The UWEE Centennial:
A Century of Innovators
Our Centennial Celebration was held April 29, 2006. It was great to see lots of old friends and to meet many new ones.
Over the past 100 years EE has helped to launch the careers of many amazing graduates, and produced innovative inventions that have, quite literally, changed our world. Thank you for helping us celebrate our rich history - your history - at our centennial celebration.
Our organizing committee created a fantastic line-up of events, giving people a great opportunity to connect with old friends and new. We hope everyone found the day's events entertaining, educational, and fun!
