<b>UW's graduates form the next generation of Washington's
leaders</b> in business, engineering, science, and government.

<p>
<b>These graduates staff high-technology industry</b>.
The University of Washington is the largest supplier of new
college graduates in the nation to Microsoft.
The University of Washington also is the largest supplier of
new college graduates in the nation to Intel -- Intel has
38 "Strategic Universities," and UW is #1.
The UW Department of Computer Science &amp; Engineering is
essentially the only supplier to a number of major regional
firms such as DECwest Engineering, Geoworks/Seattle, and
Tera Computer.
Every year, UW CSE sends more than 100 outstanding Computer
Science and Computer Engineering majors into the Puget
Sound area workforce.

<p>
<b>Programs such as CSE import new technology to the
Northwest</b>.  UW CSE brought the Internet to the
Northwest 15 years ago, when a DECsystem-20 in our
department became the first computer in a several state
region to be attached to what was then ARPANET.
(Today, University of Washington Computing &amp; Communications
operates the attachment point for NorthWestNet, the principal
Internet service provider in the Pacific Northwest.)

original Very Large
Scale Integrated (VLSI) circuit designers in
the Northwest were trained in UW CSE</a>, in a program
co-sponsored by UW CSE, Boeing, and Caltech.
Graduates of that first course built the first
microprocessor VAX, the MicroVAX-I, at DECwest
Engineering.

<p>
<b>These programs create new technology</b>.
In the 1970s, the Pascal compiler for Digital
Equipment Corporation's then-new VAX computer was
built by UW CSE; the existence of this compiler
is given significant credit for the VAX's rapid
penetration of the academic market.

in 1995 by two CSE graduate students working with the
University of Washington football department; Sundodger Scout
is credited by the Husky coaches with contributing considerably
to the team's remarkable success (Pac-10 co-champion)
coming off two years of probation.

of Washington and Microsoft has led to new products and to new
technologies incorporated in existing products --
