". It is an IEEE-level award, created in 1980 by the board of directors of the IEEE, but sponsored by the IEEE Control Systems Society. Originally the name was IEEE Control Systems Science and Engineering Award, but after 1991 the IEEE changed it to ''IEEE Control Systems Award''. Recipients of this award receive a bronze medal, a certificate, and an honorarium.
