About the International Engineering Consortium
In 1944, the International Engineering Consortium (IEC) was founded as a nonprofit organization sponsored by universities and engineering societies, dedicated to continuing education for the U.S. electronics industry.

The Consortium established its reputation as a catalyst for industry-academic collaboration through the National Electronics Conference, a program launched in 1945 that continued through the 1960s and into the early '70s, addressing the needs of the broad-based electronics industry.  The dramatic development of information and communications technologies (ICT) during the last decades of the 20^th Century and the first decade of the 21^st were supported by IEC programs in the Americas, Europe, and Asia.  Most recently, the Consortium has produced programs for the electric utility industry supporting grid modernization and smart grid deployment.
