IEEE International Awards Initiated by the Dayton Section

Pioneer Award

The Pioneer Award has been given yearly since 1949. Created by NAECON in 1949, the Pioneer Award has recognized the numerous outstanding people for their contributions in the electrical and electronic fields. As NAECON grew, the IEEE Dayton Section and the IEEE and Aerospace & Electronic Systems Society became the co-sponsors for the conference and always honored the Pioneer Award winners at their gala banquet. The importance of this award has grown to become the international premier award of the Aerospace Electronic Systems Society. This award is given for an accomplishment where the system/concept had initially been developed at least 20 years prior to the year of the award to ensure proper historical perspective.

The display case for the IEEE Dayton Section will be used to display plaques for the Nobel Award, the Russ Award, and the Pioneer Award.  The display case is located at Tec^Edge, on 5000 Springfield Street, Suite 100. The IEEE Dayton Section greatly appreciates the efforts of Mr. McFawn to make this happen, it is very important for our Dayton Section and the Dayton Community!
