The IEEE Medal of Honor is the highest recognition of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, presented since 1917 to an individual or team of up to three for exceptional contributions or extraordinary careers in technology, engineering and science in the IEEE fields of interest. It was created by the Institute of Radio Engineers as the IRE Medal of Honor and took its current name when the IRE merged with the American Institute of Electrical Engineers to form the IEEE in 1963. The first recipient, in 1917, was Edwin Howard Armstrong.
