John Grist Brainerd (1904 – February 1, 1988) was an American electrical engineer who served as principal investigator on the project to build ENIAC, the first general-purpose electronic digital computer. Later, he was dean of the Moore School of Electrical Engineering at the University of Pennsylvania. Brainerd was the recipient of the IEEE Founders Medal in 1975 "for his leadership in electronics in fields encompassing computer technology, high frequency techniques, engineering education, and national and international electrical standardization."

has abstract	John Grist Brainerd (* 7. August 1904; † 1. Februar 1988) war ein US-amerikanischer Elektrotechniker. (de) John Grist Brainerd (1 de febrero de 1904 – 1 de febrero de 1988) fue un ingeniero eléctrico estadounidense que se convirtió en el investigador jefe del proyecto para construir el ENIAC, el primer ordenador digital electrónico de propósito general en los EE. UU. Más tarde fue decano de la Escuela Univeritaria Moore de Ingeniería Eléctrica, en la Universidad de Pensilvania. Brainerd nació en 1904, obtuvo un título en ingeniería eléctrica por la Universidad de Pensilvania en 1925 y el doctorado en 1929. Fue profesor de la Escuela Univeritaria Moore en 1925 y dirigió la escuela de 1954 a 1970. En 1970 se retira como Profesor Emérito Universitario. La más famosa contribución de Brainerd, junto a J. Presper Eckert, John Mauchly y otros, fue la creación del ENIAC, el primer ordenador digital electrónico de propósito general. A pesar de que Eckert y Mauchly era los diseñadores en jefe del ENIAC, Brainerd fue seleccionado como investigador jefe del proyecto ENIAC, que se desarrolló entre 1943 y 1946 en la Escuela Univeritaria Moore. También ayudó a diseñar el programa de licenciado en ingeniería eléctrica en Penn en 1927, y escribió dos libros de texto, High Frequency Alternating Currents [Corrientes alternas de Alta frecuencia] en 1931 junto a Knox McIlwain y Ultra-High Frequency Techniques [Técnicas de Ultra-Alta Frecuencia] en 1942. Después de retirarse se convirtió en presidente de la Sociedad para la Historia de la Tecnología. Brainerd recibió la Medalla a los Fundadores del IEEE en 1975 "por su liderazgo en electrónica en los campos que abarcan la tecnología de los ordenadores, las técnicas de alta frecuencia, la educación en la ingeniería y la estandarización eléctrica nacional e internacional."

Later, he was dean of the Moore School of Electrical Engineering at the University of Pennsylvania. Brainerd was born in 1904; he earned a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from the University of Pennsylvania in 1925, and a Ph.D. in 1929. He became an instructor in the Moore school in 1925 and directed the school from 1954 to 1970. In 1970 he retired, as emeritus University Professor. Brainerd's most famous contribution, with J. Presper Eckert, John Mauchly, and others, was the creation of ENIAC, the first general-purpose electronic digital computer. Although Eckert and Mauchly were the chief designers of ENIAC, Brainerd was selected as principal investigator of the ENIAC project, which took place between 1943 and 1946 at the Moore school. He also helped found the graduate program in electrical engineering at Penn, in 1927, and wrote two textbooks, High Frequency Alternating Currents (1931) and Ultra-High Frequency Techniques (1942). After retiring, he became president of the Society for the History of Technology. Brainerd was the recipient of the IEEE Founders Medal in 1975 "for his leadership in electronics in fields encompassing computer technology, high frequency techniques, engineering education, and national and international electrical standardization."
