The School of Information Technology and Electrical Engineering (ITEE)
and Department of Information Technology Services (ITS) warmly invites
you to celebrate 50 years of digital computing at UQ.

Fifty years ago, UQ commissioned the first-ever digital computer in
Queensland – a General Electric GE225.

This technological advancement was located in UQ's Computer Centre,
now called the Prentice Building, which was officially opened on 1
August 1962.

Since then UQ has witnessed remarkable advancements in technological
performance - from large single-user to multi-user main-frame
computers – to dedicated minicomputers, personal microcomputers,
portable laptops and iPads.

Join us on Wednesday 1 August for a special event to celebrate this
milestone, and the outstanding contributions our staff, student and
alumni community has made to the computing and IT industry in
Queensland and beyond.
