IEEE MEDAL OF HONOR

The 'IEEE Medal of Honor' is the highest recognition of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). It has been awarded once each year since 1917, when its first recipient was Major Edwin H. Armstrong. It is given for an exceptional contribution or an extraordinary career in the IEEE fields of interest. The award consists of a gold medal, bronze replica, certificate and honorarium.
The medal was originally founded by the Institute of Radio Engineers (IRE) as the 'IRE Medal of Honor'. It became the IEEE Medal of Honor when IRE merged with the American Institute of Electrical Engineers (AIEE) to form IEEE in 1963.
