“Over 45 years experience working as an Electrical Engineer in various Manufacturing Companies. Engineers were much more generalists in the middle of the 20th century. It was common for Electrical Engineers to become expert in multiple disciplines such as Software Design, Systems Engineer, Chemical Engineer, Mechanical Engineer, or any other Engineer as needed. Once a person earned an Engineering Degree, Ownership of Small (and not so small) companies expected an Engineer to be able to serve wearing whatever Hat was needed to get the job done.”
“I have been Architect and General Contractor of plant layouts. I started and developed a complete Hybrid Thick Film Manufacturing Plant including specification of the unique equipment. Sales in excess of $5MM/year.”
