The Institute was established as the Tennessee Radio Service School in 1947 at 422 Gay Street in Knoxville, Tennessee. In 1948, the name was changed to Tennessee Institute of Electronics. Initially, the prime function was to prepare graduates for entry-level employment as electronic technicians in radio and television communications.
In 1967, the Institute was awarded accreditation by the Accrediting Commission of the National Association of Trade and Technical Schools (NATTS), now the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges of Technology (ACCSCT).
