IEEE Milestones in Electrical Engineering and Computing Historical Markers

Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Milestones recognize international technological innovation found in unique products, services, seminal papers and patents. Some plaques are mounted inside buildings and cannot stand on their own in this database, but might be able to be incorporated into related marker entries.
