Tuesday I got a guided tour of the electrical engineering and computer department. When I taught there, we had just transitioned out vacuum tubes, so a lot of things have changed. I was escorted by LTC Brian Peterson (class of' 91), shown in the picture making some caustic comments about a cadet's engineering notebook. There are still the small classes and plenty of hands-on and interactive teaching styles. I felt right at home with the format.
Security is a lot tighter than when I was here. Now, in addition to the gates that control access to the academy, there are additional gates controlling access to the cadet area. I required an escort to get to the main academic building, Fairchild Hall. While I was in the cadet area, I took a picture of the portal over the ramp up to the quadrangle. For 30 years or so it said, "Bring Me Men". You can see from the picture that the wording has been changed to more gender neutral sentiments.
