PCJS/ IEEE Milestone Award Recipients
The IEEE established the Electrical Engineering Milestones program in 1983 to honor significant achievements in the history of electrical and electronics engineering. To be designated an achievement it must be at least 25 years old, must have involved a unique solution to an engineering problem, and must have had at least regional impact. Today the IEEE Milestones in Electrical Engineering and Computing Program recognizes achievements in all IEEE fields. Currently there are only lightly more than 60 Milestones around the world. A list of the current Milestones is available at: https://www.ieee.org/web /aboutus/history_center /milestones_alpha.html
Our Section is honored to have two world-class works which have impacted not only the region, but the entire world.
(1) Liquid Crystal Display
(2) Edison Menlo Park Lab
1. Liquid Crystal Display (LCD):
Between 1964 and 1968, at the RCA David Sarnoff Research Center in Princeton, New Jersey, a team of engineers and scientists led by George H. Heilmeier with Louis A. Zanoni and Lucian A. Barton, devised a method for electronic control of light reflected from liquid crystals and demonstrated the first liquid crystal display. Their work launched a global industry that now produces millions of LCDs annually for watches, calculators, flat-panel displays in televisions, computers and instruments.
2. Edison Menlo Park Lab:
The Wizard of Menlo Park, Thomas Alva Edison was one of the pioneers of modern science who greatly influenced life in 20 th century. Born in Ohio, Thomas Edison began his career as an inventor in Newark, New Jersey, with the automatic repeater and other improved telegraphic devices. The invention which first gained him fame was the phonograph in 1877. Edison 's major innovation there after was the first industrial research lab, which was built in early 1876, in Menlo Park , New Jersey. This was the first lab of its kind set up with the specific purpose of producing constant technological innovation and improvement. After decades of research and numerous achievements, Edison and his entire team had abandoned the Menlo Park Lab by 1886. In the 1920s, Henry Ford had his staff reconstruct the Menlo Park buildings from photographs which now serve as historic landmarks, and museum. Click Here to learn more and take a Virtual Tour...
Emerit Badges
The IEEE Richmond Section in Virginia has been granted funding for a new global non-discriminatory pre-college technology education program for boys and girls. The project is titled emeritbadges.org
Please visit their web site www.emeritbadges.org to find more information on this innovative program. Partnering with Boy Scouts of America, the IEEE sponsored program is dedicated to inspiring and kindling interest in electricity and electrical engineering among young people.
