About the Author
Howard Eisner spent 30 years in industry and 24 years in academia. In the former, he was a working engineer, manager, executive (at ORI, Inc. and the Atlantic Research Corporation) and president of two high-tech companies (Intercon Systems and the Atlantic Research Services Company). In academia he was a professor of engineering management and a distinguished research professor in the Engineering School at The George Washington University (GWU). At GWU he taught courses in systems engineering, technical enterprises, project management, modulation and noise and information theory.
He has written nine books that relate to engineering, systems, and management. He has also given lectures, tutorials and colloquia to professional societies (such as INCOSE – International Council on Systems Engineering), government agencies (such as the DoD, NASA and the DOT) and other groups (such as the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI)).
In 1994 he was given the outstanding achievement award from the GWU Engineering Alumni.
Dr. Eisner is a Life Fellow of the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) and a fellow of INCOSE and the New York Academy of Sciences. He is a member of Tau Beta Pi, Eta Kappa Nu, Sigma Xi and Omega Rho, various research/honor societies. He received a Bachelor’s degree (BEE) from the City College of New York (1957), a Master of Science degree in Electrical Engineering from Columbia University (1958), and a Doctor of Science degree from The George Washington University (1966).
Since 2013, he has served as professor emeritus of engineering management and distinguished research professor at The George Washington University. As such, he has continued to explore advanced topics in engineering, systems, and management.
