    Miscellaneous

    Dr. Eisner serves the Engineering Management Department in the School of Engineering and Applied Science (SEAS) as Distinguished Research Professor and Professor of Engineering Management. He joined the University in 1989 after many years as an executive and research engineer with ORI, Inc. and the Atlantic Research Corporation (ARC), holding a variety of executive positions including president of the C3I Division of the ARC Professional Services Group, president of the Intercon Systems Corporation and president of the Atlantic Research Services Corporation (ARSCO).

    Dr. Eisner has been active in developing computer-aided systems and software engineering. His book "Computer-Aided Systems Engineering" (Prentice-Hall, 1988) was the first in this new field. He has given lectures and keynote addresses in these areas and served on the Editorial Board for John Wiley's "Encyclopedia of Software Engineering". His new book (Essential of Project and Systems Engineering Management - John Wiley, 1997) integrates the topics of systems engineering and project management.

    Over the years, Dr. Eisner taught also at the University of Maryland (Systems Engineering), The George Washington University (Modulation & Noise, Information Theory), Columbia University (Electrical Engineering) and Brooklyn College (Physics). He is a Fellow of the Institute of Electronic and Electrical Engineers (IEEE) and The New York Academy of Sciences. He is also a member of Tau Beta Pi, Eta Kappa Nu, Sigma Xi and Omega Rho, various engineering and research honor societies. In 1994, he was given the Outstanding Achievement Award from the GWU Engineering Alumni. He has also served government and industry on a variety of evaluation and advisory panels. He has written, published and presented over seventy unclassified papers in various fields of engineering.
