Stata, chairman of the Board of Analog Devices, Inc., Norwood, Mass., has been named 2003 recipient of the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, New York, www.ieee.org) A membership organization that includes engineers, scientists and students in electronics and allied fields. Founders medal. He is being honored for his "leadership in the electronics industry through innovative technological development and visionary contributions in entrepreneurship, management and education." Stata will receive the award at the annual IEEE Honors Ceremony on June 21st in Nashville, Tennessee. The IEEE Founders Medal was established in 1952 by an IEEE predecessor society, the Institute of Radio Engineers Following several attempts to form a technical organization of wireless practitioners in 1908-1912, the Institute of Radio Engineers (IRE) was finally established in 1912 in New York. , to honor leadership of great value to the engineering profession. The award includes a gold medal, a bronze replica and an honorarium HONORARIUM. A recompense for services rendered. It is usually applied only to the recompense given to persons whose business is connected with science; as the fee paid to counsel. 2. . It is sponsored by the IEEE Foundation. In 1965, Stata and co-founder Matthew Lorber established ADI as a company charged with the mission of solving the engineering challenges associated with signal processing in electronic equipment. Under his guidance as chief executive officer and chairman, ADI has become a world-leader in high-performance analog, mixed-signal and digital signal processing See DSP. Digital Signal Processing - (DSP) Computer manipulation of analog signals (commonly sound or image) which have been converted to digital form (sampled). integrated circuits. Stata served as president of the company from 1971-1991 and as CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization.

Over 20 years ago, the MHTC MHTC Massachusetts High Technology Council MHTC Mount Horeb Telephone Company (Mount Horeb, Wisconsin) MHTC Minnesota High Technology Council began the "Two Percent Solution" contribution program that encourages corporations to dedicate a portion of their research and development budgets to education. Today, Stata serves on the Board of the MHTC. He also chairs the Engineering in Massachusetts Collaborative which focuses on nurturing math and science interest in the kindergarten through 12th grade levels with the goal of encouraging more graduates to study engineering. Stata has shared his knowledge of business and management practices with other companies worldwide through the Center for Quality Management, which, together with Thomas Lee and Shoji shoji In Japanese architecture, sliding partition doors and windows made of a latticework wooden frame and covered with a tough, translucent white paper.

He has served on the U.S. Executive Committee of the Council on Competitiveness since 1987, with the aim of helping rehabilitate and foster the competitiveness of American industry in a changing global economic climate. He is the co-author with James Botkin and Dan Dimancescu of two books, Global Stakes: The Future of High Technology in America and The Innovators: Rediscovering America's Creative Energy. Stata is a member of the U.S. National Academy of Engineering and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and is a Foreign Fellow of the Indian National Academy of Engineering. He is a life member of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Massachusetts Institute of Technology, at Cambridge; coeducational; chartered 1861, opened 1865 in Boston, moved 1916. It has long been recognized as an outstanding technological institute and its Sloan School of Management has notable programs in business, Corporation. Stata earned his bachelor's and his master's degrees in electrical engineering from MIT. The IEEE is the world's largest technical professional society with more than 380,000 members in approximately 150 countries. Through its members, the IEEE is a leading authority on areas ranging from aerospace, computers and telecommunications to biomedicine, electric power and consumer electronics. The IEEE produces 30 percent of the world's literature in the electrical and electronics engineering and computer science fields Computer Science has a number of major sub-fields which can be classified by a number of means (for example the ACM classification system).
