Remembering IEEE Director Emeritus Theodore W. Hissey

Cars That Think

A jet-setting career After receiving his bachelor’s degree in power engineering in 1948 from Pennsylvania State University in University Park, Hissey joined Leeds and Northrup (L&N) in Philadelphia as an applications engineer. He will never be forgotten. Rest in peace Uncle Ted.” Later he was a principal engineer at Macro Corp.,
