...the modern computer can be traced very easily back to the group, led by John Mauchly and Pres Eckert, at the Moore School of Electrical Engineering at the University of Pennsylvania. This group was working on the ENIAC: a large electronic device intended to be used by the United States...

...thumbed through it, he discovered that the notes contained a detailed account of a 1946 conference at the Moore School of Electrical Engineering at the University of Pennsylvania, where a wartime effort to calculate artillery tables had led to the development of the first digital...

...the team building the ENIAC, the first functioning electronic digital computer in the United States, built at the Moore School of Electrical Engineering at the University of Pennsylvania. 32 In addition to calling attention to the value of work being done on computers, Von Neumann made...

...Jr. (b. Apr. 8, 1919; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) American computer scientist. Eckert was educated at the Moore School of Electrical Engineering at the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia. After graduating in 1941 he immediately joined the faculty. Soon after he began his long...

...construction of what was to become the computer. The most influential line of development took place at the Moore School of Electrical Engineering at the University of Pennsylvania in the United States. In 1943 a team led by Mauchley and Eckert started on an army contract to build...

...change in many fields, among them computer development. This picture shows the room-sized ENIAC computer at the Moore School of Electrical Engineering at the University of Pennsylvania, USA, in 1946. A large crowd gathers to watch an atomic bomb test in the Nevada desert during the 1950s....

...example comes from the study of the Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer (ENIAC) developed at the Moore School of Electrical Engineering at the University of Pennsylvania in 1946. The computer, which was constructed of 18,000 vacuum tubes and 170,000 resistors and measured...

...had been developed to perform ballistics calculations for the US Army, was first shown to the public at the Moore School of Electrical Engineering at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia (Hughes, 1996). 3 These developments were approximately contemporary with the origins...
