IEEE Centennial Award Medal

Google Lesson Learned: I searched under the text (100th Anniversary), but the medal goes by another name (Centennial). Who knew?

If you think these scans show artifacts of a dusty scanner, you should have seen the first round of scans

http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/iel5/39/...05526255.pdf ... "As a part of its 100th anniversary celebration, the IEEE will award one thousand nine hundred and eighty-four (1984) IEEE Centennial Medals to persons who have been selected by IEEE Societies, Sections, major boards, and other Institute selections, as having made outstanding contributions in their respective areas of activity."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ameri...al_Engineers ... AIChE (the American Institute of Chemical Engineers) was awarded this medal, but can there really be only one?

I've eMailed AIChE, to wit:


Quote:
In 1984, AIChE was the recipient of the IEEE Centennial Award medal.

I am curious as to how many copies of the medal were 'awarded'.

For example, could any AIChE member order their own copy?

Or, was there only one (1) physical medal issued to AIChE as an organization?

Perhaps there was some mention of the IEEE Centennial Award in an AIChE newsletter?

Any information you can pass along would be welcome.


http://ethw.org/IEEE_Awards ... there are enough IEEE medals to be a hobby in & of themselves.

I thought IEEEE meant you were falling

I'm not sure what exonumic category, other than organizational promotion, this might fall under.

I would guess that the IEEE would think they belong less to "organizational promotion" and more to "Science Prizes, Other Than Nobel"

That's a lot of medals.

My tech background made me think FireWire first.

Very interesting. Thank you for sharing your "journey" and your coin!

Mine sent me a little further back to the Centronics printer port (IEEE 1284).
