An interesting fact about UW - Madison

This is a very interesting piece of information about UW that
I think even the people in my Department arent aware of but is a huge
selling point.

Okay can you name the three most important discoveries related to the
electrical engineering world that have recieved Nobel Prizes ? Let
me refresh your memory...
a) Transistor
b) Integrated Circuits
c) Superconductivity

Each of these discoveries includes a person who did Master's in the
Electrical Engineering Department at UW - Madison.

Jack Kilby, of Texas Instruments who won a Nobel Prize for inventing
integrated circuits did his Masters here. John Bardeen, won a Nobel for
Physics twice (this is another very important piece of trivia, he is the one
and only to win in the same field.) once for the transistor and later for
the discovery of superconductivity.

Now you know why UW rocks!!
