950 Professional Group on Instrumentation &

Measurement founded as part of IRE • 1952 began I&M Transactions• 1963 IEEE forms• 1970 Group becomes a society• 1978 name changed to Instrumentation &

Measurement Society• 1984 first IMTC Conference• 1998 I&M Magazine replaces I&M Newsletter


Field of Interest

The Instrumentation and Measurement Society’s Field of Interest is the science, technology and application of instrumentation and measurement.


I&M is Key

• For virtually ever specialization works with instrumentation & measurement

• …but the world doesn’t revolve around I&M!

Test

Control

Character-ization

Sensing

I & M
