History
Artwick was born and raised in Norridge, Illinois and attended Triton Junior college before going to University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign to study computer engineering in 1973. When he got there, Artwick switched his focus at first to electrical engineering because he believed that the degree would be more acceptable to the public eye. As a student at U of I, Artwick expressed his enthusiasm for aviation by doing research at the Aviation Research Lab holding a technician position in DCL. Between 1975-1976 Artwick and his graphic group in the University designed graphic terminals for DCL. During this time, Artwick found himself the time to become a pilot. The amount of hours spent doing graphics accumulated to a rich understanding for the topic which according to Bruce, he said, "I learned more working in the basement of DCL than in classes." Artwick graduated with a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering in 1975 and obtained a Master’s Degree in electrical Engineering in the following year.
