The IEEE Milestones Program is a commemorative plaque program which recognizes significant technical achievements in all areas associated with IEEE. The designated fields (per IEEE Bylaw I-104.11 ) are: Engineering, Computer Sciences and Information Technology, Physical Sciences, Biological and Medical Sciences, Mathematics, Technical Communications, Education, Management, and Law and Policy. It is a program of the IEEE History Committee, administered through the IEEE History Center.
IEEE Milestones commemorate the technological innovation and excellence for the benefit of humanity found in unique products, services, seminal papers, and patents. Milestones commemorate the achievement, rather than a place or a person. Milestones are proposed by any IEEE member, and are sponsored by one or more IEEE sections. To be proposed as an IEEE Milestone, an achievement must be at least 25 years old, have benefited humanity, and must have had widespread geographic importance.
