My father is a very successful Engineer from TI. That's why I am a Technician.
My Dad retired from TI and had a lot to do with them being where they are today. Smart man and a great dad. He led the design team for the LED read out. Tomahawk Guidance system, TI computers and their TI 84 calculates, he did it all. Holds a patent on the Aluminum retention maze and getter
Abstract
Aluminum or aluminum foil is placed in communication with the interior of a cold cathode gas discharge display chamber to prevent undesirable quantities of mercury from entering the display chamber and to absorb undesirable O.sub.2 and H.sub.2 O which may evolve during the life of the display device.

We worked at the main plant on 35 starting in 1963 then at the Sherman plant after that Lemon Ave then Lubbock and right before he retired back to 35. Do you remember a guy named Bill Bush we worked with my dad on and off on different projects. If you worked in the semiconductor division you knew him until we moved to Lubbock in 1979.

A new engineer has proven he can learn but next he needs to realize he has a lot to learn. Like most, I thought I knew everything when I got out of college. Fortunately, some designers taught me otherwise. With about 10 years of experience, engineers begin to actually earn their pay. If they've had some good experience.
The least likely engineer to work out is the one that graduated top of his class. He or she has no experience with humility.
