Abstract :
The author, a Director of IEEE and Chairman of the IEEE Intersociety Relations Committee, discusses in the following news story what is contained in the United Engineering Center (UEC) that IEEE members should know about. This is the first of a series of such news stories on the aftermath of the AIEE-IRE merger. This space in the UEC proved ideal in size and location for the IEEE Editorial, Professional Technical Groups, and Technical Operations Committee staflfs, numbering 88. The decision to install all of the editorial and technical service staffs together and in the same building with the Engineering Societies Library, the Engineering Index, and the staffs of the 17 other major engineering societies has been an important factor in accelerating the complete integration of the work of the two Institutes.
