After one year in this situation, he went to Ohio State University to study for a Ph.D. Upon receiving his master's degree, he sought a position in the electronics industry however, the depression limited his options, so he accepted a position as an electric power engineer in the nickel mines of Sudbury, Ontario. His first electronic development project was a pioneering automatic gain control system, which provided a 30-decibel compression ratio for the radio station's studio audio system. He served in that position until 1935, supporting himself while he earned BSEE and MSEE degrees in 19. The following year he enrolled in the University of Alberta in the electrical engineering department and obtained a position as control operator in the university's radio broadcasting station, CKUA.
His accomplishments have been recognized by numerous awards and offices.īorn in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, on December 31, 1910, he attended the public schools of that city and graduated from Victoria High School in 1927.
He spent his life from the age of seventeen in the practice of electrical engineering, having served successfully in the gamut of roles from radio broadcast technician through engineering student, industrial engineer, professor, researcher, administrator, author, editor, and consultant to government and industry over a span of six decades.
