The Harold Pender Award

The Harold Pender Award is given by the Faculty of the Moore School to an outstanding member of the engineering profession who has achieved distinction by significant contributions to society. The Pender Award is the School's highest honor and is celebrated with a guest lecture by the honoree and a reception.

This year, we honor Jack St. Clair Kilby for his part in the invention of the integrated circuit, or microchip, that made possible the development of the modern computer.

The Harold Pender Lecture, "Invention of the Integrated Circuit," by Jack St. Clair Kilby, will be held on Wednesday, March 21, 2001 at 4:30 p.m. in Heilmeier Hall, Towne Building. A reception will follow.
