The designs are unbelievably
complex compared to those I first worked on. But design, process, and
product engineers today still need to have a sound background in problem
solving techniques and scientific method along with a willingness to
venture into the unknown and try new ideas. Good critical thinking skills
are still necessary for managers, engineers, supervisors, and support
people. Each person in such an effort needs to be valued as a contributor
to the success of the whole. This was important in the 60s and is even more
important today.
I cannot imagine a career any
more interesting than mine has been thanks to the explosion of the IC market
and all of the technology challenges that have been driven by that market
as well as to all of the truly interesting people I’ve been fortunate
enough to work with. Opportunity abounded --and still does.
