Reference excerpt

Through its awards program, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers recognizes contributions that advance the fields of interest to the IEEE. For nearly a century, the IEEE Awards Program has paid tribute to technical professionals whose exceptional achievements and outstanding contributions have made a lasting impact on technology, society and the engineering profession. The IEEE Medals and IEEE Technical Field Awards are institution-level awards. They are considered more prestigious than IEEE Society level awards and are administered by IEEE Awards Board. Each year, the IEEE Board of Directors approved the winners of these prestigious medals and awards at their annual board meeting. An IEEE Honors Ceremony is organized and held in New York each year to present the medals and awards to the recipients. Funds for the awards program, other than those provided by corporate sponsors for some awards, are administered by the IEEE Foundation.

Scholarships IEEE Life Members Graduate Study Fellowship in Electrical Engineering was established by the IEEE in 2000. The fellowship is awarded annually to a first year, full-time graduate student obtaining their masters for work in the area of electrical engineering, at an engineering school/program of recognized standing worldwide. IEEE Charles LeGeyt Fortescue Graduate Scholarship was established by the IRE in 1939 to commemorate Charles Legeyt Fortescue's contributions to electrical engineering. The scholarship is awarded for one year of full-time graduate work obtaining their masters in electrical engineering an ANE engineering school of recognized standing in the United States.

Awards at the society and technical council level The IEEE societies (of which there are 39 as of June 2020) and IEEE technical councils (seven as of June 2020) also have their own award programs. These include recognizing volunteers at the society technical committee levels and conference levels, for service and for technical work. However, IEEE institution level awards are above IEEE societies and technical council level awards, with higher standards, recognition, and prestige.

Student activities IEEE offers many student awards, competitions and other opportunities for students to become actively involved.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with List of IEEE awards

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what List of IEEE awards claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to List of IEEE awards before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about List of IEEE awards ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of List of IEEE awards

In research: List of IEEE awards appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses List of IEEE awards in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: List of IEEE awards is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics IEEE awards, Lists of awards by awarding entity, Lists of science and technology awards, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for List of IEEE awards outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
