Born on Prince Edward Island, Hector John MacLeod received a B.Sc. from McGill University (1914), M.Sc. from the University of Alberta (1916) and an A.M. and Ph.D. from Harvard University (1921). He developed the electrical engineering faculty at the University of Alberta, serving as professor and head of the department from 1924 to 1936. In 1936, MacLeod joined the University of British Columbia faculty as professor and head of the Department of Electrical and Mechanical Engineering and then Dean of Applied Science (1950-1953). The new Electrical Engineering Building at UBC was named the Hector MacLeod Building in 1964.
