IEEE recognition programsIEEE recognition programs“The IEEE shall recognize those who contribute to and support the purposes of the Institute in an exceptionally worthy manner. In furtherance of this objective, the Institute has created and fostered a broad program of formal recognition, scholarships and awards of all types. The Institute encourages the formation of awards committees in its geographical, professional and technical entities to recognize outstanding achievements and services for the benefit of the IEEE and the engineering profession, and for those accomplishments which enhance the quality of life for all people throughout the world.

IEEE Awards serve several purposes: (1) they are an expression of recognition for outstanding contributions to the art and science of electrical and electronics engineering; (2) they are an incentive to youth to emulate excellence, (3) they are a personalized recognition of the achievements of the profession and its members to the public, and (4) they identify the IEEE with these achievements.”
