| Publisher Description: A Faculty Story takes a long look back at the Department of Electrical Engineering during the middle years of the twentieth century when Texas Technological College became a part of the state university system as Texas Tech University. The excitement and growing pains of this transition from regional teaching college to academic research institution often took dramatic form through the leadership and talents of electrical engineering faculty members during the Cold War years. This is the story of their ambitions, achievements, and struggles in creating a precedent-setting undergraduate curriculum and nationally recognized graduate research program at a brand new university in isolated West Texas. |
