Hello, my name is Andrew G. Bell (Andy). I work at Ivy Tech Community College in Fort Wayne, Indiana as the Department Chair of the Engineering Programs. Previously, I worked at ITT GS (Space Systems Division) in Fort Wayne, Indiana as an senior electrical engineer for 23 years. I have designed space and defense electronics for POES and GOES which are Meteorological (weather) Satellites. Prior to ITT I worked at (for 6 years) GE in Pittsfield, MA on numerous defense related programs. I graduated from (now UMass at Dartmouth) in 1982 with a BSEE and from RPI in 1985 with a MSE in Electricl Engineering. I have a Greenbelt (2004) from the University of Michigan and a Black Belt (2010) in VBLSS from ITT. I have completed all the coursework for a PhD in Systems Engineering from Stevens Institute in Technology I believe that the solutions too many of today's problems will require global and diverse thinking. This means that improved communication is needed to share ideas to improve the quality of life for all. The use of engineering concepts to solve problems is essential to the success in creating cheap and clean energy, safe water to drink and plentiful food. I also believe that other cultures and people can provide new insight into solving engineering problems.
