Since I have been married I have claimed I have three families: My birth family, My husband's family and My SEMGS/GT family. It means that I get to have a lot of nieces and nephews.
I grew up in Saugatuck, Michigan. Then, I attended Michigan Technological University where I majored in Mathematics and Electrical Engineering. Work has brought me to southeastern Michigan. Each move has been to a larger and larger community, a trend that needs to be reversed.
I have 15 years with General Motors. I have worked for both manufacturing and product engineering in the Truck Group. Currently, I do IT support for engineers who do vehicle design simulations(crash, electrical systems, heating & cooling and mechanical parts).
I started using and learning Linux in February 1995. Linux, Slackware distribution with XFree86, is the OS that I am using at home.
I started using the Web in August 1995. I took Purdue's Internet Resources Design and Development as a distance course by videotape and Internet. The project work for that course has evolved into the current Women and Mathematics Information server. I also run an email list for this group out of mystery.com.
Just finished another distance course. This one is CS590M Information Systems, from Purdue. I enjoyed learning while I was using what was being taught.
I was a GM moderator for Purdue CE597N:Internet Resources Design & Development This class had changed since I took it. It was now done over the Internet entirely. No Lectures, some students struggle at first with this concept. However, I believe most students from our site enjoyed it.
