Machinery/Energy Conversion: White/Woodson and Woodson/White ;-)

I had Woodson for 6.06. That was back in '64 or '65.

It was one of the most enjoyable courses I've ever taken.

Steve and I were getting to his office at 9AM on Friday morning
to get our homework back. (Neither of us were morning people,
but it was worth it.) It usually took 5 or 10 minutes to go over
our homework. Then for the rest of the hour, we stood at the
whiteboard and he would toss problems at us. They were all easy
after you saw how to do it. As soon as we got one, he'd toss us
another. It was a lot of work, but a lot of fun.

I teched in Woodson's MHD lab from '59-'62. Woodson was a really nice
guy. Used to go to his house for BBQ.

Prof. Jackson was my thesis adviser.

Jim Melcher was a grad student, working on his PhD under Woodson, at
the time and was teaching one of the active circuits courses as
well... don't remember the course number, but it was the course where
I was the only one in the class to get the start-up limit cycle right
for a tube oscillator.... after being graded the only one wrong, I
convinced Melcher I was right ;-)

Melcher went on to become head of the EE Department, but died young of
colon cancer, just like my youngest son :-(
