This page details the procedures to follow and the form to use when an individual serves as a reference for a Standards Education Award nominee.
Reference eligibility
The nominator is responsible for providing a minimum of three and a maximum of five people to serve as references for this award.
- At least two references must be IEEE members.
- Current members of the IEEE EAB, the IEEE EAB Awards and Recognition Committee, the IEEE Standards Board of Governors, or the Standards Awards Committee may not serve as references for the IEEE EAB Standards Education Award.
Preparation of reference form
The IEEE EAB Awards and Recognition Committee relies heavily on your statements. Statements of reference should cite specific evidence of the uniqueness and impact of the contributions of the candidate. Nonspecific comments without accompanying detailed justification are not of value to the IEEE EAB Awards and Recognition Committee.
Comments about the relative contributions of any work attributed to more than just the nominee (i.e., if you are a co-author of a listed activity) are extremely valuable. All statements of reference must be submitted using the IEEE EAB Standards Education Award Reference Form (DOC, 108 KB).
The data on the Nomination Form (DOC, 57 KB) should not be repeated word for word on the Reference Form. Such appropriation of another's words puts in question the reference's judgment of the candidate’s accomplishments, and, to that extent, diminishes the judges' confidence in the reference and reduces its contribution to the candidate's ranking.
Please complete the form, save it as an MS Word file, and submit it as an attached e-mail file to eab-awards@ieee.org. Also, please e-mail a copy of your completed Reference Form to the nominator.
- All information must be typed in MS Word.
- Limit number of words as indicated in the text boxes provided.
- Handwritten copy is not permitted.
- Please submit all information in English.
