FAWWAZ T. ULABYdescribing his or her understanding of what role electromagnetics plays in science,
technology, and society. The following statement, submitted by Mr. Schaldenbrand, who has
since graduated with a BS.E. degree, was selected for inclusion here:
Electromagnetics has done more than just help science. Since we have such
advanced communications, our understanding of orher nations and nation-
atites has increased exponentially. This understanding has led and will lead
the governments of the world 10 work towards global peace. The more
knowledge we have about different cultures, the less foreign these cultures
will seem. A global kinship wil result, and the by-product will be harmony.
Understanding is the first step, and communication is the means.
Electromagnetics holds the key 10 this communication, and therefore is an
important subject for not only science, but also the sake of humanity
