Elected as Vice President of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers (AIEE), demonstrating the recognition he received from his peers in the electrical engineering community.

Received an honorary doctorate from Yale University, recognizing his significant contributions to electrical engineering and physics.

There is a persistent rumor that Tesla was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1915, potentially sharing it with Thomas Edison. However, historical evidence supporting this nomination is inconclusive, and some sources claim that Tesla refused to share the prize with Edison.

Awarded the Edison Medal by the American Institute of Electrical Engineers (AIEE). Despite his earlier conflict with Edison, the award recognized Tesla's significant contributions to the field of electrical engineering.

Awarded the Elliott Cresson Medal by the Franklin Institute, recognizing his contributions to science and technology.

In 1960, the 'tesla' (T) was adopted as the SI unit of magnetic flux density, honoring Tesla's contributions to electromagnetism. This is perhaps the most enduring recognition of his scientific legacy.

Numerous statues, museums, streets, and other landmarks have been named in honor of Tesla around the world, celebrating his life and achievements. He has become a cultural icon, inspiring countless artists, writers, and scientists.
