In the early 1970’s, the first author was evolved with designing, building andinstalling successful ground based missile locating and tracking systems for the Department ofDefense. Funds for additional ground based missile locating and tracking systems were notallocated because a decision was made to deploy satellite missile defense systems. The 1972Antiballistic Missile (ABM) Treaty with the Soviet Union delayed development of missiledefense systems by the United States (U.S.). Now, the U.S. has a National Missile Defense(NMD) program. The most pressing concern today is the feasibility of an attack by NorthKorean ballistic missiles bearing nuclear or biological weapons. Hypothesizing that a

The bridgeprogram, taught before the start of the fall quarter, is a week-long intensive course designed toprovide incoming first-year students with a strong and focused start to college life. The aim is toprovide a venue to help students socially and academically integrate into the campus community.Over the course of 4 years, the summer bridge program evolved from a lecture-heavy math-focused course to a project

Moreover, we are a satellite campus2 andkeeping our equipment and facilities up to date is always a difficult challenge. As such, evenused equipment is often attractive.Periodically, customers who sent equipment to this company for repair decided it was better toreplace their old amplifier(s) with new ones rather than pay the sometimes fairly expensive repairbill. Thus, this local employer proposed donating some of these old amplifiers, along with theparts needed for repair, and letting us repair and use them.
