Chuck Peddle, who was on campus to receive the Alumni Career Award, delivered a keynote speech on Friday, April 5th at “Disruptive Innovation,” a moderated panel presented by the College of Engineering.
Peddle’s involvement in the development of the 6502 microprocessor, the first affordable mass-produced chip, led to the first personal computers. He graduated from UMaine in 1959 with a degree in engineering physics.
