, I worked for NASA at a Satellite Tracking Station in Ecuador Subsequently I obtained my M.S. and Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering with a minor in Applied Mathematics at the University of Colorado, Boulder. My Ph.D. dissertation work (on Neural Networks applied to control systems and automation) went to the DOD in Virginia. My formal grad- uate academic training was in Control Systems, Telecommunications and Applied Mathematics. After receiving my Masters and Ph.D. degrees in EE, I joined AT&T Bell Laboratories. During my tenure at Bell Labs, I became skilled in the formal methodology and processes of Systems Engineering and Sys- tems Architecture applied to large systems. Throughout my career, in the high-tech
