Steinmetz earned wide recognition among the scientific community and numerous awards and honors both during his life and posthumously.

[[Steinmetz's equation]], derived from his experiments, defines the approximate heat energy due to magnetic hysteresis released, per cycle per unit volume of magnetic material. A [[Steinmetz solid]] is the solid body generated by the intersection of two or three cylinders of equal radius at right angles. [[Induction motor#Steinmetz equivalent circuit|Steinmetz's equivalent circuit]] is still widely used for the design and testing of induction machines.<ref name="Steinmetz1897">{{harvnb|Steinmetz|Berg|1897|loc=|}}</ref>

One of the highest technical recognitions given by the [[Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers]], the "[[IEEE Charles Proteus Steinmetz Award]]", is given for major contributions to [[standardization]] within the field of electrical and electronics engineering.

The [[Charles P. Steinmetz Memorial Lecture]] series was begun in his honor in 1925,<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.union.edu/news/stories/2015/04/prominent-woman-engineer-to-headline-steinmetz-memorial-lecture.php |title=Technology innovator to headline Steinmetz Memorial Lecture - Union College |access-date=July 22, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180615135643/https://www.union.edu/news/stories/2015/04/prominent-woman-engineer-to-headline-steinmetz-memorial-lecture.php |archive-date=June 15, 2018 |url-status=dead }}</ref> sponsored by the Schenectady branch of the [[IEEE]].<ref name=ieeehist>{{cite book|url=http://ethw.org/IEEE_Schenectady_Section_History|title=IEEE Schenectady Section History|chapter=IEEE Schenectady Section|date=December 13, 2021 |publisher=IEEE|location=Schenectady}} Section History founded January 26, 1903.</ref> Through 2017 seventy-three gatherings have taken place, held almost exclusively at [[Union College]], featuring notable figures such as [[Nobel Prize|Nobel laureate]] experimental physicist [[Robert A.

Steinmetz's connection to Union is further celebrated with the annual Steinmetz Symposium,<ref name="UC SteinmetzSym">{{cite web |title=Steinmetz Symposium: Celebrating 25 years of student research  |url=http://www.union.edu/news/stories/2015/05/steinmetz-symposium-celebrating-25-years-of-student-research.php |publisher=Union College |date=May 9, 2015}}</ref> a day-long event in which Union undergraduates give presentations on research they have done. Steinmetz Hall, which houses the Union College computer center, is named after him.

A 1914 "Duplex Drive Brougham" [[Detroit Electric]] automobile that once belonged to Steinmetz was purchased by Union College in 1971, and restored for use in campus ceremonies. The Steinmetz car is permanently displayed in the first-floor corridor between the Wold Center and F.W. Olin building.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2014-04-10 |title=Steinmetz car gets prominent spot at Union College |url=https://www.union.edu/news/stories/201404/Steinmetz-car-gets-prominent-spot-at-Union-College |access-date=2022-07-08 |website=Union College |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |date=2014-04-01 |title=Steinmetz Car drives into the spotlight |url=https://www.union.edu/news/stories/201404/Steinmetz-Car-drives-into-the-spotlight |access-date=2022-07-08 |website=Union College |language=en}}</ref>
