Biography | Kelly Ortberg — The Mechanical Engineering Degree Taken on South Capitol
kevin
People treat a Boeing chief as a product of an Ivy League business school.
The first degree was a Bachelor of Science in mechanical engineering from the University of Iowa, finished in 1982.
The college sits in the Seamans Center for the Engineering Arts and Sciences at 103 South Capitol Street in Iowa City.
The present complex wraps an older engineering building from 1905 and a 1931–32 mechanical-engineering annex. The name on the door changed after Ortberg left; the campus is the same hill above the Iowa River.
He started work the next year as an engineer at Texas Instruments, then joined Rockwell Collins in Cedar Rapids in 1987 as a program manager.
The university later put him on the College of Engineering advisory board, inducted him into the Distinguished Engineering Alumni Academy in 2013, and gave him the Distinguished Alumni Achievement Award in 2018.
The Daily Iowan recorded a 2011 gift of 50,000 dollars to the college to recruit more women into engineering.
