Professor FAC Perrine was the engineer, and the following year, he left academia for industry. In 1899, Standard Electrical Company completed one of the world's longest transmission lines. With the advancement of electricity, industry and employment opportunities proved plentiful for those with knowledge in the subject. In 1898, it was reported that Perrine was taking a two year leave of absence from teaching, but would continue to reside in Palo Alto and would still have charge of the electrical engineering department. A telegraph office was set up in the Electrical Engineering building in 1897 to act as an operator for the Western Union Company. The design proposed no overhead wires, with the plant to be owned by Stanford University, and the engineering and management to be entirely constructed by the different engineering departments at Stanford. Perrine gave the project to students, with the land having been purchased by private owners prior for a railroad that had fallen through. In January 1894, the electrical engineering department proposed building an electrical railroad from the university to Palo Alto. In 1894, the first undergraduate degree in electrical engineering was awarded to Lucien Howard Gilmore of Capron, Illinois. That year, the EE Department was established in the Engineering Labs. Prior to 1894, electrical engineering had been taught as part of the Physics and Mechanical Engineering curriculum. Perrine, in 1893, made an acknowledgement of gifts to Stanford's Electrical Engineering Department in The Stanford Daily, among them 30 horse power double reduction street-railroad motor, field magnets, and various machines from the General Electric Company and wires from American Electrical Works and New England Butt Company. Perrine was appointed Stanford's first professor of electrical engineering, the program focused on central generating plants for electricity.
Perrine was the first faculty to teach the subject of electrical engineering at Stanford, in 1893. Stanford University opened in 1891, and within the year, courses addressing topics such as electrical currents and magnetism were being taught by professors such as A.P. History Early developments (1800s-1940s)
The department is currently located in the David Packard Building on Jane Stanford Way in Stanford, California. Established in 1894, it is one of nine engineering departments that comprise the school of engineering, and in 1971, had the largest graduate enrollment of any department at Stanford University. The Stanford Department of Electrical Engineering, also known as EE Double E, is a department at Stanford University.
