Also helping lead the drive for more diversity in engineering is Cloud, a director of project engineering at Melbourne-based L3Harris Technologies Inc. and the chair of the L3Harris Employees of African Descent employee resource group, which has more than 1,300 members. We need to understand that diversity is a plus, not a negative, said Cloud, who worked at Lockheed Martin Corp. for 18 years before joining L3Harris 2½ years ago.

To coincidence with the release of the first-ever ROI Influencers: Technology list, we asked Zwicker if Murphy’s push to have New Jersey reclaim its global reputation is resonating in the science community.
“I would say, ‘We’re getting there,’” he said.
That’s hardly a precise, scientific answer, but Zwicker said the question is not easily answered.
