  • Cecil Howard Green (August 6, 1900 – April 11, 2003) was a British-born American geophysicist who trained at the University of British Columbia and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He was a founder of Texas Instruments. With his wife Ida Green, he was a philanthropist who helped found the University of Texas at Dallas, Green College at the University of British Columbia, St. Mark's School of Texas, and Green College at the University of Oxford.
  • Jim Harris was one of the founders of Compaq Computer Corporation.

  • Morris Chang, born July 10, 1931, is the founding Chairman of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Ltd. (TSMC) in 1987. TSMC pioneered the "dedicated silicon foundry" industry and is the largest silicon foundry in the world. Chang was born in Ningbo, Zhejiang province, China. He had wanted to become a writer but his father, an official in the Ningbo county government, persuaded him otherwise.
  • Eugene McDermott (1899-1973) was a geophysicist and co-founder of first of Geophysical Service and later of Texas Instruments. Born in Brooklyn, New York, on February 12, 1899. He graduated from Stevens Institute of Technology in 1919 with a mechanical engineering degree.
  • Joseph Rodney Canion (born January 19, 1945) is an American computer scientist and businessman. Canion is a co-founder and was a CEO of Compaq Computer Corporation. A native of Houston, Canion graduated from the University of Houston in 1966 and 1968 with Bachelor's and Master's degrees in electrical engineering with an emphasis on computer science. Before co-founding Compaq Canion worked at Texas Instruments.

  • Bill Murto co-founded Compaq with Jim Harris and Rod Canion in 1982, investing $1000 in the company. Before co-founding Compaq, Murto worked at Texas Instruments.
  • Gordon Kidd Teal (January 10, 1907 – January 7, 2003) invented a method of applying the Czochralski method to produce extremely pure germanium single crystals used in making greatly improved transistors. He, together with Morgan Sparks invented a modification of the process that produced the configuration necessary for the fabrication of bipolar junction transistors. He is most remembered for developing the first silicon transistor while at Texas Instruments.
  • Duy-Loan Le was the first woman and the first Asian to get elected to the rank of Texas Instruments Senior Fellow.
  • J. Ross Macdonald (Savannah, 27 February 1923), is a physicist, who was instrumental in building up the Central Research laboratories of Texas Instruments (TI).
  • George Harry Heilmeier (born May 22, 1936) is an American engineer and businessman, who was a pioneering contributor to liquid crystal displays.
  • Dr. Willis Alfred Adcock (November 25, 1922 – December 16, 2003) was a Canadian-American physical chemist, university professor, and electrical engineer who worked on the first atomic bomb and assisted with the invention of the silicon transistor, as well as the integrated circuit. He held several US patents.
  • Patrick Eugene Haggerty (March 17, 1914 – October 1, 1980) was an American engineer and businessman. He was a co-founder and former president and chairman of Texas Instruments, Incorporated. Haggerty is most responsible for turning a small Texas oil exploration company into the leader in semiconductors that Texas Instruments is today.
