1964 Aiken received the Harry M Goode Memorial Award, a medal and $2,000 awarded by the Computer Society:-
For his original contribution to the development of automatic computers that led to the first large-scale, general-purpose, automatic digital computer ever to be put in operation; for his continuous work in the field of digital computers as an engineer; and for the knowledge and inspiration imparted to many as a teacher.
This was one of many honours which Aiken received for his pioneering work on the development of computers. Awards were from many countries including the United States, France, The Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany.
University professor, mathematician, completed in 1944 the world's first large-scale computer, the Mark 1, taught mathematics at Harvard University (1939-61) and directed the university's computation laboratory (1946-61), professor of information technology at the University of Miami since 1961.
