A Brief History of the Electronics Division

The Electronics Division published a commemorative brochure in 2008 to mark its 50^th anniversary.

The Electronics Division grew out of the defunct ACerS Whitewares Division and was established by the Board of Trustees in 1957. The Division held its first sessions at the 60^th Annual Meeting in Pittsburgh, Pa., in 1958. This was followed by a first Fall Meeting at Asbury Park, N.J, which was attended by 198 registered participants. Since 2010 the Division has coorganized the Conference on Electronics Materials and Applications with Basic Science Division in Orlando, Fla., welcoming about 400 international researchers. A growing number of EDiv members are Fellows of the Society.
