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

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
