Suitcase of old technology

The IEEE Life Members’ Fellowship in Electrical History

Supports either one year of full-time graduate work in the history of electrical science and technology at a college or university of recognized standing or up to one year of post-doctoral research.

IEEE William And Joyce Middleton Electrical Engineering History Award

Awarded to the author of a book in the history of an IEEE-related technology that both exemplifies exceptional scholarship and reaches beyond academic communities toward a broad public audience.

The Bernard S. Finn IEEE History Prize
