Biographie de l'auteur

Raymond C. Watson, Jr., brings a personal insight into the history covered in this book. He was first a student, then an instructor in the Navy's WWII Electronics Training Program. Following the Navy, he has had simultaneous industrial and academic careers, and earned five degrees, including a Ph.D. in engineering, all pursued part time. With undergraduate minors in history and literature (unusual for an engineer), he has a passion for researching and writing about technology evolution. Having earlier worked in broadcasting, Watson returned to this activity in 1946 after leaving the Navy, then later formed an FCC-recognized company providing engineering services for radio, television, and communications stations. In 1960, he joined a large aerospace firm and served many years in positions including director of research, chief engineer/chief scientist, and vice president for science and engineering. He later headed American subsidiaries of Israeli and Singaporean high-technology companies. Since 1953, Watson's academic positions have included professorships in engineering and physics; department and division chairmanships; director of a research institute; and president of a graduate professional school. He has mentored more than 200 graduate students. As an NSF Fellow, he developed a university's radio-astronomy observatory. Still working full time, he provides consulting services to defense, space, and commercial firms through R. C. Watson & Associates, and leads the Engineering and Technology Advisory Board at Alabama A & M University. Throughout his careers, Watson has authored or coauthored more than 430 papers, reports, and presentations. Watson was born in 1926 at Anniston, Alabama, and raised on a small dairy farm. Since 1960, he has lived in Huntsville, Alabama, but his work has involved activities across America and in many other countries. He is married and has four children, eight grandchildren, and a g
