Abstract
In 1979, two years after he was posthumously inducted into the U.S. Patent Office National Inventors Hall of Fame and honored for his invention of a "System of Distribution by Alternating Currents," and 56 years after Charles Proteus Steinmetz left this world shortly after 8 a.m on 26 October 1923, in Schenectady, New York, the IEEE established a technical field award in his honor. The scope of the award is "for exceptional contributions to the development and/or advancement of standards in electrical and electronic engineering" [1].
