About Milton E. Mohr

Milton E. Mohr (1915-2000) was described in his lifetime as "...engineer, inventor, entrepreneur, corporate leader" and was instrumental in providing key leadership to young adults. In 1938 he graduated, highest in his class, from UNL with a bachelor of science degree in electrical engineering, and in 1959 UNL awarded him an honorary doctorate of engineering. He was President and CEO of Quotron Systems, formerly Bunker Ramo Corporation, from 1970 to 1988 when it pioneered the first electronic stock quotation network for the brokerage industry, providing financial data to nearly two-thirds of the nation's brokers. He designed cryptographic and early transistor circuits for Bell Laboratories, holding nearly 30 patents, and later electronic control systems for automatic rocket and missile fire control systems for Hughes Aircraft.

As an electrical engineer, corporate executive and philanthropist, Milton Mohr believed that becoming an entrepreneur and corporate leader requires a knowledge and experience base, and that one does not leap "...suddenly to corporate success." He was named America's Most Outstanding Young Electrical Engineer in 1948. The Milton E. Mohr Scholarship and Fellowship Awards Program was established in 1989 for students in the College of Engineering or Biotechnology degree programs. Students will be selected on their academic performance and potential for accomplishments in their specific field. The scholarships and fellowships are made possible through an endowment to the University Foundation.
