University, a post to which he was appointed after serving first as Professor
and Chairman of the Electrical Engineering Department, followed by being named
Dean of Faculty. Prior to his time at Northeastern University, Professor Fitzgerald
spent more than 20 years at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, from which he
received the S.M. and Sc.D., and where he rose to the rank of Professor of Electrical
Engineering. Besides Electric Machinery, Professor Fitzgerald was one of the authors
of Basic Electrical Engineering, also published by McGraw-Hill. Throughout
his career, Professor Fitzgerald was at the forefront in the field of long-range power
system planning, working as a consulting engineer in industry both before and after
his academic career. Professor Fitzgerald was a member of several professional societies,
including Sigma Xi, Tau Beta Pi, and Eta Kappa Nu, and he was a Fellow of
the IEEE.
The late Charles Kingsley, Jr. was Professor in the Department of Electrical

Professor Kingsley was co-author of the textbook Magnetic Circuits and
Transformers. After his retirement, he continued to participate in research activities
at M.I.T. He was an active member and Fellow of the IEEE, as well as its predecessor
society, the American Institute of Electrical Engineers. Stephen D. Umans is Principal Research Engineer in the Electromechanical
Systems Laboratory and the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer
Science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, from which he received the S.B.,
S.M., E.E., and Sc.D. degrees, all in electrical engineering. His professional interests
include electromechanics, electric machinery, and electric power systems. At MIT,
he has taught a wide range of courses including electromechanics, electromagnetics,
electric power systems, circuit theory, and analog electronics. He is a Fellow of the
IEEE and an active member of the Power Engineering Society.
