Changing Nature of Comm. Eng. Shift to science-based engineering: • Before WW II, communications is a craft • In WW II, RadLab mixes EE & physics � Some evidence physics was essential • Shannon Theory is all math � New probabilistic view � In 1950s, most engineers don’t get it � MIT engineers do
Institutional Factors • 1940-1960: shift of US university research to government funding • World War II & Rad Lab are seminal � Changes scale of MIT research � Changes research culture, attitudes � MIT administrations lead US change • Postwar: unusual pure research $$
