Brief History

The New Jersey Coast Section of IEEE was established on 20 March 1965. On this date the Executive Committee of IEEE officially approved the transfer of the Monmouth Sub-section of IEEE to full Section status. Dr. David C. Hogg, a member of the National Academy of Engineering, was the chair of the Monmouth Sub-Section of the New York Section at the time of the approval to form the New Jersey Coast Section.

On 28 December 1978, the expansion of the ED/MTT Chapter of the New Jersey Coast Section to include QEA Chapter to form ED/MTT/QEA Joint Chapter was improved. Howard Wichansky was recorded as the chair of the Chapter.

The Region 1 Board of Governors held a meeting at at South Seaside Park, New Jersey on 26 September 1981.

On 19 May 1983, the Joint Chapter of the Circuits and Systems and Control Systems Societies in the New Jersey Coast Section was approved .

On 26 November 1984, the existing New Jersey Coast Joint Vehicular Technology and Electromagnetic Compatibility Chapter expanded to include Antennas and Propagation.

On 20 May 1985, all approvals were received for the expansion of the existing New Jersey Coast Aerospace and Electronic Systems Chapter to include Engineering Management. Edmund Karaukas was recorded as the Interim Chair.

On 28 October 1988, the change in status of the Circuits & Systems and Control Systems Joint Chapter to a single Circuits & Systems Chapter in the New Jersey Coast Chapter.

On 9 April 1990, the IEEE Executive Committee approved the expansion of the Circuits & Systems Chapter to include the Signal Processing Society in the New Jersey Coast Section.

On 20 July 1990, the Computer Chapter expanded to become joint with the Instrument & Measurement Society in the New Jersey Coast Section with Richard A. Kuntz as the Joint Chapter Chair.

On 21 February 1995, the Computer/Communications Society Joint Chapter of the New Jersey Coast Section was formed.
