According tothis new engineer, the company had a very relaxed atmosphere and it was very easy to makeacquaintances within the company due to the large number of young people there. Alsocontributing to the positive work environment was the variety of hands-on work that his joballowed him to do.

But that was too often overshadowed by the realization of my remaining obligation to others less fortunate, especially the children of this world. Moreover, these years at Bell further solidified in my mind the importance of gaining an international perspective for the field of engineering. . . . It was then I experienced a real awareness that the science and engineering workforce needed to be regarded as more than a national resource. I now emphatically feel that global issues can only be solved by using global intellectual resources, and that the interdependency of
