  • Groundbreaking Ceremony Held for New ECE Building by TOM MOONE
    NEWS FOR ECE ILLINOIS ALUMNI AND FRIENDS WINTER 2011 Also in this issue: New Assured Cloud Computing Center to be established at Illinois Groundbreaking Solar Decathlon: Helping students and the world ceremony held Alumnus Michael McCorquodale is the first ECE Engineer for new ECE building in Residence Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Breaking ground on the future Dear alumni and friends, I have good news! The dream of a new building for our department, after many years of planning and anticipation, is now becoming a reality. Last month’s groundbreaking of the new ECE building marks the beginning of a new era for our department, a department of global influence and impact, thanks to the excellence of its faculty and alumni. And it is this global impact that makes this groundbreaking special not only for our department, our college, our campus, and our university, but also for the state of Illinois, our nation, and the world. Our faculty and our alumni have been among the pioneers of the major technological innovations that are the bedrock of today’s computing and communication technologies. The marvel of the computing technology and the communications infrastructure we enjoy today, and its catalytic role in improving living standards around the globe, would not have been possible without John Bardeen’s invention of the transistor or Jack Kilby’s brilliant idea of the integrated circuit. These Nobel Prize-winning innovations by two giants of the ECE ILLINOIS community have been followed by many more groundbreaking advances by ECE faculty and alumni, advances that inspire and drive our quest for a sustainable future for all.
