Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­

Inducted to the Hall of Fame in 2019

Heflich was attracted to Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­ for two reasons: its proximity to the beach and its connection to the space industry. While earning his bachelor of science in electrical engineering from Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­ in 1973, Chip worked for NASA at Kennedy Space Center on the Saturn V rocket. Chip especially enjoyed his coursework in solid state physics, and after graduation he decided to leave the space industry to pursue a career designing analog integrated circuits for Texas Instruments (TI). Here, his passion for invention and entrepreneurial spirit thrived.

Heflich was featured in Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­’s 60^thAnniversary special edition book, “60 for 60: Celebrating Sixty Years of Alumni at Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­.”
