Part Two investigates the ethical quality of moral agencies of executive decisions, choices and actions when supported by ethics of critical thinking, moral reasoning, ethics of rights and duties, and ethics of moral leadership.

    Memorial Tributes Volume 19 Copyright © National Academy of Sciences. All rights reserved. Memorial Tributes Volume 19 AMAR G. BOSE 1929–2013 Elected in 1987 “For innovation and leadership in the science and engineering of sound reproduction, and for excellence in engineering education.” BY ALAN V. OPPENHEIM AMAR GOPAL BOSE, chairman of the board and technical director of Bose Corporation, and professor emeritus of electri- cal engineering and computer science at the Massachusetts In- stitute of Technology, died on July 12, 2013, at the age of 83. He was born on November 2, 1929, in Philadelphia. Dr. Bose received his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in 1952 and his ScD degree in 1956, all in electrical engineer- ing from MIT. He was elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 1987. Throughout his career he received many awards and recognitions as an educator, inventor, researcher, and entrepreneur. He holds numerous patents in the fields of acoustics, electronics, nonlinear systems, and communication theory. In 1956, as a member of the MIT Department of Electrical Engineering and the Research Laboratory of Electronics, Dr. Bose began a research program in physical acoustics and psychoacoustics. Much of his early interest in these areas stemmed in part from his passion for classical music and his disappointment in available sound reproduction systems. His research led to the formation of Bose Corporation in 1964. The associated patents provided the foundation for the company’s consumer products—home entertainment systems; automo- tive sound systems; noise reduction headsets and headphones 19 Copyright © National Academy of Sciences.

  • Professional Practice Successful EE and CE Engineers
    3/10/2016 Professional Practice Successful EE and CE Engineers Chad Ryan UNIVERSITY OF SCRANTON Ryan 1 The term entrepreneur is used to describe individuals who identify a communal need for something and invent a new way to satisfy that communal need. Entrepreneurs are relentless in their determination to seek out and solve these communal needs and problems in their communities. By doing this, they are fundamentally changing and impacting the world. (Nelson page1) According to Webster's Dictionary, an entrepreneur is one who organizes, manages, and assumes the risks of a business or enterprise. In the Electrical and Computer Engineering world, there exists hundreds of entrepreneurs who changed the world. I believe that three of these engineers stand out above the rest. They have invented and perfected technologies that have drastically changed the world in major ways. The three inventors/entrepreneurs that changed the world in which we live are Jack Kilby, Amar Gopal Bose and Steve Jobs. The first of these inventors/entrepreneurs was Jack Kilby, who was born on November 8, 1923, and died on June 20, 2005. Jack Kilby invented integrated circuits which are also known as microchips. Kilby’s invention fundamentally changed the electronic age by allowing computers to go from the size of an entire room to the size of a small desktop device. (“Jack Kilby” page 1) The next two inventors both utilized the work of Jack Kilby and expanded his work far beyond anything that was thought to be possible before Kilby’s creation. The second of these inventors/entrepreneurs is Amar Gopal Bose, who lived from November 2, 1929 to July 12, 2013.
