IEEE James H. Mulligan Jr. Education Medal

The IEEE James H. Mulligan Jr. Education Medal (formerly the IEEE Education Medal or AIEE Education Medal) is an award that "recognizes the importance of the educator's contributions to the vitality, imagination, and leadership of the members of the engineering profession.". This award may only be awarded to an individual. It was established by the American Institute of Electrical Engineers (AIEE) in 1956, but continued to be awarded by the Board of Directors of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), after the AIEE organization merged into the IEEE in 1963.

Recipients of this award receive a gold medal, bronze replica, certificate and honorarium.

James H. Mulligan, for whom the award is named, was Professor Emeritus in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and former Dean of the School of Engineering at University of California, Irvine, from 1974-1977. He was also a member of the faculty of the Department of Electrical Engineering at New York University, serving as Chairman of the Department from 1952 to 1968.
