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.
He said, in engineering at one time a profession dominated by white males diversity of gender, race, ethnicity and sexual orientation is crucial, and helps create diversity of thought that helps the creative process of engineering.

As she prepares to graduate from Missouri University of Science and Technology this May, Ashley-Ann Davis has some important advice for next fall’s college freshmen.
“Figure out what’s important to you, and once you figure that out, prioritize it,” says Davis, of Jefferson City, Missouri. “Once you prioritize what matters, you can focus more easily.”
But setting priorities doesn’t mean you can’t have fun. Davis, who was born in Jamaica and will graduate in May with a bachelor of science degree in engineering management, has managed to excel as a student while having a good time along the way. And she wrote a book with a title that says it all: Partying With a 4.0: Finding Balance in College.
