An Engineer's Life: One Man's Tale of Adventure
Alfred H. Bellows
Synopsis "An Engineer's Life: One Man's Tale of Adventure"
Engineering is alive and exciting—not dull and boring. The author recounts his engineering life from childhood repairing lamp cords, building tree houses with his buddy, and rescuing a totaled car. He recalls college where he earned two degrees and experienced humanity and finance. And he describes many professional successes: designing cameras at Polaroid and Avant; developing electronic products and production machinery for ECA; tuning-up coal mining equipment for the USBM; designing, testing, and launching payloads on three Space Shuttle flights for GTE; and introducing LEDs to the lighting business at Sylvania. He recounts his avocation of remodeling houses; describes his foray into consulting; and relives being an expert witness with 58 hours on the witness stand. And lastly, he philosophizes about his career from the perspective of half a century of practicing engineering in many venues.
