M. Kemal Atesmen, PhD, pursued an academic and an industrial career in parallel and became an associate professor in mechanical engineering before dedicating his professional life to international engineering management and engineering project management for thirty-three years. He is now retired, but has helped many young engineers to bridge the gap between college and professional life in automotive, computer component, data communication, and offshore oil industries. He is a life member of ASME.
