We're the Best

I attended an Engineering Meeting the other day with Doctor Allen Atkins as the primary speaker. It was one of the most enjoyable presentations I have ever listened to. Doctor Atkins is a TTU alumni who graduated and moved on to receive his Masters and PhD in electrical engineering. He is known as the father of stealth technology and is now the Vice President of Boeing Company. Doctor Atkins has worked on many projects including some he could not mention. Things such as the F-117 stealth bomber and the jet fighter that can stop in a vertical position in the air are attributed to this man. His story is awe aspiring and really is something that makes one wonder what will happen when they get out into the real world. To know that the education we can get here at TTU could possibly lead us down similar extraordinary paths is something to think about. He also stressed how much he believed the education we get at this college is arguably some of the best in the country or the entire world. Just look at all the world renowned professors and other staff members that work at Tennessee Tech. Students are supposed to be inspired by those who teach them, and here that fact is recognized. Thanks Tennessee Tech.
