Retired professor of electrical engineering technology at Purdue University, Marge Taber, Ph.D., served as the SWE collegiate section faculty advisor. Diagnosed with cancer, even after 56 radiation treatments and cancer reoccurrences, Dr. Taber never gave up hope. She began her career as a development engineer, and after six years left industry to get in on the ground floor of the development of an electrical-electronic engineering technology program at a community college. She continued as an educator and never looked back. In 1987, she was recognized by SWE as the year’s Distinguished Engineering Educator.
