The Birth of Silicon Valley: by Carolyne Tajina
... to the early 1930's during the Great Depression. Santa Clara County,
California, known as the Valley of Heart's Delight, was a tranquil expanse of
apricot, plum, and cherry orchards. Professor Frederick Terman of Stanford
University's Department of Electrical Engineering enjoyed the tranquillity, but
he was concerned with the great lack of opportunities for Stanford Engineering
graduates to find jobs in the area. His graduates had to go 3000 miles to the
east coast because there were few jobs for them locally. He began to encourage
some of his students to start companies near the university.
Fred Terman Father of Silicon Valley: by Carolyne
Tajina
In has been said that an institution is but the lengthened shadow
of one great man. In as much as Silicon Valley is an institution, Fred Terman
was such a man. One of his first steps was to bring together two of his former
students, William Hewlett and David Packard, founders of the Hewlett-Packard
Company.
