  1. IEEE MILESTONES PROGRAM Celebrating Historic Achievements in Electrical Engineering and Computing

  2. IEEE Milestones in Electrical Engineering and Computing • Administered by the IEEE History Center Preserving, Researching and Promoting the Legacy of Electrical Engineering and Computing

  3. IEEE History CenterMilestones Program IEEE Milestones Locations Some of these symbols represent multiple Milestones

  4. IEEE Milestones Locations

  5. IEEE Milestones Program Guidelines • Milestone proposal is submitted by a Member on ethw.org, sponsored by a Section, a Society, or a Chapter, • Advocate is chosen to review proposal and assist proposers • When the sponsoring unit is not an IEEE Section, endorsement by the appropriate Section is required. • Approval by Advocate, including wording of citation • Approval by IEEE History Committee • Approval by IEEE Board of Directors • Milestone Dedication Ceremony

  6. First Steps in Proposing a Milestone • Choose a proposer • Obtain the sponsorship of an IEEE Organizational Unit (Section, Society, Council, Chapter, etc.) who will pay for the plaque(s) and ceremony • Obtain the permission of the owner of the site where the Milestone plaque will be mounted

  7. Process takes from 12-15 months • Depending on History Committee and Board of Directors meeting schedule. • Proposers should allow time to plan dedication ceremony and cast plaque(s) • Plaques take 8 weeks to cast

  8. Submission • Submission of the Proposal on the ETHW • Full guidelines and examples to follow can be found at: http://ieeemilestones.ethw.org/Milestone_Guidelines_and_How_to_Propose_a_Milestone

  9. Volunteer advocate works with Nominators • Ensures sufficient citations and references to support the claim • Helps develop a concise and accurate citation • Recommends IEEE History Committee action on proposal

  10. Approving the Milestone • IEEE History Committee votes whether or not to recommend IEEE Board of Directors final approval • If the History Committee recommends approval, History Center staff submits proposal to the Board of Directors for final action.

  11. Planning the Dedication Ceremony • Dedication ceremonies are in the hands of the sponsoring IEEE Organizational Unit. May be as elaborate or simple as desired. • Opportunities for local press, corporate, and political involvement, and high visibility for IEEE

  12. Planning the dedication ceremony • Templates are available on the ETHW to help in the planning • Recommend contacting the IEEE President’s Office early in the process to arrange and invite IEEE speakers.

  13. For further information about the IEEE Milestones Program: • Full Milestone Program Guidelines with templates and examples can be found on the ETHW at: http://ieeemilestones.ethw.org/IEEE_Milestones_Program • Contact the IEEE History Center staff at ieee-history@ieee.org or 732-562-5450
