About the Author
Neil Siegel spent many years successfully managing engineering projects, big and small. He managed successful projects in aerospace and defense, civil government (at the federal, state, and city level), health‐care, the steel industry, the energy industry, higher education, the entertainment industry, and others. His inventions are also widely used in the consumer electronics industry.
He has won many honors and awards for his work as a manager of engineering projects, including election to the U.S. National Academy of Engineering, the U.S. National Academy of Inventors, the IEEE Simon Ramo Medal for Systems Engineering, and many others. In addition to these personal awards, projects that he led have received honors and awards, such as the inaugural Crosstalk Award for the best‐managed software project across the entire U.S. Government.
He earned a Ph.D. in systems engineering at the University of Southern California, where his advisor was the noted computer scientist and systems engineering Barry Boehm.
He retired after 18 years as a vice‐president of the Northrop Grumman Corporation at the end of 2015, and now teaches systems engineering and engineering project management at the University of Southern California.
